    Default Laserscope - Water/Pump Questions

    Hey guys,

    Feel free to PM me in resopnse to this thread if you don't want to speak publicly...

    I have a few questions about the cooling system in the scope:

    1. Will the pump have sufficient lift to push water up to about 3 - 4 metres ? (ie, in a modified/split system, can I reuse the existing pump?)
    2. We run off 240VAC@50HZ in Australia, will the existing pump safely work directly off this given that its currently running off the secondary of the isolation transformer ?

    Cheers,

    Adrian

    My guess is yes it will run at 3 to 4 meters . I ran mine at 10 feet and had no problems. Use a little bit bigger diameter water hose and monitor your water temp and gpm.

    The pump will work fine on 240 volt straight out of the wall. You can get rid of that 100 lb isolation transformer !!

    You need a way to prevent suction of all the water out of the head. A lamp starting with no DI around it would be a bad thing.

    And centrifugal pumps are not know for their high head applications. What is the model number on the pump?

    Dont know about the 50 hz.

    If it was a Procon, You would derate it using graph for 50 Hz

    I guess You can still read some info there about freq-flow relation, also head vs. flow at given power.
