Advantage Engineering Quote Portable Chillers for Injection Molding

We will need this information to complete a quote for your portable chillers for injection molding and extrusion. Below we’ve explained why we need each piece of information and why it is helpful.

**

Note: Below are the standard questions we ask when working on a portable chiller project. If you are considering a Central Cooling System, contact us.

Material Type

  • This information is not required but can be helpful to help us understand your overall process; in the case you are running engineer-grade materials and/or have a high-temp process.

Material Throughput Rate (lbs/hr or pph)

  • This helps us to understand the cooling cycles and the demand this will have on the temperature control unit. Also, consider where the machine throat temperature is critical, and the unit is required to keep up with the cycle.

Fluid Temp Required (F)

  • This helps us understand which unit to provide, as some have temperature limits.

Flow Rate (GPM)

  • We need to understand the GPM requirements of the cooling channels running across the mold. It is essential to reach a turbulent flow (as opposed to a laminar)
  • Use this calculator to help you get started; http://www.smartflow-usa.com/turbulent-flow-rate-calculator/
  • Overall this will help us understand how to size the pump on the quoted unit and if it can keep up based on the cycle time of the machine and the line sizes on the cooling channels of the mold.

Pressure Required (psi)

  • We need to understand the pressure drop in the channels running across the mold.
  • Your cooling circuit may require a certain amount of pressure to satisfy flow on each cooling channel; cooling designs and modifications may change flow characteristics which need our unit to provide more pressure.

Number of Cooling Channels

  • Knowing the number of cooling channels on your tool/mold will help us understand the circuit and overall flow requirements for the unit based on the specified motor size.

Channel Diameter (inches)

  • Knowing the channel diameter will help us to understand the flow characteristics on the overall circuit.

Number of Temperature Controllers (and hp’s)

  • This helps us to understand the overall heat load (BTUs) that the chiller will be responsible for cooling. If you need a central system, please see the survey sheet below.

Hot Runner Systems (and kW)

  • This helps us to understand the overall heat load (BTUs) that the chiller will be responsible for cooling. If you need a central system, please see the survey sheet below.

Voltage required (#/3/60, #/1/60)?
