'Dry water' cooling for extrusion blow.A new cooling system cooling system: see air conditioning; internal-combustion engine; refrigeration. cooling system Apparatus used to keep the temperature of a structure or device from exceeding limits imposed by needs of safety and efficiency. for extrusion blow molding incorporates chilled moist air to boost production by up to 30%. The Compressed Air compressed air, air whose volume has been decreased by the application of pressure. Air is compressed by various devices, including the simple hand pump and the reciprocating, rotary, centrifugal, and axial-flow compressors. Chiller chill·er n. 1. One that chills. 2. A frightening story, especially one involving violence, evil, or the supernatural; a thriller. chiller Noun 1. (CAC See Consumer Advisory Council. ) Dry Water system from Fasti GmbH in Austria targets large containers (20 liters or more) and technical parts. Fasti is represented here by Comet Automation Systems, Inc., Dayton, Ohio. The new cooling system is a refinement of Fasti's CAC unit, which operates solely on chilled compressed air. The new CAC Dry Water system uses compressed air that is 100% saturated with water vapor. This "saturated steam" is injected into the part through a nozzle at 2 to 5 C (36 to 41 F). The air/water mixture extracts heat from the plastic while leaving no moisture on the part. Cost is similar to Fasti's CAC unit--starting at $32,400. The first commercial use will be for 20L to 30L jerry cans. Tel: (937) 296-9166 * www.cometauxiliary.com [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
