Liquid cooling functions by circulating a liquid called coolant through pipes and tubes, absorbing heat and dissipating it from critical components. This lowers the temperature of important parts such as condensers, inductors, and control circuits, improving charging efficiency and extending product lifespan. The coolant is typically a mixture of glycol and water to prevent freezing and boiling. High-quality liquid pumps are essential for effective liquid cooling operations. A consistent and stable flow rate is necessary for these systems to function properly, allowing the coolant to maintain an appropriate temperature while effectively dissipating heat from the elements. Reliability is also crucial, as coolant leaks can cause catastrophic damage to equipment.
