First, raising of the temperature and pressure takes place. Then by means of cooling and air releasing the process is completed. In order to shorten the autoclave cycle time, the elements and operating parameters causing the variability in the autoclave cycle times has been analyzed according to the heat transfer laws. Design changes based on mentioned scientific analysis were evaluated as comparison. The best design was manufactured and implemented. The operating parameters of the autoclave were monitored both before and after the implementation of design changes. The implemented theoretical and practical study prove that decreasing the cooling time of autoclave 20% without loss of product quality is possible and can be repeated.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessLaminated Auto GlassAutoclave CycleHeat ExchangerLamination ProcessArticle3026976Q4WOS:000284139100007
