Hot stamping production line is a key way to lighten the weight and improve the strength of automobile body. The mold circulation cooling system plays an important role in hot stamping production, which directly affects the performance and cooling effect of formed parts. This study aims to explore the research and application of the modification and energy-saving technology of the mold circulating cooling water system in hot stamping production line. By analyzing the design characteristics of the cooling water system, the structure is optimized to improve cooling efficiency and reduce energy consumption. An automotive parts company introduced new equipment and retrofitted the existing system to improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption. The results of the study showed that the retrofitted system increased cooling efficiency by 20%, reduced energy consumption by 15%, and achieved a significant improvement in the performance uniformity of formed parts. In addition, automatic switching between steel and aluminum plates further reduced production costs. The study shows that optimizing the cooling water system structure and applying energy- saving technologies are crucial for improving productivity, reducing energy consumption and achieving green production.
