Resistance Welders Are ThirstyThe Days of Plentiful, Inexpensive Water Are GoneHeat Sources of The Welding ProcessWater Storage Causes Cooling and Quality ProblemsThe Impact of Water Flow Rate on WeldingSizing Your Refrigeration CapacityWater Conservation Is KeyRoof-mounted water towers have long been the most common way to supply cooling water to spot welders, but they present a unique set of problems, including inconsistent process water temperatures due to varying ambient air temperatures. In addition, dirt and other contaminates can cause problems, such as at a Japanese-owned automotive parts manufact...See more on coolingbestpractices American Welding Society
