Temperature fluctuations of the inflowing cooling water
It is important that the temperature of the inflowing water remains constant. The fluctuation of temperature
should not exceed 0.5 ° C per minute or 0.05 ° C per 5 seconds.

Flow rate
The safety interlock is unblocked at:
Device type
CPM F-1
CPM F-10, CPM C-9
CPM F-20
CPM F-30
Tab. 8.3:
Minimum flow rate
The highest measurement accuracy is reached at a typical flow rate of:
Device type
CPM F-1
CPM F-10, CPM C-9
CPM F-20
CPM F-30
Tab. 8.4:
Recommended flow rate
For the maximum laser power in case of a fixed flow rate the following rule is applicable:
Flow rate multiplied by 1.4 = maximum laser power. For 5 l/min this equals about 7 kW.
This calculation serves to prevent a possible overload.
Typical flow rates and temperature rises for the highest measurement accuracy can be found in Tab. 8.5 on
page 22.
