Cooling Techniques for a Spindle of Machine Tool

Abstract

Machine tools have imperative role in technology advances, escalating productivity and accuracy. However heat generated in machine tool results in thermal error that affects the machining precision and productivity. In machine tool the heat is generated due to internal and external heat sources. A spindle is the main internal source of heat generation. This heat can be dissipated by efficient cooling techniques. We have focused on forced cooling, conventional cooling and thermoelectric cooling techniques. This paper intended to provide investigational information about different cooling techniques for spindle of machine tool.

Performance improvement of an industrial control enclosure cooling system

“…An electronic driver unit of an HVAC system operated in a dusty environment within an enclosure was analyzed by numerical method and experimental method [14]. Furthermore, the air-towater heat exchangers operated by removing the heat from inside an enclosure using cooled water from a chiller were also investigated [15].…”
