Tig cooler

[campero2000]

Finally I have finished my water cooler torch, after many tests the procon pump is the way to go. The reservoir is a bit little (3 ltrs) so we will check if it's enough with the radiator. The housing it's from a water purificator, there is a relay controlled by the gas solenoid in the welder ....i think it will be enough, if not I will put a delay relay.

I hope you enjoy........

Nice job, I built one a while ago, and found the pump to be the key to the whole thing.

If I may suggest, you might like to fit a pressure gauge in line, so you know the thing is moving water, it's a royal pain when your torch blows up. (don't ask how I know)

I'm looking for a flow switch, proteus brand, for putting an alarm when there is no flow, pressure gauge it's not useful if you don't look at or you can have pressure but no flow!! I've been using the torch without connecting water pipes, without connecting the cooler to the solenoid to activate the pump.....The cooler it's another thing you have to think at before welding.

How did you blown the torch...how many amps and how long without cooling?

Thanks

Even better idea.

I can't remember what amp or for how long it was a few yrs ago now. sorry
