IMPROVEMENT IN CONVENTIONAL WATER JACKET METHOD IN MOULD COOLING USING HEAT PIPE

摘要

Die casting moulds and injection moulding are cooled by conventional water jacket method. Cooling of mould is very essential for the purpose of quality of parts and cycle time. The conventional water jackets methods used are having many disadvantages, due to which the effect of mould cooling is not optimum. Hence a technique which can overcome all the disadvantages and become optimum emerged. The main aim of this proposed work is to improve conventional water jackets methods in mould cooling by the application of heat pipe. Heat pipe plays an very important role in such situations, and shows effective results, there by improving the conventional water jacket method in mould cooling. It transfers heat many times faster than pure copper.
