Applications for cooling
Explore tailored plastic solutions designed for cooling systems within turbine, industrial and fluid-handling sectors. Our offerings combine chemical resistance, vibration tolerance and precision manufacturing to ensure reliable performance in demanding temperature and pressure environments.
From cable management and interior platforms to protective linings and structural components, our tailor-made solutions help optimize tower performance and support sustainable energy generation for decades to come.
Low pressure manifold
Manifolds are traditionally made by a block of steel or aluminum, but blocks in technical plastics are a cost-effective choice for low pressure applications below temperatures of around 50°C as it is both much faster to produce and the material is lower cost. In a wind turbine, a manifold may be used for lubricant or coolant.
Customer
requirements:
- Can withstand oil or coolant
- Strong
- Resistant to pressure
- Material is able to get threaded or get steel inserts
Our material recommendation:
- POM-C
- PEHD
- PA (Nylon)
Our production recommendation
- CNC milling
- Injection moulding
Pipe holder
Pipes in the turbine can have many different sizes and material types both soft and hard materials. Pipe holders have the basic function to hold the pipes to correct place and protect against wear from vibration.
There are a lot of standard products but sometime a custom-made piece makes sense when adding assembly and service to the calculation.
Customer
requirements:
- Service at temperatures -20°C to 80°C
- Can handle a lot of vibration.
- Low wear on pipe material
- Low cost
Our material recommendation:
- PEHD
- PA (Nylon)
- POM-C
Our production recommendation
- CNC milling
- Injection moulding
Tanks for coolant
Wind turbines uses a lot of small and big tanks for holding coolant and oil. The tanks are also used to catch oil when draining parts for service or in case of non-control discharge of liquids like oil and cooling liquids. For
this purpose, plastic is a good material choice and it is easy to manufacture tanks for tight spaces where a square box does not fit.
Customer
requirements:
- Service at -20°C to 50°C
- Can handle a lot of vibration.
- Can withstand oil or coolant
Our material recommendation:
- PELD
- PP-C
Our manufacturing method recommendation
- Rotational moulding
- Twin sheet thermoforming
