AWS CoolMate 9L Water Cooler for Welding Machines

Description

AWS CoolMate 9L: a water cooler for welding machine and torch setups that need active cooling

The AWS CoolMate 9L (item code WRC-300D) is Amalgum Welding Shop’s own-brand water cooler for welding machine and torch setups that run water-cooled. It circulates coolant through a water-cooled MIG or TIG torch and back through its own radiator, holding the torch at a safer operating temperature so it can run harder for longer without cutting out on heat.

What does a water cooler for a welding machine actually do?

It pumps coolant through the torch’s water lines and back through an internal radiator, pulling heat away from the torch tip and cable during high-amperage or high-duty-cycle work. A water-cooled torch cannot function without one — it will overheat almost immediately if run dry or without circulation.

Do I need a water cooler, or is my air-cooled torch fine?

Only if your torch is specifically a water-cooled model, such as our MB501 water-cooled MIG welding torch. An air-cooled torch has no coolant lines and gains nothing from a cooler. If a high-amperage, high-duty-cycle job keeps tripping your air-cooled torch on heat, moving to a water-cooled torch plus this cooler is the standard fix.

What’s the cooling capacity of the CoolMate 9L?

3,760W maximum cooling capacity at a coolant flow rate of 1.7L/min, from a 9-litre reservoir. Housing is rated IP21 for basic dust and splash protection.

What welding setups is it compatible with?

AWS states the CoolMate 9L is compatible with “various welding setups” without naming specific machines or torch models on the spec sheet. Confirm your torch’s water-line fittings and connector type against the CoolMate before ordering — send us your torch model or a photo and we’ll check compatibility first.

What’s the input power and protection rating?

220V ~ 50/60Hz single-phase per the AWS spec sheet. The unit’s own rating plate states AC 230V, 1~50/60Hz with a rated current of 0.4A — both figures sit within normal single-phase supply tolerance, so either reading is fine on standard South African 220–230V power. Protection rating is IP21.
