Isobar Cooling Pin

An Isobar is a high speed heat transfer device capable of conducting heat energy over 10,000 times faster than copper. It is made of a copper tube or chamber whose inner surface is lined with a copper wick structure. The copper tube is sealed and the air is evacuated, creating a vacuum. When heat is applied to one end of the Isobar by an external source, the internal working fluid dissipates as vapor. The resulting difference in pressure drives the vapor from the heated end to colder areas where it condenses and releases all the heat energy with a high degree of thermal uniformity.

Applications

Isobars are used to heat or cool cores, slides, thin webs, and inserts in thermoset and thermoplastic molds. Because the Isobar is an isothermal device, cores and slides in which they are incorporated are cooled more evenly than by cascades or baffles.

Installation

Isobars are designed to operate over the entire range of mold operating temperatures (33 degrees Fahrenheit - 500 degrees Fahrenheit).

Isobars are ideally applied when 50% of the overall length is cooled using a water manifold having a turbulent water flow. It is recognized that in many instances this condenser length is not appropriate, but optimal results will occur as the 50% relationship is approached.

Factory Installed Isobars

PCS Company can fabricate your core pin and have it charged directly using Isobar technology. This unique opportunity allows you to go to one source to achieve the most efficient core cooling system possible.

Factory installed Isobars allow for optimal heat transfer rates. Our copper metal process eliminates the interface between the Isobar and the core. Improved heat transfer rates up to 20% over the heat transfer compound type installed Isobar have been achieved.
