CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP
LW500A/LW600A PULSED Nd:YAG LASER
990-539 2-5
Cooling Water System
The Laser uses two isolated cooling water systems:
Primary Cooling Water
External: for cooling Secondary cooling water.
Secondary Cooling Water
Internal: for cooling the flashlamps, Nd:YAG rod and electronics.
Cooling Water Block Diagram
Temperature is maintained by allowing the primary cooling water to cycle through the laser. Once the
secondary cooling water reaches a predefined high temperature set-point, the Solenoid Valve is energized
which allows the primary cooling water to flow through the Heat Exchanger. Once the secondary cooling
water reaches the low temperature set-point, the Solenoid Valve is turned off. Connect the primary cooling
water supply to the hose barbs on the rear panel of the laser.
