How to Maintain Laser Cutting Machine Equipment in Winter?
If you want to avoid freezing of the water cooler of the laser cutting equipment in a low temperature environment, Zhengzhou Defy reminds users to consider the following measures:
1. The most basic way to prevent icing is to keep the water-cooled machine and laser cutting machine in an environment with a temperature above 0°C. The common method is to install air-conditioning or heating facilities to keep the ambient temperature of the machine at about 10°C.
2. If the above conditions cannot be met, please keep the laser cutting machine equipment and water cooler always on. If the water in the pipeline is always flowing, it can prevent freezing. Of course, in this case, if the water cooler shuts down for a long time due to a fault or the equipment stops powering, there is also a certain risk of freezing. Generally, it is necessary to run the water chiller for 24 hours under the condition that the power will not be cut off, because the water is difficult to freeze when it is flowing.
3. If none of the above methods can be done, then you must use the trick: Add glycol antifreeze to the water tank to prevent freezing. Because the freezing point of ethylene glycol changes with the concentration of ethylene glycol in the aqueous solution, it can effectively prevent water from freezing. The ratio of adding antifreeze is 3:7 (3 is antifreeze, 7 is water). After adding antifreeze, it can resist -20℃ without freezing under normal circumstances.
It should be noted that the antifreeze is an industrial product and is toxic to the human body. Please avoid direct contact with human skin when using it! And it is forbidden to use propylene glycol-water type antifreeze!
The above content is the several measures that Zhengzhou Defy summarized for everyone. Users of laser cutting machine equipment should have a preliminary understanding of how to maintain laser equipment in winter. But we need to remind everyone that different users are located in different regions, and the equipment maintenance methods should also be changed, and cannot be generalized.
