TROOPER : Negative Pressure System
4.5 FIXING PROBLEM LEAKS (MULTIPLE AND CAVITY)
A.
MULTIPLE LEAKS ON A SINGLE MOLD CIRCUIT
1.
If there are two or more leaks on one moldcircuit and they
are grouped toward one end, they should be treated as a
single large leak.
2.
However, if they are distributed almost evenly throughout
the circuit, then the flow cannot be maximized for flow
in one direction or another. See section 4.1 - How a
TROOPER works.
B.
LEAKS INTO MOLD CAVITY
1.
In a few cases, if the leak is directly into the cavity or core,
the draw of the part when the mold opens or upon ejection
CONNECTIONS FOR ADVANTAGE TROOPER UNIT
USED WITH MOLD HEATER
DO NOT RUN UNIT WITH WATER OVER 180°F
NOTES:
A.
When supply pressure is greater than 45 PSI, use regulator valve,
as noted. It must be set so that coolant pressure, downstream of
regulator, is greater than system back pressure at the return line.
B.
The purpose of the sight glass is to check for air in the return line. If
the leak is very large, the logic seal unit may not be able to expel all
the air. If this is the case an extra air vent should be placed at the
return port of the ADVANTAGE TROOPER as air returned to the
mold heater could cause pump cavitation and, possibly, damage the
heaters.
