Rapid Heating and Cooling inlet dialog

To access this dialog, assign a rapid heating and cooling inlet to your cooling channel, then click on it to make it active and click ( Boundary Conditions tab > Properties panel > Edit)

Property Description
Heating Saturated steam heating is one way to rapidly heat the mold. Steam heating can be controlled according to the temperature to which you would like to heat the mold, or the length of time you would like the steam to be passed through the channels.
Primary air purge Following steam heating of the mold, the channels must be purged of steam in order to enable subsequent good contact of the coolant water with the channels and ensure efficient cooling of the mold.
  • Duration - enter the time, in seconds, that air will be pumped through the channels
  • Pressure - enter the pressure, in MPa, at which the air will be pumped, to ensure that all the steam is removed from the channels.
Water cooling Once the channels have been purged of steam, water is pumped through the channels to enable rapid cooling of the mold.
Secondary air purge Following rapid cooling of the mold, the channels must be purged of water in order to enable subsequent good contact of the saturated steam with the channels and ensure efficient heating of the mold.
  • Duration - enter the time, in seconds, that air will be pumped through the channels
  • Pressure - enter the pressure, in MPa, at which the air will be pumped, to ensure that all the water is removed from the channels.
