is it going to run off a 13 amp plug or off the aux on my welder??
That's quality. You done well there mate.Richard, It works with the long torch
Plug in the wall.is it going to run off a 13 amp plug or off the aux on my welder??
Maybe even hacksaw and glue gun job and modify the bottle to fit?maybe even abandon that particular bottle if it comes to itI'll see what I can do. If I turn it round and bolt it to the back it will be quite tidy and out the way. I'll try different combinations and see what looks best. You are right though the more compact the better.
That's quality. You done well there mate.
My fronius is. It's a lot to do with the type of pump and vibration. To be honest a lot of these companies and fronius is no exception use pumps on the cheaper end of the scale. Yes they work but they rattle and row. I helped mine out by taking off the covers and cable tieing things up tight to limit vibration. American brand coolers are probably the best as they seem to always have rotory vane pumps and motors like procon and rotoflow. These run very quiet. Whip off the covers and see if you can reduce any vibration.
Oh the good thing is I've had 2 fronius coolers. And they both made a racket so it must be normal. I wouldn't worry about it. If it's annoying just use it for those 150amp plus jobs and use gas cooled for others.
Cheers mate. Still a couple finishing touches to do. I'm cutting a hole in the top for filling and one on the side to check level and vents in back for fan then I'm going to fit a nice seal around the holes purely to look nice. Waiting for the seal to turn up now. More pics when finished to come.Well done that Man " that's a cracking job !
It was getting warm but now the heat is more contained there are 3 main points the air can get in for the fan but that little fan is cooling the motor and the rad and it's just not enough in my opinion. In fairness the water got to about 10-15 degrees which would not cause a issue and work just fine but for peace of mind id rather fit another fan blowing directly on the side of the motor to cool it further and keep it happy.Was the pump not getting warm with the lid on?
Does the motor draw in and expel air to cool?or is it completely sealed?
How much would you like for it. The max dimensions I can allow for are 120mm square and 30mm thick. It must be 240v also so I can wire it straight into the sealed box on the outside. I don't want any wiring done in the unit itself. I don't mind waiting there is no rush to get it finished I just won't let it go till I'm 100% it's fit for purpose. Cheers for that WMJ.That should work.
i was thinking of ducting to and from the motor to help it cool itself.would be cheap,easy but you wouldnt know if its enough.
i have a spare lincoln fan here but twould take a week to get to you
