Water-based <strong>Cooling</strong> System<br />
• Cons<br />
• Fluid leaks can cause serious damage and failure of equipment.<br />
• Water can be corrosive and has potential for biological contamination.<br />
• High flow rates require large pumps, power supply, pipe diameters and reservoir.<br />
• Protection required as a pressurized system.<br />
• If operated in series there is thermal stacking.<br />
• Potential for condensation.<br />
• Ethylene glycol is not environmentally friendly.<br />
