    Read this manual carefully before operation to prevent damage of the machine or personal injuries. STM-W series water heater are used to heat up the mould and maintain temperature, although they can be used in other similar applications. High temperature water from the mould is returned to the cooling tank and cooled by either indirect cooling (For high temperature models) or direct cooling (for standard models).

    Structure Characteristics and Working Principle 2.1 Main Functions The STM-W series of standard water heater are used to heat up the mould and maintain this temperature. Besides, they can also be used in other similar applications. High temperature water from the mould is cooled by direct cooling and then sent to the pipe heater via high-pressure pump for heating to a constant temperature.
