One of the basic problems in the development and production process of moulds for injection moulding is the control of the temperature conditions in the mould. Nowadays, the temperature is controlled through a mould cooling system, which is composed of cooling channels, where the cooling fluid transports the needed heat to and from the mould. Such systems control the heat-exchange process throughout the entire mould, which is insufficient in many cases. For this reason it is necessary to develop a new system that will allow fast and precisely located temperature changes in defined mould locations. A precise study of the thermodynamic processes in moulds showed that heat exchange can be manipulated by thermoelectrical means.

The upgraded system comprises the temperature-detection unit, the thermo-control unit and the final controlling element (thermoelement module as a heat pump), while the stand-alone unit needs an additional heat exchanger.
