OVERVIEW

Keep Your Torch Cool and Your Welds Clean

Upgrade your welding setup with the ESAB Heliarc 281-353i Water Cooler, the perfect companion for your Heliarc TIG welder. When you are deep in a project, the last thing you want is to stop because your torch is too hot to handle. Air-cooled torches are great for light work, but when you step up to the power of the Heliarc 281i or 353i, you need a cooling solution that can keep up. This genuine ESAB cooler (558101703) provides the continuous flow of coolant required to keep water-cooled torches operating at safe temperatures, even during long, high-amperage welds.

Designed for ease of use and durability, this cooler integrates perfectly with your existing Heliarc equipment. It eliminates the bulk of third-party universal coolers by fitting snugly into the system's configuration. The result is a streamlined, professional welding station that is safer and more comfortable to use. A cooler torch means a smaller, more maneuverable handle, better grip comfort, and significantly longer life for your collets, collet bodies, and nozzles.

Don't let heat limit your productivity. By adding the Heliarc 281-353i Cooler to your arsenal, you can tackle thicker aluminum sections and run longer beads without fear of equipment failure. It is an investment in efficiency that pays for itself by reducing downtime and consumable waste. Trust ESAB's engineering to keep your shop running smoothly and your welds looking their best.

FAQ

This cooler is specifically designed for the ESAB Heliarc 281i and Heliarc 353i AC/DC TIG welding power sources.

A water cooler is necessary when using water-cooled TIG torches, which are required for high-amperage welding (typically over 150-200 amps) to prevent the torch from overheating and melting.

Coolant is typically sold separately. It is recommended to use a dedicated welding coolant to prevent algae growth and corrosion within the pump and torch lines.

The cooler is designed to integrate with the Heliarc power source, often drawing power directly from the machine or via a dedicated auxiliary connection depending on the specific cart setup.

No, this unit is engineered specifically for the form factor and electrical requirements of the ESAB Heliarc 281i and 353i series.

Regular maintenance includes checking coolant levels daily, inspecting hoses for leaks, and flushing/replacing the coolant annually or according to the coolant manufacturer's recommendations.

Yes, it is designed to fit the standard cart options available for the Heliarc 281i and 353i, creating a unified mobile welding station.

If coolant flow stops, a water-cooled torch will overheat very quickly, potentially destroying the torch cable and head. Many modern machines have flow sensors to cut the arc if flow is lost.
