iTherm® Chill Vent is single-body component with specially designed internal conformal cooling system. It is used for immediate freeze of molten Aluminium or Magnesium, resulting in less unplanned downtime and safer casting operation.
iTherm® Chill Vent Engine Block is produced from tool steel forged or rolled blocks using HTS propriatery additive manufacturing technology.
It is a single body component with equal mechanical properties as tool steel monoblock.
It has only two connectors for cooling medium (IN and OUT).
Cooling channels can be freely designed according to cooling/heating requirements of cast part, not by limitations of using conventional drilling method.
It is highly customizable to specific customer requirements.
In comparison with convetionally made cooper or steel vent, iTherm® Chill Vents give you extra flexibility to bring cooling channels near that critical zones.
Conventional Chill Vent
iTherm® Chill Vent
In comparison with convetionally made cooper or steel vents, iTherm® Chill Vents have large venting profile and highest cooling power that guarantee immediate freeze of molten metal, making operation safer.
In comparison with convetionally made cooper vent, iTherm® Chill Vents are more wear resistan and have longer life time. This is directly reflected in less unplanned production stopages.
High cooling power obtained by conformal-cooling circuit permits large venting profile, assisting elimination of porosity in cast part
