Cooling unit and torch for lorch t220

[henry Kadzielski]

My two cents. A simple way of the cooler stopping after a set run time is to fit a run on timer. The cooler will start when you press the trigger and run on for the set time period which is set on the timer, then stop. This is the simplest way and not much grey matter required to get it done

Has anyone got a diagram on a diy one with what parts I need, I've looked at all sorts on the site including one in a plastic lunch box

Search on this site for @Richard.'s self made coolers.

Something like this is quite smart and easy enough to fabricate.
Here’s the layout
Very simple.

Very neat, very neat

Hi,
there is a second hand Lorch WUK 6 cooler at ebay-kleinanzeigen.de
Search for Lorch WUK 6
Maybe it´s of interest.
I don´t know the seller! And I don´t know if he would ship to England...

Phoned my local dealer yesterday who said I needed a wuk 7 but I have seen that a 6 is what I need also Said I had to buy a Lorch water cooled torch as you can't buy the plug and coolant connection seperately?

WUK 6 is 230v cooler it’s the older version. A WUK 7 takes its power from the machine so it can be used on the 230v 180/220 machines as well as the 250/300 400v machines

5 pin amphonel plugs, quick fit gas and water fittings can be bought as spare parts to enable you to fit whatever torch you prefer

I am pretty sure the water fittings are rectus 21.

 

[Richard.]

The control socket is 5 pin Tuchel (buy genuine as cheap copies are rubbish)

The gas connector is rectus 20KA

The water connectors are rectus 21

 

[matt1978]

Also, trigger pins are 1&2

Thought so, told me I had to cut them of a torch to retrofit a ck or equivalent

James, the wuk 7 is around £250 more than the 6 and I prefer aftermarket torches to original ones no mater what company makes them

your dealer is either stupid, or blatently trying to get you to spend money lol

 

[Cheesie]

I thought the same thing Munkul, I queried it with him but didn t argue,

Got my bodged cooler set up today along with my new wp20 Lorch torch but getting an error code now I take it the machine knows it's got a Lorch water cooled torch but no Lorch cooling unit, is there a code I can switch off

You need to jump the pins in the torch switch plug on the front mate

 

[Cheesie]

Thankyou I'll have a look round the forum and see what ones

 

[Brad93]

You should be getting error 5 on your screen if I remember correctly
