Water cooler for CO2 laser sources.
CO2 laser tubes can be air or water cooled. Cooling is usually necessary to ensure the functionality of the laser source, to avoid large changes in laser performance, and at the same time to extend the lifetime of the laser source.
Why is water cooling necessary?
With water cooling using a water cooler (“heat exchanger”), the laser system is independent of the ambient temperature. Especially in countries with hot climates or difficult climates, water cooling can extend the life of the laser source and guarantee constant laser performance. Water cooling is a requirement for powerful CO2 lasers above 120 W. We recommend using water cooling even if the laser device is mainly intended for cutting.
