The QHY Liquid Cooling kit is a specialized accessory used as part of an overall camera cooling system. Instead of relying on traditional fans, this kit employs liquid cooling to maintain optimal operating temperatures for QHYCCD astronomical and scientific cameras. Here are the key specifications:

  • Size: The dimensions of the cooling kit are approximately 29 cm (length) × 13 cm (width) × 17 cm (height).
  • Weight: The kit weighs about 2300 grams (excluding the liquid).
  • Rated Power: It operates at a rated power of 16 watts.
  • Rated Voltage: The cooling system runs on a 12-volt power supply.
  • Rated Current: The current draw is approximately 1.3 amperes.

Liquid Cooling: Liquid cooling is a type of cooling method that involves using a water-based liquid to dissipate heat. Unlike air cooling, which relies on fans, liquid cooling offers several advantages:

  1. Efficiency: Liquid cooling is more efficient than air cooling. When using ambient temperature pure water for water cooling, the maximum cooling temperature can be up to 10 degrees Celsius lower than that achieved by air cooling.
  2. Ultra-Low Temperatures: QHYCCD is actively improving its support for ultra-low temperature liquid cooling. With cold liquid, the liquid-cooled version of the QHY990Pro II camera can achieve temperatures as low as -60 to -80 degrees Celsius below ambient1.
  3. Vibration-Free: Liquid cooling systems are inherently vibration-free, which is crucial for sensitive scientific imaging.

Please note that the QHY Liquid Cooling kit is not typically stocked and may require approximately three weeks for delivery2. If you have any further questions or need additional information, feel free to ask! 😊
