Tig water cooling
I suspect that all these are is a fan forced coil with a small pump to circulate water.
Would this be correct?
If so I have some small coils from scraped aircon units that may suit if some one would like to explore the possibility of making one for themselves

This Old Tony did a good video about modifying a unit he was given, which is a good guide as to how they're put together.

The one feature I wouldn't have thought of is the flow alarm, which makes sense, since if the flow stops and you don't realise, the torch could heat up and melt pretty quickly.

I made a tig cooler for my tig, holds about 10l, radiator and a thermo fan on a controler to turn on if it gets too hot.
If i was to do it again, i would make it half the size maybe even less, probably 3l to make it more portable and get a smaller radiator.
Ive never had the temp rise more then 5 degrees above ambient, even on ac.
Im even tossing up the idea of making another cooler as the pump im using is quite noisy and vibrates. (12v diaphram pump)
