Proper water flow is crucial for water chillers in injection molding to ensure consistent cooling and product quality.
The ideal flow rate for injection molding applications is 2-3 gallons per minute per ton of cooling capacity, with a temperature differential of 10-15°F between supply and return lines.
Selecting the right pump type, monitoring flow rates, maintaining water quality, and balancing flow in multi-cavity molds are essential for optimizing chiller performance.
Proactive maintenance, including regular inspections and cleaning, can help ensure optimal flow efficiency and maximize the benefits of water flow optimization in injection molding.
