Why care about Heat Energy?How much cooling is enough?

Heat energy input is the starting place.

For cooling a single mold

Or an entire plant!

Introducing The Strange and Interesting Thermal Behavior of

Polymers The basic molecule of a polymer is called a monomer.

Polymers are made up of long chains of monomers.

2 Broad Classes of Polymers:Amorphous and Semi-Crystalline

Specific Heat, Latent Heat, and Polymers

Heat Transfer Basics Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

Energy must be removed from the molded parts and sent somewhere else

This is called heat transfer.

Heat transfer occurs when temperatures are not equal

There are 3 types of heat transfer-conduction, convection, and radiation.

Concept of Water Treatment:Understand and Control Water Chemistry

1. Control pH, 7.0 is neutral, Lower = Acidic, Higher = Alkaline

2. Use inhibitors to control scale and corrosion

3. Control microbiological growth with biocides

Long lever - Turbulence

Long lever – Increased Cooling AreaLonger & Larger Diameter Circuit

Multiplies Power of Coolant

Short lever - Coolant temp. changes mold temp, but small effect on heat transfer

3 – 5” of Steel in terms of heat transfer resistance

Scale increases roughness & pressure drop & decreases flow through cooling circuits

Scale buildup dramatically increases energy costs for pumping and cooling
