Condensation can damage the laser’s electrical components as well as internal laser optics. 冷凝对所有的水冷激光器都是一个问题，尤其是对在高温/高湿度环境下操作的激光器来说损害更大。 冷凝会损坏激光器的电子元件以及内部的光学元件。 What temperature should the chiller be set at? 水冷机设置在多少温度比较合适？ Example: In a situation where room temperature is between 80–85 °F (27–29 °C) with a relative humidity of 75%, the dew point temperature ranges between 71–76 °F (21–24 °C). (To see how this was calculated, refer to Dew Point Temperature Chart on next page). Condensation on cooling tubes occurs when their temperature is below the dew point. In order to prevent condensation, the chiller setpoint must be adjusted a few degrees above the dew point temperature. Do not choose an arbitrarily large number like 80 °F (27 °C), but instead choose a number around 76–78 °F (24–26 °C),just above the dew point, and carefully monitor the laser (Maybe including to RF supply) for signs ofcondensation. 例如：在一个室内温度为80–85 °F (27–29 °C)而相对湿度为75%的环境下，露点温度应该在71–76 °F(21–24 °C)的范围 内。(如何计算，请参考下页的露点温度图表)。当温度低于露点温度，冷却管就会产生冷凝。为了避免冷凝，水冷机的温 度设定必须略高于露点温度。不要选择一个像80 °F (27 °C)那样的绝对的温度值，而要选择略高于露点的温度范围，例 如76–78 °F (24–26 °C)，密切监控激光器(也许还包含RF电源)以发现冷凝的迹象。 The chiller setpoint must be set as low as practical because coolant temperatures above our specified maximum coolant temperature of 72 °F (22 °C) may affect laser performance. The laser specifications quoted in the Operator’s Manual are only valid within the specified coolant range of 64–72 °F (18–22°C). Mode quality and power stability degradation are the m
