Abstract
In this study, a heat pipe system was installed into the mold used in the polymer processing to enhance the heating and cooling rate of the mold as well as to reduce the required thermal energy for the temperature control of the mold, and the characteristics of the system were experimentally investigated. The result showed that the maximum heat flux value of 18 kW/m2 was achieved at the individual operation. By using the system, thermal energy can be transported between a pair of the molds in the sense of thermal district. The result showed that the maximum heat flux value of 8.0 kW/m2 was realized under the thermal energy exchange. And it was expected that the energy consumption to control the mold temperature would be reduced.
