Laser application heat exchangers
In order to maintain a consistent temperature, most laser machine applications in the medical, aesthetic, dentistry, cutting, and welding areas require heat removal. This is done to control the temperature of the laser diode or, in the case of cosmetic applications like hair removal, the temperature of the IPL lamp.
These laser systems have a water-to-air cooling system for this purpose, with the core of such a system being a tube fin heat exchanger for laser applications.
Because most laser systems are cooled with deionized water, a specific heat exchanger that is resistant to deionized water, which is corrosive, must be employed.
To create a heat exchanger that is resistant to deionized water, L316 stainless steel pipes must be used.
The first step in selecting the correct heat exchanger is to characterize the pipes. The intended throughput and the amount of air that can be used, as well as the water temperature going in and out and the degree of heat that needs to be evacuated, must all be considered.
A heat exchanger for deionized water is more difficult to plan and manufacture than a standard heat exchanger, and this applies to both planning and manufacturing.
It is possible to characterize either a catalog model or a custom produced heat exchanger for deionized water.
Vrcoolertech specializes in characterizing, planning, and producing stainless steel pipe heat exchangers that can remove heat from laser systems using deionized water.
