Dimensions

General Description SMARTFLOW ® DUOFLOW™ Manifolds are robust extruded aluminum manifolds similar to the original Smartflow one-piece design. The manifolds are divided internally and anodized with one red end and one blue end to denote supply and return in a single manifold. The Duoflow design provides a shorter footprint specifically for mounting directly to an injection mold, or where space is limited. Port spacing is narrow for installation of hose barbs or quick disconnect fittings only. Ball valves are not recommended.

on e available r a ls ia c e Sp request!

Tool change time is significantly decreased by mounting manifolds directly to molds in storage. Water hookup is simplified to “Supply” and “Return” lines versus individual water lines for every circuit.

Features and Benefits ◆ Versatile Mounting due to Smaller Size ◆ Mold-Mount to Speed Mold Change Times ◆ Economical, Proven Design for Reliability

ScienTiFic cOOLing SM and DeLTA-Q

cientific Molding seeks to optimize molding efficiency by measuring and recording process parameters to the greatest extent possible, providing an effective means of easily repeating a successful molding setup, in any molding machine. Mold cooling, estimated to be about 80% of the molding cycle, is a key element. Scientific CoolingSM is a training regimen developed by the engineers at Burger & Brown Engineering for Smartflow™ products. Scientific Cooling applies techniques from Scientific Molding: measure, record, adjust and repeat. The Turbulent Flow teaching of Scientific Cooling requires the right tools to control and quantify cooling parameters. Smartflow’s (patent pending) Delta-Q™ flow regulator is the foundation of our modular system for Scientific Cooling because it controls and changes flow rate. Delta-Q is designed to mate with our Icecube™, Dr. Eddy®, or Tracer® flow meters to provide a range of options for Scientific Cooling measurement and adjustment. Measurement options using Delta-Q as your platform for Scientific Cooling: With an Icecube™ Flowmeter

Attach Delta-Q to a basic mechanical Icecube Flowmeter for economical flexibility of application. The modular design allows the addition of individual measurement components: temperature gauge, pressure gauge, or liquid-filled pressure gauge. Quick disconnect fittings can also be added to create a portable troubleshooting tool to be kept in a toolbox or mold tryout station. In addition to the parameter measurements, Delta-Q allows technical molders to experiment with different flow rates while the meter is connected, making Scientific Cooling easier. See page 4. 2

With a Dr. Eddy® Flowmeter/Turbulent Flow Indicator Attach Delta-Q to a Dr. Eddy meter to detect turbulent flow using FCI (Flow Characteristic Indication) Technology. The presence of turbulent flow indicates that the most efficient cooling is present. The swirling and mixing of the water inside cooling passages creates the greatest heat transfer from the mold to the cooling medium. When attached to a Dr. Eddy, the Delta-Q becomes a valuable capacity conservation tool. Conserving cooling water at each cooling supply line preserves water capacity in other locations in the shop. Downstream presses can have greater cooling water volume available when upstream cooling line efficiency is maximized. See page 5. With a Tracer® Electronic Flowmeter Attach Delta-Q to a Tracer Electronic Flowmeter for greater accuracy and access to FCI Technology™. Tracer flowmeters have ±5% accuracy and optional NIST traceable calibration. Turbulent flow indication is standard on all Tracer Flowmeters. A Switching Tracer flowmeter facilitates record-keeping when attached to a PLC or other data collection system. Record-keeping is an important step in Scientific Cooling. A Switching Tracer attached to a Delta-Q is the ultimate tool for Scientific Cooling. See page 6. On a Smartflow Manifold Attach an array of Delta-Q modular flow regulators and meters to a Smartflow Manifold and you have economical fingertip control of an entire mold half without moving individual flowmeters from circuit to circuit. Smartflow manifolds save time in mold setups and help molders start making accurate parts quickly. See page 7.

General Description

Turbulent Flow

Smartflow® mechanical flowmeters are durable, vaneoperated devices that provide visual indication of flow rate in many different styles and sizes. Rugged wetted parts are compatible with many process liquids.

Injection molders know that a certain rate of flow is needed to achieve turbulent flow in cooling lines. This concept applies to most cooling applications using a water-based coolant mixture*. This chart is provided for reference only.

Optional temperature and pressure gauges add functionality and flexibility to Smartflow® flowmeters. Brass quick-connect fittings are available on the smaller flowmeters to create an excellent, portable tool for determining flow and locating clogged lines.

Features and Benefits

u Compact size works well in restricted-space locations.

u Rugged construction gives years of dependable service.

u Variety of inlet sizes provides exactly the right connection. u 210°F (99°C) Temperature Rating allows installation into a

wide range of applications.

u Optional Temperature and Pressure Gauges give instant

access to pressure and temperature information in addition to flow in one unit. u Common Flowmeter Configurations Stocked to provide same-day delivery in most cases. u No Mounting Restrictions ease installation in any position without extra brackets or hardware.

SWAP ® VALVE

Compressed Air Cooling Water Purge U.S. Patent No. 6,471,503

Application The SWAP® Valve is well-suited for cooling water Supply lines up to 2-inch NPT on frequently 3 1 changed 1 injection molding tools. It is permissible to adapt ⁄4, 1 ⁄4, and 1 ⁄2-inch line sizes providing adequate cooling water flow can be achieved. Typical mounting is on the press frame or the safety door frame. Mounting on any suitable surface, such as a platen, mold or manifold stand is acceptable.

Operation

Two-inch SPV16-A-A

One-inch SPV8-A-A

General Description

The Smartflow® SWAP® Valve supplies cooling water to the mold during processing. Secondly, it supplies air to purge the water from the mold, cooling lines, Supply and Return manifolds prior to tool change. And, it provides a manual vent to release built-up air pressure within the cooling water loop, after purging. An included check valve should be installed in the return line downstream from the Return manifold to prevent backflow to the mold. Tubing may be connected to the manual ventdrain port so any residual water after the purge cycle can be drained into a container or drain. An optional spring-loaded, locking pin is available for molders who require two-hand operation. This prevents accidental valve handle movement.

Typical Hook-Up Schematic

For Normal Processing:

Select WATER. Cooling Water is available to the Supply manifold. Purge Air is blocked.

To Evacuate Cooling Water:

Select PURGE. Purge Air is available to the Supply manifold. Cooling Water is blocked.

To Bleed-Off Trapped Pressure and Drain Residual Water:

Select VENT Press Manual Vent-Drain Valve. Purge Air is blocked. Cooling Water is blocked.

Molder Benefits u

u u

u u u

Timesaving: Saves 15-20 minutes of unproductive tool change time by eliminating the tasks of draining multiple Supply and Return hoses plus cleaning-up water spills. Tool Condition: Protects tools from corrosion build-up during downtime and storage by evacuating water quickly and thoroughly. Supply Line ID: Permits fast identification of Supply lines by noting which manifold is connected to the SWAP® Valve. Water Shut-Off: SWAP® Valve shuts-off Supply water conveniently near the machine control, rather than with conventional ball valves on the water drops/risers or Supply manifold, typically located at the opposite side of the press. Full Port Design: Permits maximum cooling water flow at minimum pressure drop. Safety-Housekeeping: Eliminates root cause of accidents around the press by keeping personnel and floors dry. Optional Positive Lock: Eliminates accidental movement of valve selector handle.

It is strongly recommended that a Dielectric Fitting (see Accessories below) is purchased for use with this valve when copper or brass piping is present in the water circulating lines. Galvanic corrosion can occur in the presence of: more noble metals electrolytic connection water treatment with copper or bleach elevated water temperatures. A dielectric fitting breaks the electrical connection between dissimilar metals helping reduce the incidence of galvanic corrosion.

Tracer Electronic Flowmeter with Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) measures liquid flow rate, temperature, calculates BTU’s per minute and incorporates a new Flow Characteristic Indicator (FCI). The highly-visible display is configured via the sealed push buttons and user-friendly menus. As a diagnostic tool, engineers and maintenance personnel can quickly spot-check temperature and flow in water lines using the LCD Tracer flowmeter. This portable LCD unit is unmatched as a troubleshooting tool. As a process control tool, the Tracer can be left in place to closely monitor more critical applications. Annual calibration is recommended for best results.

Features and Benefits

u Bi-directional flow reading makes installation simple and u u u u u

convenient. English or Metric units for flow and temperature are userselectable. Corrosion-resistant wetted parts assure long-lasting durability. Polysulfone viewing window provides visual flow indication (DD-3B & DD-3E models only). Automatic display shut-off prolongs battery life. RoHS compliant

FCI (Flow Characteristic Indicator) Turbulent Flow is the point at which cooling efficiency is optimized. Flow rates higher than the point of Turbulent Flow do not improve cooling. Using FCI, systemic cooling water flow can be optimized, conserving water and maximizing cooling plantwide without plumbing changes. “TFLOW” displays when Turbulent Flow is present within the Tracer flowmeter.
