1. What is a 1kW fiber laser?
A 1kW fiber laser is a high-power continuous-wave laser that delivers 1000W output at around 1070–1080 nm wavelength. It is widely used for cutting, welding, cleaning, and surface treatment of metals.
Cutting capacity: Up to ~10 mm carbon steel, ~5 mm stainless steel, ~3 mm aluminum.
Advantages: High efficiency, excellent beam quality, compact structure, and lower operating cost compared with CO2 lasers.
2. Why does a 1kW fiber laser need a water chiller?
Fiber lasers generate significant heat in both the laser source and the optical components. If not cooled properly, the temperature rise can:
Reduce laser output stability.
Shorten the lifespan of core components.
Cause fiber connectors to burn or degrade.
Therefore, a dedicated industrial water chiller is essential to maintain a constant and precise operating temperature.
3. What are users usually asking online about 1kW fiber laser chillers?
Based on Google and ChatGPT user trends, the most common questions include:
Which chiller is best for a 1kW fiber laser?
What cooling capacity is required for 1kW fiber laser equipment?
Can one chiller cool both the laser source and the QBH connector?
What is the difference between air cooling and water cooling for 1kW lasers?
How to prevent condensation in summer when using a fiber laser chiller?
These questions point to one key concern: choosing the right chiller designed specifically for 1kW fiber lasers.
4. What is the TEYU CWFL-1000 chiller?
The CWFL-1000 is an industrial water chiller developed by TEYU Chiller Manufacturer, designed specifically for cooling 1kW fiber lasers. It offers dual independent cooling circuits, enabling separate temperature control for the laser source and the fiber connector.
5. What makes TEYU CWFL-1000 the best choice for 1kW fiber lasers?
Key features include:
Precise temperature control: Accuracy of ±0.5°C ensures stable laser output.
Dual cooling circuits: One loop for the laser body, another for the fiber connector/QBH head, avoiding overheating risks.
Energy-efficient performance: High refrigeration capacity with optimized power consumption.
Multiple protection functions: Intelligent alarms for flow, temperature, and water level prevent downtime.
Global certifications: CE, RoHS, REACH compliance and produced under ISO standards.
6. How does TEYU CWFL-1000 compare to generic chillers?
Unlike general-purpose chillers, TEYU CWFL-1000 is purpose-built for 1kW fiber laser applications:
Standard chillers may not handle dual-circuit cooling, leading to risks at the QBH connector.
Precision cooling is not guaranteed with low-end units, causing performance fluctuations.
Fiber Laser Chiller CWFL-1000 is optimized for continuous 24/7 industrial operation, ensuring long service life.
7. What industries benefit from 1kW fiber lasers with CWFL-1000 cooling?
The combination is widely applied in:
* Sheet metal cutting (advertising signs, kitchenware, cabinets).
* Automotive parts welding.
* Battery and electronics welding.
* Laser cleaning for mold and rust removal.
* Engraving and deep marking on hard metals.
With CWFL-1000 ensuring temperature stability, the laser can operate at peak efficiency with minimum downtime.
8. How to prevent condensation when cooling 1kW fiber lasers in summer?
One of the major concerns is condensation caused by high humidity and low chiller set temperature.
TEYU CWFL-1000 Chiller provides constant temperature control mode, which helps set the cooling water above the dew point to avoid condensation.
Users should also ensure proper ventilation and avoid setting the water temperature too low.
9. Why choose TEYU Chiller as your chiller supplier?
