OVERVIEW

Professional Grade Low-Conductivity Coolant

The Bernard COOL1 is a premium low-conductivity coolant designed specifically for the rigorous demands of industrial liquid-cooled welding systems. Engineered to protect valuable equipment, this coolant is essential for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of water-cooled TIG torches, MIG guns, and plasma cutting systems. Its specialized formulation addresses the unique challenges of welding environments, where electrical isolation and thermal management are critical.

One of the primary technical advantages of COOL1 is its low electrical conductivity. In high-frequency TIG applications or high-voltage plasma cutting, conductive fluids can cause arc instability or damage to the power source. COOL1 minimizes this risk, ensuring stable arc performance and protecting internal components. Additionally, it provides robust freeze protection down to -37°F (-38°C), making it suitable for workshops in colder climates or equipment stored in unheated areas.

Beyond thermal protection, COOL1 serves as a lubricant for the mechanical components of the cooling system. It reduces wear on pump vanes, seals, and O-rings, thereby extending the service life of the water cooler. The formula also includes inhibitors to prevent the growth of algae and the formation of mineral deposits, which can clog narrow coolant passages in modern torch heads. Supplied in a 1-gallon jug, it is a pre-mixed, ready-to-use solution that eliminates the need for distilled water dilution.

FAQ

No, COOL1 is a pre-mixed, ready-to-use formula. Diluting it with water will reduce its freeze protection, lubrication properties, and anti-algae capabilities.

Bernard COOL1 protects systems from freezing down to approximately -37°F (-38°C).

It is not recommended. Automotive antifreeze often contains stop-leak additives and silicates that can damage welding pump seals and clog small torch passages. It is also conductive, which can cause issues with High-Frequency TIG starting.

It is generally recommended to flush and replace the coolant in your welding system once a year to ensure optimal pump lubrication and algae prevention.

No, COOL1 is a low-conductivity fluid designed to prevent electrical leakage, which is critical for the safety and performance of TIG and plasma systems.

Yes, it contains additives specifically designed to inhibit the growth of algae and bacteria inside the coolant lines and tank.

COOL1 is compatible with most major brands of welding water coolers, including Bernard, Miller, Lincoln Electric, Dynaflux, and Binzel systems.

The fluid is typically clear or has a very light tint, distinguishing it from darker automotive coolants.
