What Is Laser Chiller? And How to Choose a Laser Chiller?

Laser chiller is common in the laser cutting industry. It is usually used to cool the laser machine whose temperature is too high due to work to ensure the normal operation and work of the cutting machine.

Although the laser chiller power is small, it is also a kind of industrial chiller. It is cost-effective, powerful, convenient to transport and move, and can be very flexible to cool the machine.

What is a laser chiller?

The laser cooler is an independent device used to remove the heat of the heating laser source. According to the needs of the cooling equipment, the laser chiller can be installed into a rack or stand-alone.

Keeping the machine in the right temperature range is very helpful in extending the life of the machine itself. Therefore, keeping the laser cool is very important, and laser chillers are also essential in the laser industry.

Pengqiang Group produces many different models of laser chillers, which are suitable for cooling all kinds of lasers, including ultraviolet lasers, fiber lasers, CO2 lasers, semiconductor lasers, ultrafast lasers, etc., to meet all your needs.

How does the laser chiller work?

The laser chiller is mainly used to cool the laser generator of the laser equipment through the water cycle. It can control the use temperature of the laser generator, so that the laser generator can work normally for a long time. This way, it is helpful to ensure productivity and improve production efficiency.

During the long-term operation of the laser equipment, the laser generator will continue to produce high temperature, and the high temperature will affect the normal operation of the laser generator. Therefore, the laser chiller is required to control the temperature of the laser production machine to ensure the normal output of the machine.

How to maintain a laser chiller?

In Summer: Adjust the working environment of the chiller to keep the optimal ambient temperature between 20℃ and 30℃.

Regularly clean the dust on the surface of the laser chiller filter and condenser with an air gun.The air outlet of the laser chiller (fan) and the debris in the factory should be kept at a distance of more than 1.5 meters. The air inlet and the debris should be kept at a distance of more than 1 meter. Such a distance is conducive for heat dissipation and better maintenance of the machine temperature.

Clean the filter regularly, as it is where the dirt and impurities accumulate the most. Replace it when it is too dirty to ensure stable water flow of the laser chiller. Replace the cooling water every 3 months, clean the impurities or residues in the pipeline, keep the water circulation system smooth, and adjust the set water temperature according to the environmental temperature and laser operation requirements.

In Winter: Please put the laser chiller in a ventilated place and remove dust regularly. Replace the circulating water every 3 months to keep the water flowing properly. If not used in winter, please drain the water in the equipment and store it properly. Cover the laser chiller with a clean plastic bag to prevent dust and moisture from entering the device. When the ambient temperature is below 0℃, antifreeze needs to be added to prevent the chiller from freezing and affecting the subsequent production work.

How to choose a right laser chiller?

First of all, according to the size and number of laser equipment to determine the power size and number of laser chiller. If you need to cool numbers of laser equipment, but the power is small, you may want to buy a number of laser chiller with small power capacity to connect each laser equipment individually. However, if the power of the laser equipment is large, you can choose the chiller which has large power capacity. It has widely choice based on what you need.
