Water Chillers - The Importance of Proper Water Cooling

For jobs requiring high deposition or extended periods of arc time, D/F recommends that a quality water chiller be implemented in a water-cooled welding operation. Cooling capacity and flow rate are crucial for proper cooling, and will prolong the life of the welding equipment, gas nozzle, and current tip. Very often we run into Miller Coolmates and Lincoln Electric Cool Arcs, and these units do not have the capacity for production environments when welding aluminum, using large diameter wires, in flux cored applications, in pulse applications, making long welds, and with long duty cycles. A good chiller on a heavy duty water-cooled torch will reduce downtime and consumable costs.

If you have any questions about proper cooling for water-cooled torches, please do not hesitate to contact the factory.
