Removing bubbles from laser tube

Laser tubes should not be operated with air trapped within cooling piping as this can cause temperature hotspots and compromise integrity of the tube.

In ideal world, stream of water would remove all the bubbles but in our reci tube there are some welding spots where water becomes turbulent and traps pretty large air bubbles. This trapped air is very hard to remove.

To remove those you can:

Wait

If you wait long enough they will disolve themselves, but it can take hours!

Tilt

You can turn off chiller and tilt entire cutter, all you need to do is get bubbles moving couple of inches away from blocking spot. Obviously this method is only feasable if you have small cutter or someone really strong  (like Vladimir Putin) in your workshop.

Pump cycle

Turn pump on and off, quite often bubbles will move slightly from the deadlock place if you turn off the pump, catch this moment and turn pump again to remove the bubbles. This is quite tricky and does not work all the time.

Turbulences in water flow

Best way we found is to cause turbulences in water flow, all what needs to be done is to pinch and release incoming [from laser tube perspective] water hose once or twice, pinch will cause pump to build up pressure and when you release that pressure is going into the tube causing strong turbulences and removing bubbles. Our CW-5200 chiller pump is connected to coolant pipes using soft silicone joints, those can be easily pinched by hand.

Be careful when pinching, start gently, turbulences and overpressure caused by this are quite strong, if we pinch ours all the way we can almost feel cutter to vibrate on release. It can damage laser tube.

Je trouve phenomenal DBosses, il propose une experience de jeu intense. Le catalogue est d’une diversite impressionnante, avec des slots modernes et immersifs. L’assistance est efficace et chaleureuse, avec une aide personnalisee. Les gains arrivent en un eclair, neanmoins des recompenses supplementaires seraient bienvenues. En fin de compte, DBosses est un choix incontournable pour les joueurs pour les fans de jeux modernes ! En plus le site est style et bien concu, amplifie le plaisir de jouer.

Ich liebe die Pracht von King Billy Casino, es verstromt eine Spielstimmung, die wie ein Palast glanzt. Der Katalog des Casinos ist eine Schatzkammer voller Spa?, mit einzigartigen Casino-Slotmaschinen. Der Casino-Service ist zuverlassig und furstlich, mit Hilfe, die wie ein Thron majestatisch ist. Auszahlungen im Casino sind schnell wie ein koniglicher Marsch, ab und zu mehr Casino-Belohnungen waren ein furstlicher Gewinn. Insgesamt ist King Billy Casino ein Muss fur Casino-Fans fur Spieler, die auf majestatische Casino-Kicks stehen! Ubrigens die Casino-Plattform hat einen Look, der wie ein Kronungsmantel glanzt, den Spielspa? im Casino auf ein konigliches Niveau hebt.

J’adore le delire total de Gamdom, on dirait une explosion de fun. Le catalogue de jeux est juste enorme, incluant des jeux de table qui en jettent. Le crew assure un suivi de malade, garantissant un support direct et carre. Les paiements sont fluides et blindes, par contre des bonus plus reguliers ce serait la classe. Dans le fond, Gamdom est un spot a ne pas louper pour les pirates des slots modernes ! En prime l’interface est fluide et stylee a mort, facilite le delire total.

Et puis la navigation est simple comme un jeu d’enfant, ajoute un max de swag.
