<article data-uid="Equipment/Coolant">
|
||
<h1 id="coolant">Coolant</h1>
|
||
|
||
<p>Two thermal settings sit beside each other in the equipment tree: how the cutting zone is cooled,
|
||
and how warm the shop is around it. Both feed the milling-temperature model, so they move computed
|
||
temperatures and everything downstream of them — and setting them needs no heat-transfer numbers at
|
||
all, because the cooling types ship as ready-made files.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="where-it-is">Where it is</h2>
|
||
<p>The General Setup page, at <code>/general-setup</code>, reached from the menu bar's <strong>Page</strong> dropdown.
|
||
<strong>Ambient Temperature</strong> (<code>/general-setup?tree=equipment/background/environment-temperature</code>) and
|
||
<strong>Coolant</strong> (<code>/general-setup?tree=equipment/background/coolant</code>) are the two leaves of the Control
|
||
Tree's <strong>Environment</strong> root, between Spindle Capability and Controller (the ids keep the legacy
|
||
<code>background</code> spelling). Both are inert until a project is
|
||
open: the fields are disabled and the panel says so.</p>
|
||
<p>The <strong>Coolant</strong> leaf selected on a demo project. The panel under the tree opens with the file row —
|
||
the <strong>Select</strong> dropdown, the path field reading <em>No coolant file (saved inline)</em>, and <strong>Save As…</strong>
|
||
— then the read-only <strong>Name</strong> and <strong>Note</strong> of whatever file is loaded, and then the condition's own
|
||
values. Neither leaf puts anything in the middle column.</p>
|
||
<p><img src="coolant-img/coolant-leaf.en.png" alt="The Coolant leaf of the Control Tree selected on the General Setup page, its panel showing the Select dropdown and empty file path above read-only Name and Note fields, then a Coolant Temperature of 25 °C and a Flood Convection Coefficient of 1000 W/(m²·K) with the app's own guidance underneath it"></p>
|
||
<h2 id="pick-a-cooling-type">Pick a cooling type</h2>
|
||
<p>The three standard cooling types ship as ready-made <code>.CoolantHeatCondition</code> files, so picking one
|
||
<em>is</em> the cooling-type selection — exactly the way a workpiece material file is picked.</p>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Select the <strong>Coolant</strong> leaf.</li>
|
||
<li>Open the <strong>Select</strong> dropdown at the left of the file row and choose <strong>Browse Resource…</strong>. It
|
||
opens the file picker in the shipped library's own coolant folder, so the three files below are
|
||
what it lists. <strong>Browse…</strong> above it opens the same picker without that jump, which is how a
|
||
condition you saved yourself is reached.</li>
|
||
<li>Pick the file that matches the machine.</li>
|
||
</ol>

|
||
<p>Loading a file fills the read-only <strong>Name</strong> and <strong>Note</strong> and every value below them, and reports the
|
||
name it loaded.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>A project nobody has touched here is not neutral.</strong> Every project carries a coolant condition from
|
||
the moment it exists, and it starts on the water-soluble numbers — 25 °C, a flood baseline of
|
||
1000 W/(m²·K), a mist ratio of 0.5 and 50 W/(m²·K) with the coolant off. The read-only <strong>Name</strong> is
|
||
blank, because no file has been picked, and that blank is the only sign that nobody chose these
|
||
values. A dry-cutting machine left alone therefore simulates as though it were flooded with
|
||
water-soluble coolant, and its computed temperatures come out low.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="the-four-values">The four values</h2>
|
||
<p>They are visible whether or not a file is loaded, and editing one tunes <em>this project's</em> copy rather
|
||
than the file it came from. Each carries the app's own working range as a hint:</p>

|
||
<p>Negative temperatures are accepted, for cryogenic coolant; the three convection coefficients cannot
|
||
go below zero.</p>
|
||
<p>Which of the three coefficients is in force at any moment is not decided here — the NC program's own
|
||
M07 / M08 / M09 decide it, step by step. That, and what the numbers do to the simulation, are
|
||
<a class="xref" href="../../technique/milling-physics/coolant-model.html">Coolant Model</a>.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="keeping-a-tuned-condition">Keeping a tuned condition</h2>
|
||
<p><strong>Save As…</strong> writes the current values out as a <code>.CoolantHeatCondition</code> file in the project folder
|
||
and starts tracking it, so the project saves a reference to the file instead of a copy of the
|
||
values. It offers a name taken from the loaded condition; a file picked from the shipped library
|
||
loses its <code>.default</code> marker on the way, because that marker means <em>shipped</em> and a file you saved is
|
||
yours.</p>
|
||
<p>The result is loadable into the next project through the same <strong>Select</strong> dropdown — which is the
|
||
point of saving one: a shop with its own measured coolant performance describes it once.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="ambient-temperature">Ambient temperature</h2>
|
||
<p>The <strong>Ambient Temperature</strong> leaf carries a single field of the same name, in °C: the shop-floor ambient
|
||
temperature — the temperature the workpiece, the cutter, the chips and the spindle start at, and the
|
||
one the spindle cools toward. The cutting zone itself convects to the <strong>Coolant</strong> leaf's coolant
|
||
temperature, not to this one. It defaults to 25 °C, it belongs to the project exactly as the coolant
|
||
condition does, and it is read by the same milling-temperature model and by the feed optimizer, so
|
||
it is not a display setting.</p>
|
||
<p>Set it to the shop's real ambient temperature. There is no file to load and nothing else to
|
||
configure: one number, applied to the whole project.</p>
