Enfriamiento en extrusión: cómo calcular carga térmica y capacidad
Jim Frankland | Plastics Technology México
En la extrusión de polímeros, la capacidad de enfriamiento condiciona la producción. Cuando el flujo es laminar, la transferencia de calor se limita y la línea no alcanza su potencial. El cálculo de carga térmica y el uso del número de Reynolds permiten dimensionar la enfriadora y generar turbulencia para optimizar la disipación de calor.
