In a previous session I examined the performance of the CW5200 industrial chiller that is widely accepted as a laser industry standard solution for cooling tubes of more than 100 watts. I proved that changhing the selected water temperature makes a HUGE difference to the cooling performance of the unit.
This session aims to disprove the many fantasies about what MIGHT happen if you raise or lower the temperature setting from the recommended 20 degrees C.. Will the tube grow or shrink thus affecting the power output? Will the glass crack because of thermal stresses? Is the tube manufacture's flow rate credible? Is the pink ionized beam over 1000 degres C? Will the intenal mirrors become unglued and fall off by running at high temperatures? Etc. etc.
It's amazing the myths that eminate from one simple manufacturer's temperature recomendation. What evidence did he gather to support this recomendation?
