Option B -  Chills over the Center Sections

In Option B, the chills are positioned over the flat plate sections between the risers and the ribs.

These chill locations are well designed.

  • The solidification will be quickly initiated in the thinner center sections of the top plate.
  • The risers will feed easily and effectively into the top plate sections.
  • Solidification shrinkage will be captured in the risers producing a sound top plate.
Option B is the best chill location design.
