waxdragon Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Anyone out there knowledgable in thermodynamics? I am building a large scale melter with a water jacket. The pouring valves are gelling at the valve. Has anyone encountered this problem and been able to solve it? I have tried a passive circulation tube that has proven unsuccessful. It seems to defy physics. Please help!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misty Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I am by no means an expert, but what temperature is your melter set at. My water jacket melter has a brass valve. Maybe this conducts the heat from the melter better. I usually set mine between 180 and 200 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everito Bandito Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 What is the distance from the melter to the valve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
