Prevents Warping & Defects – Uneven cooling causes sink marks and dimensional instability.
Boosts Productivity – Faster cooling = more cycles per hour.
Extends Mold Life – Proper temperature control reduces thermal stress.
Channel Layout: Straight, spiral, or baffled designs (for complex cores).
Diameter & Pitch: Typical bore: Ø6–12mm, spacing = 3–5× diameter.
Inlet/Outlet Placement: Marked on mold drawings (side or base preferred).
Drilling: Deep-hole drilling for smooth internal surfaces.
Sealing:
Copper plugs or O-rings to prevent leaks.
Thread sealant (e.g., PTFE tape) for NPT/PT fittings.
Connection Types:
Quick Couplers (DME/HASCO standards) for fast mold changes.
Hose & Clamps: Use heat-resistant hoses (PU/EPDM) with stainless clamps.
Manifold (Splitter): Distributes water to multiple circuits with flow control valves.
Mold Temperature Controller: Connect IN/OUT ports correctly (usually red = inlet, blue = outlet).
✔ Pressure Test: 0.6–0.8 MPa air pressure; check for leaks with soapy water.
✔ Flow Rate: Target ≥1.5 m/s (turbulent flow) – measure with a flow meter.
| Problem | Root Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Blockage | Scale/rust buildup | Flush with descaling agent. |
| Leaks | Worn seals/loose fittings | Replace O-rings; tighten joints. |
| Uneven Cooling | Poor layout/low flow | Redesign channels; adjust valves. |
Use treated water (deionized or anti-corrosive) to prevent rust.
Avoid condensation by keeping coolant temp <10°C below mold temp.
Label all lines clearly to prevent cross-connection errors.
Conformal Cooling (3D-printed channels) – Ideal for complex geometries.
Smart Controllers – Real-time temp monitoring (±0.5°C accuracy).
A well-connected cooling system is critical for quality and efficiency. Regular maintenance (e.g., flushing, leak checks) ensures peak performance.
