The beginning of the article briefly describes the principle and construction solution of the cold crucible. The next part is devoted to the numerical simulation of the cold crucible with different number of rectangle segments. The calculation considers the electrically non-conductive material (Al2O3 in melted form) as the load at normal temperature. Based on the obtained results (Joule losses), it is possible to determine the distribution of power losses in the individual parts of the cold crucible and efficiency of the system. Finally, the best construction solution is selected.
