## Not that I know of. The 3CW20000A7 is a water cooled version of a 3x10.
The plate + grid current ratings are the same, so you cant run any more
po...
just more pd.
## water cooling has its merits, but can be a pita to implement. You
still need a
10-25 gpm pump to move the distilled water into a big rad, with a big fan.
You still have
to dump all that heat. 20 kw pd = 63,000 btu. 1 watt pd = 3.15 btu.
## in the uk ...VO stokes book, they say to avoid water cooling like the
plague.
IMO, I don’t believe it would be that difficult to implement. Its just a
simple closed loop system.
The advantages would be the external radiator + fan could be located
anywhere.... and hot air
exhausted to the outside in summer..and indoors in winter.
## vapour phase cooling or multi-phase cooling would be the real ticket.
But eimac discontinued
the smaller vapour phase cooled triodes years ago. Too bad, With vapour
phase cooling, the pump
is eliminated.
## water cooling has its advantages though...like 1000 watts per square cn
of anode area, vs just
135 watts for vapour phase cooling....... vs 50 watts for air cooled
triodes.

I know I had it book marked, but I can't find it. Seems like he was out of
California. He had breakdown testers and built really outrageous amps and
had designs and parts as well.
Thanks and 73,
Ed-kv5i
## You wanted outrageous amps, the real deal ? Here it is.
http://bear-el.com/ You can get a lot of ideas and how he did various
concepts.
Scroll down a bit for the master list.
