Non-electric temperature-controlled basin
A non-electric temperature-controlled basin for cooling cast parts, the basin being provided with a liquid, a level sensor, a temperature sensor, and a heat exchanger; and a method for cooling the cast parts.
1. An arrangement for cooling an object, the arrangement comprising:
a basin containing a liquid, and having an inflow and an outflow;
a line conducting the liquid to the basin;
wherein the line branches into a first branch line and a second branch line;
wherein the first branch line extends to the inflow;
wherein the second branch line extends to a heat exchanger disposed in the liquid in the basin;
a float valve in the first branch line for regulating a level of the liquid in the basin;
a temperature valve in the second branch line for regulating a temperature of water supplied to the heat exchanger;
wherein the arrangement is operated without an electrical current being supplied inside the basin.
2. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the inflow is located in a bottom area of the basin.
3. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the inflow is located in an upper edge area of the basin.
4. The arrangement according to claim 1 ,
wherein the outflow is connected to an overflow line that is connected to a runoff;
wherein a line connects a head area of the heat exchanger with the runoff; and
wherein a non-return valve is arranged in the overflow line, or in the line that connects the head area of the heat exchanger with the runoff.
5. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the basin consists of galvanized steel sheeting or stainless steel sheeting.
6. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the object is a cast part.
7. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the heat exchanger is a heat exchanger plate.
8. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the float valve comprises a level sensor disposed in the liquid in the basin.
9. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the temperature valve comprises a temperature sensor disposed in the liquid in the basin.
10. A method for cooling an object, the method comprising:
providing an arrangement comprising:
a basin containing a liquid, and having an inflow and an outflow;
a line conducting the liquid to the basin;
wherein the line branches into a first branch line and a second branch line;
wherein the first branch line extends to the inflow;
wherein the second branch line extends to a heat exchanger disposed in the liquid in the basin;
a float valve in the first branch line for regulating a level of the liquid in the basin;
a temperature valve in the second branch line for regulating a temperature of water supplied to the heat exchanger;
cooling the object placed in the liquid in the basin; and
operating the arrangement without an electrical current being supplied inside the basin.
11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the object is a cast part.
12. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the heat exchanger is a heat exchanger plate.
13. The method according to claim 10 , comprising providing pressurized liquid to the basin via the inflow.
14. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the float valve comprises a level sensor disposed in the liquid in the basin.
15. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the temperature valve comprises a temperature sensor disposed in the liquid in the basin.
