It is not uncommon for molds requiring cleaning to be worth hundreds of thousands of euros. Coolingcare machines are equipped with dozens of sensors and safety algorithms that monitor the process in real time, ensuring its stability. In the event of a sudden, unexpected event, such as a leak, the computer immediately stops the cleaning process and notifies the operator.
Here is a list of all security modules installed in CA units:
| a system of sensors and algorithms to ensure stable and safe operation | pre-blowdown algorithm (ramp) - protects against sudden pressure release, the pressure builds up gradually so that we minimize the risk of damage to the baffles and other components of the cooling system |
| algorithm for verifying the correctness of readings from all pressure sensors - allows you to verify the presence of residual pressure in the system, so we eliminate the possibility of backflow of liquid into the pneumatic system when changing the position of valves | |
| the machine informs the operator of the presence of residual pressure in the system, so he can drop it manually and safely unhook the hoses | |
| Each valve has a position control sensor - thanks to this feature, the operator has no possibility of starting the machine in the wrong configuration | |
| Algorithm for identifying the problem of obstruction of the circuit if the operator misses the patency test - in a situation where the flow rate is very low during the diagnostics, the machine will inform the operator of a potential obstruction and exclude the section in automatic operation mode. If there is a duct obstruction, it should be cleaned individually in manual mode. | |
| Monitoring of cleaning fluid leakage during cleaning | An ultrasonic probe in the wash tank allows precise real-time measurement of the liquid level. The operator can define an acceptable volume drop that does not cause an alarm. It can be as low as 10 mm (equivalent to about 1 liter of liquid). If the liquid level in the tank drops by this value, the machine will automatically stop the process and send the operator an SMS message with information about a possible leak. |
| Controlling the level of solution in the tank | It can be a precision measurement (the ultrasonic probe measures the exact amount of liquid) or a float measurement, which gives an approximate estimate of the |
| Temperature control of the solution in the tank | temperature sensors (one in the heater, the other on the filter housing) |
| Inspection of damage to heating elements | The machine has protection in the form of a thermostat located on the heating element, as well as program protection, which disconnects heating if the permissible temperature is exceeded. |
| Control of faulty phase connection | the machine detects the absence of any of the phases or the wrong order of their connection, this prevents damage to the impeller pump |
| Control of the continuity of the medium flow through the heater system | The flow heating system is connected to a dedicated diaphragm pump that forces the fluid to circulate through the tank in which the heater is placed. An algorithm verifies that the heating element is fully immersed in the liquid and that the flow rate of that liquid is appropriate. |
| air system moisture sensor | if the presence of water is detected in the compressed air, the machine will block the possibility of further operation. This is to protect the machine's pneumatic system, which is the most sensitive part of the entire design. |
