Awards received – INNOVAR 2018
ENTREPRENEURS AND INVENTORS PROFILE
First prize awarded to Fernando Granieri for his project:
Electric energy saving, up to 60% in the Plastic Industry, using Electromagnetic Induction Heaters YPF Foundation Award

The prizes of the National Innovation Competition – INNOVAR 2018 were presented, within the framework of the exhibition open to the public that took place over three days at the Darwin San Isidro Space. In this edition, the INNOVAR grand prize
«It is not only a sample but the image of the future that is aspired for the country. More and more sophisticated technology, which we hope will reach the market, and improve the quality of people and generate quality employment,» he added, «we He knows creativity and that, in the future it will be a great quality.

Fostering and incorporating it will make the countries have a preponderant role, «said the secretary of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation, Lino Barañao, and congratulated all the contestants and invited them to continue participating. Also attending the award ceremony were the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation of the Province of Buenos Aires, Jorge Elustondo; the mayor of San Isidro, Gustavo Posse; the undersecretary general for culture of the municipality of San Isidro, Eleonora Jaugueriberry; the head of the General Coordination Unit, Alejandro Mentaberry; the secretary of Scientific-Technological Articulation, Agustín Campero; the Undersecretary for Institutional Coordination, Paula Nahirñak; the director of Articulation and Audiovisual Contents Fernando Moncy, among other authorities.
Electromagnetic induction heating training Misura Electric
Misura Electric LLC, has developed this course covering the entire spectrum of induction heating technology. Written by Fernando Granieri, it covers the role of induction heating in producing reliable products, often with considerable savings in energy, labor and time.
Taking a fundamentals approach, the basic principles of induction heating are presented as an introduction. With this as background, methods of selecting equipment, frequency, and power; designing coils; and installing such as heating prior to hot working, heat treating, welding and brazing and melting are described in depth. A lesson on special applications. The final lesson deals with the important questions of system safety and process economics.
This course was developed in cooperation with the Misura Ingenieria S.A.
Target Audience
