    摘要: A temperature control apparatus includes a temperature control branch connected to a feed line for a temperature control medium, a pump system including a pump for conveying the medium, a pump open-loop or closed-loop control device for controlling the output of the pump system, a throttle device having a variable degree of opening for throttling a quantitative through-flow of the medium in the temperature control branch, and an open-loop or closed-loop control device with the degree of opening of the throttle device as a setting value and with a control variable from the group: degree of opening of the throttle device, temperature, temperature difference, through-flow, pressure or a physical value to be derived from that group. The pump open-loop or closed-loop control device provides for open-loop or closed-loop control of the delivery output of the pump system depending on the degree of opening of the throttle device.

    摘要: A mold-cooling system for cooling a heated mold by supplying cooling medium from a cooling medium supply source to a medium flow path provided for a mold. The mold-cooling system is characterized in that a discharge side path connected to an outlet side of the medium flow path of the mold is communicated with a heat exchanger condensing the cooling medium gasified and discharged from the medium flow path.

    摘要: For controlling temperature in the molding of plastics, metal, ceramic, or die-casting, a circulator supporting a molding machine includes a fixed displacement pump driven by an electronic servo motor for volumetric metering of thermal fluid to or from the molding machine. A pre-set or dynamically controlled volume and flow rate profile matches the heating and cooling requirement of a molding machine and process. Volumetric metering may be based on parameters such as time, machine cycle status, temperature, pressure, and/or flow rate. Fluid may be circulated through the mold at positive or negative pressure at fixed, variable, or pulsed flow. The supply side in a fluid loop may be restricted so as to cause a pressure drop in or upstream of the mold, die or barrel, and seed bubbles may be injected into the fluid flow to excite vaporization and lowering of the fluid temperature.

    摘要: An apparatus for controlling temperatures of a mold includes a first heating system, a second heating system, and a cooling system. The first heating system is used for pre-heating medium therein. The second heating system is used for further heating the pre-heated medium provided by the first heating system, and providing the heated medium for the mold after draining out preexisting leftover medium in the mold, before injection molding. The cooling system is used for cooling down the mold after injection molding. A relative method for controlling temperatures of the mold is provided as well.
