Cooling System Modification: Extending Laser Life by Five Years

The performance of the cooling system directly affects the lifespan of the equipment.They offer a practical cooling system upgrade that improves heat dissipation efficiency and lowers operating temperatures, helping customers extend the life of their lasers by more than five years, reduce failure rates, and increase work efficiency.

Why do we want to change the cooling system?

Lasers are like "athletes under heavy loads" -they generate a lot of heat when they work for long periods.If the heat dissipation is not adequate, the internal components will age more quickly. The system's performance may decline, or it might simply stop working.Through the modification of the cooling system, not only can the equipment's "body temperature" be stabilized, but the laser can also be used for five more years.

Preparing for the renovation.

Clarify the problems of the existing system.

First, he gives the laser a physical check-up: He records the temperature fluctuations while it is working, checks the speed of the cooling fluid, and observes the amount of dust on the cooling fins.In most cases, the low efficiency of the cooling system is caused by clogged pipes or insufficient power to the water pump.

Choose the right components.

Don ’ t blindly pursue expensive components! Prioritize a variable frequency pump that matches the laser power, metal piping that is resistant to corrosion, and a heat sink with a self-cleaning function.Remember the old saying-- "the best is the enemy of the good.

Three steps to core transformation.

Optimizing the design of the cooling air channels.

The original single-sided air intake was changed to a honeycomb-like three-dimensional airway, and a silent centrifugal fan was added.Testing has shown that the cooling system can lower the temperature in the core area by 8-12 ° C, which is like having a "stealth air conditioner" for the laser.

Upgrading to intelligent temperature-control modules.

If the computer were equipped with a temperature control chip that used AI algorithms, it could automatically adjust the cooling strength according to the intensity of the work.During low-load operations in the middle of the night, power usage drops by 40 %, saving electricity and protecting equipment.

Install emergency cooling system.

In addition to the main cooling system, a backup module is fitted with a compressor.If a sudden heat wave strikes, the system can be brought into action in 10 seconds, three times faster than traditional methods.

Maintenance techniques.

Every month, he uses an air gun to clear out the dust from the heat sink, and every quarter he uses pH paper to test the acidity of the coolant.If you find that the sound of the pump has become muffled, quickly check whether air has entered.Remember: a little maintenance now will save a lot of repair costs later.

The system is now able to operate with a "steel lung," keeping the temperature in the safe zone at all times.In tests, the new design showed a 67 % reduction in light loss after 8000 hours of continuous operation.By sticking to a good routine of maintenance, you can keep your equipment in good shape for more than five years!
