'No Cool' Molds, Properly Simulated Simulating Heat Flow in Injection Molds with Heat Pipes

摘要

Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences has succeeded in developing an injection mold that does not require conventional liquid-based temperature control. Heat equalization is effected by means of heat pipes instead. Mold design and heat-pipe selection are based on the outcome of thermal simulations, which yield reliable results thanks to an unconventional approach.
