Abstract
The disclosed technology may include a waste energy harvesting system for recapturing and converting excess heat from the manufacturing process, such as a molding process, to electricity. The recaptured energy may replace or supplement existing cooling equipment and reduce overall energy consumption for the molding process. The disclosed technology may include an augmentation device for heating a portion of a manufacturing machine, such as a barrel of an injection molding machine, while also generating a cold exterior surface temperature used to cool a portion of the machine. This may reduce the amount of time required to warm the material inside the barrel of the molding machine and/or cool the mold after it is injected with hot material from the barrel.
