0414191881 - ESAB OCE-2 Hydro-Cooling Unit 220V

Keep Your Torch Cool and Your Welds Hot

If you are pushing high amps on TIG aluminum or running heavy flux-cored wire through a water-cooled gun, you know that heat is the enemy of your equipment. The ESAB OCE-2 Water Cooler is your defense against overheating. Running on 220V power, this unit circulates coolant through your torch lines, pulling heat away from the head and handle so you can keep welding without burning up your hand or your consumables.

Air-cooled torches are great for portability, but they have their limits. When you hit the duty cycle limit, the torch gets too hot to hold, and the internal copper starts to soften. The OCE-2 solves this by providing a steady stream of cool liquid. This doesn't just make the torch comfortable to hold; it actually saves you money. Cooler contact tips and collets last significantly longer because they aren't subjected to extreme thermal expansion and contraction cycles. You spend less time changing parts and more time laying beads.

Built for the Shop

ESAB built the OCE-2 to sit right next to your machine or on your running gear. It’s compact but tough. The 220V motor drives a powerful pump that ensures coolant reaches the torch head even if you are using long leads. Setup is usually plug-and-play: fill the tank with the appropriate coolant (don't use tap water if you can avoid it—it clogs things up!), connect your blue and red hoses, plug it in, and you are ready to go.

Why You Need It

Whether you are upgrading from an air-cooled setup or replacing a worn-out cooler, the OCE-2 is a solid investment. It allows you to maximize the amperage output of your machine. You can weld thicker materials for longer periods without stopping to let the torch cool down. It’s the silent partner in your welding booth that keeps everything running smoothly, ensuring your arc stays stable and your equipment stays safe.
