Abstract: mended practices are provided for the design, installation, testing, operation, and
maintenance of impedance, induction, and skin-effect heating systems. Thermal insulation and
control and monitoring are addressed. General considerations for heating systems are discussed,
covering selection criteria, design guidelines and considerations, power systems, receiving and
storage, installation, testing, operations, and maintenance. These aspects are then discussed for
each of the above types of systems, along with special considerations particular to each. These rec-
ommended practices are intended to apply to the use of these heating systems in general industry.
Keywords: heating systems, impedance heating, induction heating, process heating, skin-effect
heating, thermal insulation
