Abstract

Abstract In the construction of heat-generating pipe utilizing skin effect current consisting of a ferromagnetic pipe and an insulated wire passed therethrough, a liquid is introduced in advance in said ferromagnetic pipe, and then the insulated wire having an arrangement for making an apparent specific gravity thereof almost equal to or smaller than the specific gravity of said liquid is passed through the inside of the ferromagnetic pipe, whereby the frictional force between said ferromagnetic pipe and insulated wire is reduced, and passing of insulated wire through longer ferromagnetic pipe becomes easier.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 163 words
In the construction of a heat-generating pipe utilizing skin effect current consisting of a ferromagnetic pipe and an elongated insulted wire unit passed therethrough with an arrangement such that when an alternating current is passed through said insulated wire unit an alternating current corresponding thereto flows concentratedly through the inner skin portion of said ferromagnetic pipe to generate heat, but practically no current appears on the outer skin thereof, the method for passing said insulated wire unit through said pipe, which comprises, a. introducing a liquid into said ferromagnetic pipe, and b. then passing through the inside of said ferromagnetic pipe an insulated wire unit which includes foamed material in a quantity sufficient so as to make the apparent specific gravity of the insulated wire unit almost equal to or less than the specific gravity of said liquid, c. said liquid introduced into said pipe being of sufficient quantity to float said insulated wire unit apart from the inner surface of said pipe.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 163 words
