Liquid-to-Air Heat Exchanger
The liquid to air heat exchanger utilizes radiator technology to transfer heat
from a liquid to surrounding air. This is a simple closed loop system — it
does not require a water supply from the user. However, this system
requires surrounding air 5 to 10°C below the maximum operating
temperature of the drive.
