6. Choice of control fluid
Once the control channels have been designed, the choice of fluid and its flow rate determine the quality of cooling.
6.1 Thermal performance of control fluids
The efficiency of heat exchange in a tool depends directly on the choice of fluid. and thermal properties, as shown in table 5 . The control fluids most commonly used to cool plastic part forming tools are water and oil. CO 2 can also be used to cool...
