Cooling panels, jackets, staves and water-cooled copper parts should be specified as pressure-carrying thermal components, not as simple machined copper plates.
Design Information
The drawing should clearly define the water circuit and equipment interface.
- Identify inlet, outlet, channel direction, wall thickness and connection standards.
- Provide mounting holes, sealing faces, weld details and lifting points.
- State working pressure, test pressure, cooling-water condition and operating temperature.
Manufacturing Review
The route depends on size, geometry and internal-channel design.
- Confirm whether the component is cast, machined, welded, forged or assembled from multiple parts.
- Review material compatibility across copper and steel interfaces.
- Control distortion and cleanliness before closing internal channels.
Acceptance and Delivery
Functional verification and protection should be agreed before production.
- Define pressure, leak, PT, dimensional and visual inspection as required.
- Request traceable reports linked to the component identification.
- Protect connections, sealing faces and channel cleanliness during export packing.
