trust me, ive tried everything. here is another one for you...I have even gone as far as throwing 200 feet of garden hose in SF bay, it helps, but the inevitable will always occur....No, you are AWESOME..

he did not indicate that his "shop" was located next to SF bay either.
OP was to vague with information for ANYONE to have a good solution, too many freaking variables as usual. I'm still a bit perplexed how his shop can have 50 amps of three phase but no toilet

Don't forget, the cooling water in the sp168 laser is in direct contact with the anode. As the water becomes more ionized and resistance drops there can be problems.

one of the few threads i'm not going to ask for photos in....
well im not going to try to drag information out of you. If you have a 168 whitelight you certainly know what is required to operate it. I assume your "shop" has three phase power, and if your house (where you poo) is just down the street I assume you can get lots of water hoses long enough to make it to your "shop". You might want to google 6kw water chillers...you will need a minimum of 2 of them, but to be safe you might want to buy 3 of them. or install a source of water in your "shop".and so on......
suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

We used a truck radiator (from a scrap yard) and an 18" electric fan to make a heat exchanger. Everything was welded to a small trolley and covered in ally sheet to improve airflow through the rad.
This worked well enough to operate a 2011 at full tilt with a 100 gallon resevoir. Using a 50 gallon drum, we were limited to about 20 minutes on and 10 off, while the water cooled down.

When I tried a 55 gallon drum, unassisted for a Lexel 95, I got 44 minutes calculated and 22 minutes actual. As amateur thermodynamics calculations go, that was pretty good. Ice only added maybe 10 minutes to that. Ice has a tendency not to melt well in fast flowing water.
You need full tilt, full power, max cooling to align and peak the laser. 5 minute cycles plus a cool down/reheat are just stressing the tubes glass to metal seals and cathode and wont get you very far as alignment and peaking go.

i live in malmoe sweden
every body got 3-phase 16-32A 400v here
and i have a (BIG) step down transformer that outputs 3-phase 208V 60A
the most vendors in my hood sell falafel
it´s around 59 degrees outside today
in the summer it´s around 80

Hi, I thought it was you! (Norberg you know...)
Welcome and good luck with your Big Scary Laser!

there you are
did you receive the mail i sent?

i´m going to get a water feed soon
but now my problem is water temparature
i will only get cold water 10°c. (50°F)
Is there any way to recycle the hot water from
the laser, back in to the system to heat
the cold water to 30°c (86°F)
someone told me that there could be problems
with ionization.
any suggestions ?
