DIMENSION

Cooling Channel
Channel diameter= dia. 10 mm.
A simple U-channel is designed for both core and cavity plate. The channel
is interconned via hose pipe that permit water/coolant to flow continously
inside the plates. Inlet and outlet holes are connected to adapters of
appropriate size.
Shrinkage Allowance
For polypropylene(PP), shrinkage allowance = 2%- 4%.

Component detail

Above fig. is the detail view of the component with dimension

including shrinkage allowance. The component is a bucket
type having a hole at one of the side wall. The material of the
component is polypropylene(PP).

DIMENSION

Cooling Channel
Cooling Channel/hole diameter= 7 mm.
A simple U-channel is designed for cavity plate. Inlet and outlet holes are
connected to adapters of appropriate size.
Heat pipes are used for cooling in core plates. A U-channel is designed
which accommodate a heat pipes at the center of the core.
Shrinkage Allowance
For polypropylene(PP), shrinkage allowance = 2%- 4%.
