Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a method of controlling the cooling of the inner surfaces of the molds (8-8) used for the pressure-casting of metals, wherein, after the removal of a casting and the cleaning of said surfaces, the step of detecting the temperatures of said inner surfaces, is followed by a cooling step carried out by means of water sprays (4), each one of which cools a portion of said surfaces, so that at a given moment, after the said second step having been carried out, the entire surface is at the same optimum temperature to permit the coating or lining thereof, the amount of water to be sprayed being established automatically by a central electronic unit (7).
