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.
