Thermal Pins Installation Kits

Installation Kits

The KOOL-FLOW KIT contains a high conductivity metal which allows for soldering in the THERMAL PIN heat conductor (TPhc) at a low temperature.

ADVANTAGES: It gives the best possible thermal joint for fast heat transfer and, therefore, the fastest and most even cooling.
THERMAL RESISTANCE: .633°C in/w.
REMOVAL: You can easily remove the TPhc by desoldering it slowly.

The Noren Thermal Paste Kit contains a silver or copper metal-loaded thermal compound.

ADVANTAGES: The thermal joint to the TPhc is good if it is properly installed. You can remove the TPhc quickly and easily.
THERMAL RESISTANCE: 33°C in /w.

REMOVAL: Remove the TPhc by pulling it out.

For comparison, the resistance of silicon (thermal grease) is 54(°C)/w. For this reason, we do not recommend it for installation. Both of the kits mentioned above require a hole drilled .005" to .020" oversized, depending on the method of installation. Detailed instructions for installation and removal come with the installation kits.

DIE CASTING APPLICATIONS require that the TPhc be ream-fitted into the hole where it's installed. The ream fit alone gives you the thermal conductivity you need since the copper shell of the TPhc expands faster than the mold. Drill for a ream fit after you have received and sized the TPhc's.

FACTORY INSTALLATION is available. The cores you send should be drilled out and ready for installation. Call us before making any modifications to your cores.

CONVERT YOUR CORES TO THERMAL PIN cores. Noren Products can fill your cores with the working fluid used in TPhc's. This process is particularly beneficial in cooling cores that are too small for TPhc installation or which have an odd-size hole. Please contact us for instructions on preparing your cores for filling.

THERMAL PIN heat conductor TYPES AVAILABLE

PLEASE CONTACT OUR ENGINEER STAFF WITH REGARDS TO SPECIAL DESIGNS

The standard TPhc can be easily installed in round holes, in cores or cavities. Stock diameters begin at 5/64 inch. Lengths vary from 1 1/2 inches to 18 inches. Any special lengths can be ordered.

The standard TPhc

The HOLLOW TPhc

The HOLLOW TPhc should be installed where access through the core or a mold in blow molding applications or for venting cores. Ejector pins and control rods can easily fit through the i.d. This type is available in sizes from 1/4 through 3/4 inch o.d. and is made to order. Call our sales office for literature on applications.

The STEPPED TPhc will fit into cores with small diameter tips. It provides a higher heat transfer capacity than the STANDARD THERMAL PIN heat conductor because of its large protrusion into the coolant channel. Call our sales office for a size list.

STEPPED TPhc

	The BAFFLED TPhc has an integral water baffle on it which makes it ideal for retrofitting into cores. The baffle greatly enhances heat transfer and allows more freedom in the design of water passages.
The FINNED TPhc has an integral cooling fin stack designed for either water or air cooling. It is ideal for retrofitting and slides. Both round and square fins are available.
	The MINI-FLAT TPhc is a thin but wide THERMAL PIN heat conductor designed to cool areas not accessible to the round THERMAL PIN heat conductor, such as thin ribs. Many sizes are available from .080 inch through 3/8 inch thick and from 1/4 to 3/4 inch wide.
