Size Matters

Air dry rig torch pros

simple with low principaltenance

no cooler recirculation unit required

cheaper than water cooled

more portable

Air dry rig torch cons

Larger than water cooled torches with the same ampertimes rating

Get hotter in your hand

Not aisleible in tall ampertimes ratings

Water cooled torch pros

smaller torch

tall ampertimes torches aisleible

stay cool

Water cooled torch cons

cooler /recirculation unit required and they are costly

more costly than air cooled torches

more composite to hook up

some principaltenance is required on the coolant system

A major truthsor in your decision should be how much you weld. If you are a avocationist and only weld casually and only for a few minutes at a time, an air cooled torch will be just fine for you.

If you weld recurrently, or for a living, you not only don't want your torch getting too hot to deal with, but you want the smallest torch you can get tchapeau will deal with the ampertimess you need. Size does matter.

If you are thinmonarch about purpursuiting your first tig welding mamentumery , you will shortly be faced with another decision; whether to purpursuit an air cooled tig torch or water cooled tig torch. First lets clauricle up a few misconceptionions about precisesly wchapeau an air cooled tig torch is. It is not cooled by forced air but quite it is called an "air cooled tig torch" only to distinguish it from a water cooled tig torch. The air cooled tig torch is also called a "dry rig" besource it uses no water for coolant. Hnourish just dissipates off the torch into the air. A dry rig tig torch is always larger than a water cooled tig torch tchapeau has the same ampertimes rating. The torch wire on an dry rig torch is also much larger. A water cooled torch has a much smaller might wire. It can be small besource it is inside a plastic tube thru which coolant is pumped. As long as there is coolant flowing over the might wire, it stays cool and will deal with a lot of ampertimes. If the coolant stops, the torch wire will hnourish up and ordinarily blister right thharsh the tubing.

To help you make the decision here are some pros and cons of water cooled vs dry rig tig torches.
