Hi all, does anyone have experience with the Hailea aquarium chiller or similar, to use it with a laser cutter in a warm environment? (we want to use our K40 in Australia, qld) The price is a lot better than the CW 5000 chillers!

I probably want to buy one of these chillers, and use it with an external 20l Jerrycan and submersible pump, but don’t know which type to buy, the 250 watt 1/6 hp or the 150 1/10hp?

From the description I think you would be OK with the 150. But if the price difference isn’t too great, I would go with the 250 just to be safe. There seems to be quite a few Australian vendors of this product.

Thanks Anthony, the 250 is only 25 more euro’s expensive than the 150. Think I’ll buy the 250 in a couple of days on Ebay and see how it goes.

Any experience yet? :slight_smile:

Yes, the is working great, cools the water in our Jerrycan to the desired temperature and when the temperature rises 1 degree Celsius it chills to the desired temperature again.

Is the chiller before, after or parallel to the jerrycan? Piking up a chiller tomorrow so I can finaly use the K40 :slight_smile:

K40 uses a pump in the Jerrycan and chiller has its own pump in the same Jerrycan
