Abstract
Systems are disclosed for providing liquid cooling of electronics of a welding-type system via pumping fluid from fluid sources available on the welding-type system through heatsinks thermally connected to the electronics. Fluid sources may include fuel for an engine of the welding-type system, hydraulic fluid, and/or lubrication oil for a rotary screw air compressor.
Claims20
An engine driven welding-type system comprising:
- an engine;
- a fuel reservoir containing fluid fuel;
- a fuel pump;
- and
- a heatsink in thermal communication with electronics of the engine driven welding-type system, wherein the fuel pump is configured to pump fluid fuel from the fuel reservoir to the heatsink via a first conduit.
