Technology and Innovation Highlights

Diva Induction Cooktops come equipped with five (DDP-5), four (DDP-4) or two (DDP-2) induction elements or heating zones, and each zone has its touch-sensitive controls. When a finger is placed on the glass above a sensor, the sensor recognizes the change in its electrical field - electrical capacity of the finger tip, and consequently gives an order to the cooktop's electronics. These controls are durable and reliable, and add to the sleek styling of the cooktop.

The other ?magic? of the Diva Induction Cooktop is the transfer of energy that is the induction technology. The induction phenomenon, unveiled in 1830s, is simply creation of electricity - movement of electrons - inside a conductor when this conductor is exposed to a changing magnetic field. On an induction cooktop, the induction generator - inverter, coupled to a coil - inductor, makes a magnetic filed of ever-changing properties (frequency and intensity), which causes rapid movement of electrons (electric current) in pots and pans. Due to electrical resistance of certain pots and pans (induction grade utensils) this current creates heat. With induction, the energy is transferred via electromagnetic field and the heat is generated inside a pot or a pan itself with an insignificant energy loss. This makes induction heat economical, quick and extremely responsive.
