Stan,

One of the more important aspects of running water cooled is the length
of the water supply hose and return water lines in your re circulating
system. In order to insure that the high voltage never makes it's down
the water lines, "grounded" stainless steel barb fittings should be used
as a safety precaution in the event the water becomes more conductive.
Keep the water clean at all times. Use a micron filter to keep metal and
particulates out of the system.

Good luck!

Chris

Hello gang.
  I have a chance to buy a water cooled amplifier using a single
3CW5000A7
Eimac tube. I am told by Eimac that this tube is electrically the same
as
the popular 3CX3000A7. Here is my problem....I can get NO info on "how"
to
cool the tube. I have been looking into stainless steel heat exchangers,
fish tank" water pumps,water chillers,etc. I would like to hear from
anyone
who has ever built a cooling system,ran one,etc. From Eimac I was told
the
tube needs 7.7gpm to run at the rated dissapation (will never run even
close
to that). Most water chillers I see (small ones) only flow about 2-4gpm.
And
they are EXPENSIVE. So.....can anyone help out??
 
Thanks for your time,Stan
