I am using my laser in my garage in SC “Its hot” I have the water piped through a mini fridge. If I don’t run the fridge the water temps rises and the power of the laser drops so I need to cool the water without the condensation buildup. Would keeping a fan blowing on the laser tube keep the condensation down ?
It would help to reduce the condensation, as well it will help cool the tube.Just make sure that if you have the tube bay door open, try and protect the tube from things falling on it or bumping into it.
I have a spare room in my house thinking of moving the laser in there to get it out of the hot garage… What every ones thoughts about having it in the house. Would it be fine as long as I vent it out the window real well ?
I have mine in the house,I just vent it out the window and do not have any fume issues (You can smell it a little, but you will never get perfect extraction)
They actually make a insulation wrap that can help with some of the condensation…not sure how it would do that close to the laser… as it is a bubble wrap material… so might not be best…
I think I’m just going to move it in a spare room in the house and vent it real well.
That would be the best thing to do. Just seal up all pipe connections with the aluminum foil tape, do not use duct tape, it works on everything BUT duct work.
