More Information
Summary:A cooling system (44) connected to provide coolant to a welding-type component (32) automatically circulates coolant through the welding component (32) upon activation of the welding component (32). A controller (50) is configured to regulate the cooling system (44) such that upon activation of the welding-type component (32) coolant is caused to at least flow through the welding-type component (32) and circulate after deactivation of the welding torch (32) until a temperature (54) of the coolant falls below a certain value or a specified time period has expired.
