If so, would you mind sharing your laser wattage and the chiller's flow rate and BTU rating.

Thanks!

We use some on the lasers at work (non woodworking app.) Those that print part numbers on stainless. I want to say that these are 100w lasers, and not run at 100% power - usually closer to 30-40%. Not sure of the specifics though. They are mostly Synrad lasers. As for flow rate and BTU. Again ????. But they are not refrigerated chillers, just finned liquid/air heat exchangers. Probably a 2 gal reservoir and a 12"x14" heat exchanger with a liquid pump and fan.
