CW-5000 Refrigerated Water Chiller for CO2 Laser Machines – 120V AC
LASER PARTS | WATER COOLING & CHILLERS
CW-5000 Refrigerated Water Chiller for CO2 Laser Machines
The CW-5000 is a compressor-based refrigerated water chiller designed to provide consistent, actively controlled cooling for water-cooled glass CO2 laser tubes. Unlike radiator-style cooling systems, the CW-5000 can lower coolant temperature below the surrounding room temperature, helping maintain stable operating conditions during laser engraving and cutting.
Designed for compatible higher-power CO2 laser machines, the CW-5000 combines refrigerated cooling, continuous water circulation, digital temperature control, and built-in protection features. It is a practical solution for longer engraving jobs, repeated production runs, and applications requiring more precise temperature management.

Recommended Applications
The CW-5000 is commonly used with compatible higher-power CO2 laser systems, including:
- 80W CO2 laser machines
- 90W CO2 laser machines
- Laser engraving and cutting systems using water-cooled glass laser tubes
- Applications requiring longer operating periods or repeated production runs
- Workshops requiring actively controlled coolant temperatures
Chiller suitability depends on the laser tube's cooling requirements, operating environment, and total heat load. Verify your machine's requirements before selecting a cooling system.
Built-In Equipment Protection
The CW-5000 monitors coolant circulation and temperature during operation. Its built-in alarms help identify problems such as restricted water flow, excessive or unusually low coolant temperatures, and certain controller or sensor faults.
When properly connected to a compatible laser machine, the chiller's alarm output can be integrated with the laser's protection circuit to help prevent operation when a cooling fault is detected.
Important Operating Information
Always fill the chiller with the appropriate coolant before operation. Never run the circulation pump dry. Position the chiller in a clean, well-ventilated location with adequate clearance around its air inlet and exhaust.
Avoid setting the coolant temperature unnecessarily low, as condensation may develop on the laser tube or coolant lines when their surfaces become colder than the surrounding air's dew point. Regularly inspect the coolant level, tubing, connections, and air filter.
Compatibility & Installation
This listing is for the 120V AC version of the CW-5000 refrigerated water chiller. Verify your electrical service and laser tube cooling requirements before ordering.
Before connecting the chiller, confirm the coolant tubing connections, required flow rate, and compatibility with your laser machine's cooling protection circuit.
