With the new CV Cooling Design, cunova is setting a milestone in mould technology. This innovative solution integrates a special macrostructure on the outer surface of the mould tube, which significantly improves heat transfer, especially in the upper part of the copper tube. The macrostructure creates a controlled turbulence of the cooling medium, which leads to more efficient heat transfer.
Key Advantages of the CV Cooling Mould:
- Improved heat transfer and lower heating surface temperatures
- Increased shell growth and stiffer steel shells
- Increased casting speed
- Compatibility with all mould tube sizes without design changes
Increased Casting Speed and Efficiency
Initial field trials in the USA showed an impressive 5-7% increase in casting speed without compromising billet quality. These results demonstrate the reliability and efficiency of the CV Cooling design. In Switzerland, the use of the design led to a 6.5 % increase in cooling efficiency, which was confirmed by a slightly higher delta T of 0.5 °C. Some of our customers have already completely converted to the CV Cooling Design and placed their follow-up orders.
Progress through Innovation
Possible Combinations with the WAVE® Design
The majority of trials have been combined with the WAVE® Design, further emphasising the potential of the CV Cooling Design. This combination shows promising results and confirms the benefits of improved heat transfer.
Future Developments and Optimisations
cunova will continue to optimise the CV Cooling Design and explore new combinations and applications to meet the growing demands of the industry. The continuous development aims to further increase the casting speed and maximise the efficiency of the cooling processes.
