Cooling basins for foundries

KUKA has developed a new immersion cooling basin series for foundries as a response to increasing production requirements and energy costs. The service-proven quality of the former company Reis Robotics remains unchanged, and is refined and optimized on a continuous basis.

Immersion cooling basins: “autonomous” and “conventional”

In the “autonomous” cooling basin, thermal plates dissipate the thermal energy collected in the basin. These water-to-water heat exchangers are directly connected to the cooling circuit of the foundry and are operated without electrical connections or additional media.

If a higher cooling capacity is required, “conventional” immersion cooling basins with a separate heat exchanger can always be used.

Immersion cooling basins simplify foundry processes.

Advantages of the “autonomous” cooling basin

The “autonomous” immersion cooling basins are characterized primarily by these advantages:

Filters and circulation pumps are no longer necessary as the cooling water in the thermal plates does not come into contact with the component
Simple cleaning of the components
Ready for immediate use as pumps and actuators are not required
Automatic refilling of the immersion cooling basin by means of a mechanical float valve
Automatic temperature control by means of a thermostat valve
Stainless steel design
Optional: Pneumatic lowering stroke or cooling by means of plate heat exchanger are possible

Advantages of the “conventional” cooling basin

The “conventional” immersion cooling basin is characterized by these advantages:

Suitable for maximum cooling capacity
Automatic refilling of the basin by means of a mechanical float valve
Automatic temperature control by means of a thermostat valve
Stainless steel design
Optional: Pneumatic lowering stroke or cooling by means of plate heat exchanger are possible
