  1. Laser Source Temperature Regulation: The 1.5kW pulsed fiber laser emits extremely high-energy pulses, each producing intense localized heat inside the laser’s doped fiber core and diode pump modules. A closed-loop water-cooling system circulates deionized water around these components to absorb and transfer excess heat. By maintaining optimal diode temperature, water cooling prevents overheating, wavelength drift, and energy fluctuation that could affect cleaning quality or damage the laser source.
  2. Optical System and Scanning Head Protection: At 1.5kW output, the optical pathway—including the galvanometer scanning head, lenses, and mirrors—is exposed to high thermal stress. The water-cooling system ensures these components remain stable, preventing lens distortion and coating damage caused by sustained exposure to heat. Consistent cooling allows the beam to remain precisely focused, ensuring even cleaning results across large or complex surfaces.
  3. Electronic and Power Module Stability: The power supply and pulse control circuits in 1.5kW pulsed laser cleaning systems handle high electrical loads to generate and modulate the laser pulses. These components also generate heat during operation. Water cooling helps maintain consistent temperatures in the electronic control boards and pulse drivers, ensuring smooth operation, accurate pulse timing, and electrical safety.
  4. Why Water Cooling Is Necessary
  • High Heat Dissipation Efficiency: Water has a far greater capacity for heat absorption and transfer than air, allowing it to cool large, high-energy components quickly and evenly.
