Vapor Chamber Utilization for Rapid Cooling in the Conventional Plastic Injection Molding Process

Abstract: Injection molding is the most common process for producing plastic products. The surface quality and the cycle time of the plastic product is strongly influenced by the cooling system, which accounts for approximately 70% of cycle time. In conventional injection molds, beryllium copper (BeCu) inserts are commonly used to speed up the cooling process and to obtain a uniform temperature distribution. This study aims to compare the abilities of the vapor chamber and the BeCu insert to increase the cooling rate an… Show more

“…The product yields are not significantly different when using cold water and ambient-temperature water (regular water) as the cooling fluid in the condenser [17]. The presence of a vapor chamber in the system increases the heating rate and enhances cooling performance [18]. The liquid yield increases due to an increase of the vapor temperature up to 200 °C ; this process was obtained in a fixed bed reactor at a low heating rate [19].…”

“…The effect of the sweeping gas influences the residence time of vapor in the reaction zone because it transports the vapor to the LCS immediately. The vapor chamber was used to increase the cooling process (Hasnan et al, 2017). The pressure in the reaction zone is quite low due to its low temperature.…”
