    Part Cooling

    that is the type of cooling system that the fluid would go through (car radiator type) if we cooled the parts with fluid. the application engineer from the company that would supply the cooling system told me that the tank would have to hold around 800 gallons to efficently cool the parts. I...

    thank you for pointing that out. I was told that this is a relationship you use to select the appropriate tank size for the cooling system.

    Part Cooling

    I believe the 56000 BTU was figured if we were removing the heat from water. I was previously trying to see if we could run the parts thru a tank of water and cool the fluid during the process. I was told that you need one gallon of fluid per pound of material going thru the system in one...

    Part Cooling

    no this is not the same problem. it's pretty close in difficulty but this is for a different application.

    Part Cooling

    no, i don't believe anyone makes springs completely out of air.

    Part Cooling

    i just need to approximate this and it would be ok to overshoot the actual CFM needed. MintJulep - would the "temp rise of the air" be the temp reduction i am trying to acheive? 552 F - 105 F = 447 F

    would you happen to know the equation for removing kw or btu determining on the air flow?

    Part Cooling

    the parts need to drop from 552 F to 105 F. the parts are springs 1.5" OD, 1/4" wire diameter, 6-1/2" long, 10 spirals in the 6-1/2". each part weighs 11.3 oz.

    Part Cooling

    I am working on a project were I have to get rid of 56000 BTUs in one hour. This is a process on a conveyor. There are 800# of parts passing through in one hour. I'm not sure what temperature drop the BTUs were figured out at, but I have to drop the temperature using air knives. Does anyone...

    shearing copper sheet

    Thanks i'll give the snips a try. I was told by Cincinnati that the hold downs on the shear might leave an imprint on the sheet. Regards, Simon

    shearing copper sheet

    i am planning on ordering a 1/2 hard 110 copper .025" thick sheet (20" x 25"). i need to sheer (6) pieces that are 3-1/2" x 6" rectangles. i have never worked with copper before and i don't know if i'm going to run into problems with the edges after i shear the pieces because i will not have...

    Part Drying

    unfortunatly we do not have the option to dump the springs. i have already brought it up. good idea though. i just received updated information about the process it turns out that when the buckets are in the bath they are moving at a speed of 4 fpm. 16 inches or 20 seconds apart. when we...

    How To Model Coiled Spring

    your going to have to draw a circle, this will be the ID or OD of the spring. insert > curve > helix/spiral then draw another circle at the beginning of the helix and make a sweep boss/base. this circle will be the wire diameter. you can now add the hooks of the springs and whatever else. you...

    Part Drying

    we cannot change the bucket. the bucket is part of the entire process and we have to work around it. i have already tried to convince everyone to change the bucket. it's a loosing battle.

    Part Drying

    it's funny that you should say that. i spent two weeks designing and implementing a piping assembly to do just that. i used 4 super air nozzles and 1 super air amplifier that produced 116 cfm at 80 psi to blow off some of the water but it turned out that the bucket is too hard to get through...

    Part Drying

    I am currently working on a project where I have to dry parts in a certain amount of time. Currently there are a continuous line of stainless steel fine mesh buckets filled with stainless steel parts being conveyed through a bath of water. The parts and bucket will be around 175 degrees F when...
