Looking for a better way to cool zones of their wheel molds with air, an automotive aluminum wheel manufacturer was using water for some of the zones and air for others in each mold. Their air cooling set up consisted of manual regulators and pressure gauges for each air zone.

Unsurprisingly, they were unable to achieve consistent cooling results. Additionally, there was no way to know if the zone had a leak or ruptured hose (air was plumbed into each zone via one inch rubber hose). Hoses would wear and leak due to heat and flexing when the mold was opened and closed.
