Ck Worldwide - Glycol coolant torch performance & Good technical support

admin

Last night I shot an email off to CK Worldwide asking if using 50:50 water:glycol (propylene or ethylene) affects a torches current rating. The president of CK Worldwide got back to me this morning and confirmed that, "The mixture does not matter. You should be getting about a quart per minute through the system not to exceed 60 psi for optimum cooling." So, from the horses mouth, CK torches can be used with water or glycol mix with no derating of current capacity.I have to give props to CK for having a higher-up respond to a technical inquiry in under 24 hours.

Reply:Last time I bought it was from Airgas. I haven't looked for the slip but I recall about $28. plus shipping, plus fuel surcharge, plus HAZ MAT fee, plus tax.An optimist is usually wrong, and when the unexpected happens is unprepared. A pessimist is usually right, when wrong, is delighted, and well prepared.
