PATON Cooler
GENERAL PROVISIONS
The autonomous cooling unit PATON Cooler-7/8S is designed to provide high-quality cooling and circulation of the operating fluid in a closed
system when working with welding devices.
Autonomous Cooling Units are used when welding at high currents (>300A) and they are an integral part of welding equipment (tungsten arc
inert gas welding machines, semi-automatic welding machines, air plasma cutting units, etc.). In the welding torch, the handle cavity and the
torch or plasmatron head can be cooled, as well as, depending on the design, the power cable. If the autonomous cooling unit is operated
with water, then the ambient temperature should be in the range from +2

C to + 40

C.
The use of water is extremely undesirable, since the salts contained in it, precipitating on the walls, form a salt layer. The salt layer, as a heat
insulator, impairs cooling and, increasing with time, reduces the cross section of the fluid passage, which can damage the torch or the
plasmatron. There is a special liquid for cooling welding equipment of the BTC-15 or BTC-50 brand, produced by the German company
ABICOR BINZEL, with high heat dissipation and lubricating properties for block pumps. The cooling agent BTC-15 (BTC-50) blocks the
formation of electrolyte deposit (on the walls of the cooling unit, inlet and outlet tubes and internal cavities of the torches) and it can be used
in various conditions.
1 – Coolant filler neck;
2 – The on / off button with indication of the included state (form and color decorative);
3 – Fuse (5A);
4 – Connector for signaling to the device;
5 – Connector for connecting the control buttons on the burner;
