Claim: What is claimed is
Claim: 1. An induction heater comprising
Claim: an induction coil for producing an electromagnetic field;
Claim: a means for cooling said induction coil, said means for cooling including a cryostat filled with a cryogenic coolant, and a plurality of pipes connecting said cryostat with a source of cryogenic coolant;
Claim: said induction coil disposed in said cryostat;
Claim: a heat-insulating element encompassing the product to be heated, said element having no provision for cooling and being made of a non-conductive material, whereby said heat-insulating suppresses the thermal flux released by said product to be heated toward said induction coil;
Claim: a cooled sectionalized baffle for suppressing the heat flux released by said product to be heated, said baffle being interposed between said cryostat and said heat-insulating element;
Claim: said induction coil being made of metal having at least 99.99 percent chemical purity;
Claim: said cryogenic coolant being of a temperature in the range from 15.degree. to 120.degree. K.; and
Claim: said cryostat at least partially including a dielectric material thereby forming an open electric circuit.
Claim: 2. An induction heater as claimed in claim 1, wherein the said induction coil is formed of aluminum, and
Claim: said cryogenic coolant being a condensed gas with a temperature of 70.degree. to 120.degree. K.
Claim: 3. An induction heater as claimed in claim 1, wherein said induction coil is formed of aluminum with a purity of its chemical composition of 99.995 percent, and a condensed gas with a temperature of 15.degree. to 35.degree. K. is used as the cryogenic coolant. PG,12
Claim: 4. An induction heater as claimed in claims 1, 2, or 3, wherein said cooled baffle is placed in close proximity to said cryostat and in spaced relationship with said heat-insulating element.
