OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Coolant Circulation

The Profax PW525 is a robust welding water cooler designed for the rigors of industrial manufacturing and fabrication environments. Engineered with a focus on longevity and fluid purity, the unit features a complete stainless steel tank and cover. This material choice is critical for preventing the oxidation and galvanic corrosion that frequently plague mild steel or aluminum tanks, ensuring that the coolant remains free of particulate matter that could clog narrow torch passages.

At the heart of the system is a powerful 1/3 HP motor coupled with a high-efficiency Pro-Con rotary vane pump. This configuration delivers a consistent flow rate and pressure (factory set around 50-60 PSI), which is essential for maintaining the thermal equilibrium of high-amperage water-cooled TIG torches (up to 500A) and MIG guns (up to 600A). The rotary vane design offers superior durability compared to diaphragm or gear pumps, providing smooth, pulsation-free coolant delivery.

The PW525 is designed for ease of maintenance and integration. It operates on standard 115V single-phase power, making it compatible with most shop outlets and welding carts. The front panel includes a visible water level sight gauge, allowing operators to verify coolant levels at a glance without opening the unit. With a 2.5-gallon capacity, the system holds enough thermal mass to handle extended duty cycles without rapid heat saturation. Standard 5/8-18 left-hand fittings ensure compatibility with the vast majority of North American welding equipment.

FAQ

It is recommended to use a dedicated welding coolant like Pro-Cool or a mixture of distilled water and ethylene glycol (if freeze protection is needed). Avoid automotive antifreeze as it can damage pump seals and torch heads.

Yes, the unit comes pre-wired with a standard 115V NEMA 5-15P plug.

The PW525 is rated for TIG torches up to 500 amps and MIG guns up to 600 amps, depending on the duty cycle and ambient temperature.

Yes, the Pro-Con rotary vane pump has an adjustment screw to regulate pressure, though it is factory preset to optimal levels (usually around 50-60 PSI) for most welding torches.

Yes, provided the plasma cutter's torch flow and pressure requirements fall within the PW525's output capabilities.

There is a convenient sight gauge located on the front panel of the unit.

The cooler uses standard CGA style 5/8-18 Left Hand female threads for the water out and water return lines.

Stainless steel is more durable, heat-resistant, and does not degrade over time like plastic. It also prevents rust, which is common in mild steel tanks.
