Abstract: There is disclosed a system for controlling the cooling of the molds in a glass forming machine which involves compensating the pressure set point for the control of the cooling air to correct for changes in the temperature of the cooling air and changes in the mass flow rate of the glass. During maximum and minimum flow conditions for the cooling air the heat transfer equilibrium between the coolant and the parisons being cooled is modified as by modifying the set points of the temperature controllers on the feeder supplying the forming machine or alternatively by changing the speed of the forming machine so that the parisons tend to stay at the desired temperature with the limited range of coolant supply.
