Very NICE............ I have been searching for a direction on how to build a TIG cooler. You have supplied the blueprint. Thank you sooooooo much. David (from "Downunder")
Well done. If you can find a roll of rubber matting, I bet placing between pump and cart would help reduce noise. There is also 3M product or Sikaflex, 3M 520 or 5200. Marine sealant/adhesive that is a tremendous help as part of motor mounts,probably would help with noise reduction as well. No doubt other people have ideas on that subject as well. Cheers.
From what I read around online the water cooled torches need about 1 Quart per minute at 50 PSI. Check the torch maker I think they may often include the specs required. I think I saw the spec at Arczone, but can't remember. Most cheap pumps don't have the pressure capacity of the Procon pump. What what I looked at the entire bunch of fitting and touch head is really restrictive and I'm guessing that at 50 PSI or so it might be right but I have not yet hooked it up to the torch as I have a bit more to do with the cart. If you are trying a pump simply hook it up to the torch and see get a bucket and time it for 1 minute and see how much water flows out the torch. Edit : Forgot the typical Procon carbonator pump is around 110gph or so depending on pressure.
Welding Junkie wait did you mean the argon tanks? Got them off Amazon, they are for scuba tank mounts. They worked out really well. They are not super heavy duty, but a pair per tank did the trick.
Thank you man ! Good work !

About how many GPM is need from the pump?

Where did you get the tank mounts?
Welding Junkie The tank, pump and motor all mounted to the plate come as an assembly with the McCann carbonator. It's all ready to go.

Welding Junkie look for XS scuba tank mounts
