Abstract

In a method for the internal cooling of a rotating object ( ), liquid gas from at least one inlet channel ( ) in a fixed object ( ) is pressed into a ring-shaped groove ( ) located between the fixed object ( ) and the rotating object ( ). From the ring-shaped groove ( ) the liquid gas is pressed into at least one channel ( ) in the rotating object ( ) and brought to a part to be cooled ( ). The liquid gas, upon contact with the part, evaporates and expands while absorbing heat, thereby cooling the part. The area surrounding the part to be cooled ( ) may be designed as an expansion chamber ( ). The method can be used to cool molded parts in injection molding machines with rotating molds ( ), thereby achieving shorter cycle times.
