Most laser machine applications in the medical, aesthetic, dental, cutting and welding fields require heat removal in order to maintain a stable temperature. This is done in order to regulate the temperature of the laser diode, or in the case of aesthetic applications such as hair removal – the temperature of the IPL lamp.
For this purpose, these types of laser systems have a water-to-air cooling system, and the core of such system is a tube fin heat exchanger for laser applications.
As most laser systems are cooled with deionized water, a special heat exchanger that is resistant to deionized water must be used, as such water is corrosive.
In order to produce a heat exchanger resistant to deionized water, it has to be made of L316 stainless steel pipes.
Characterizing the pipes is only the first step of selecting the right heat exchanger. One must take into account the desired throughput and the amount of air that can be used, and of course the water temperature going in and out and the degree of heat that needs to be removed.
Planning and manufacturing a heat exchanger for deionized water is more challenging than an ordinary heat exchanger, and this applies to both planning and manufacturing.
It is possible to characterize a catalog model heat exchanger for deionized water, or to characterize a custom made one.
We at Vrcoolertech CST specialize in characterizing, planning and manufacturing heat exchangers made of stainless steel pipes that can remove heat in laser systems using deionized water.
