## Water Cooling

Note

For connecting the liquid heat sink we recommend a pipe 8 mm diameter inside and 10 mm outside diameter material PA-pipe.

For liquid, we recommend a water-glycol mixture with min-18% glycol to avoid algae in the liquid.

But check with the producer of the cooling system. Often, they need an additional additive to avoid corrosion in the system.

On tested cooling system is the following one: [⁣External cooling system AQ240-Pro - High Power | innovatek Webshop (webshop-innovatek.de)](https://www.webshop-innovatek.de/en/cooling-systems/passive-cooling-systems/519/cooling-system-aq240-pro-high-power)

## Installation

1. Place heat-conducting pads between the camera and the cooling adapter. Different pads are included, choose the pad which fits best to the camera side.
2. Mount the cooling adapter.
3. For fan cooling, connect the power supply cable with the camera's fan power supply connector.
4. For fan cooling, enable the fan in your camera. Open the camera in GCT and navigate to the *camera feature tree* and set the parameter **Device Fan Enable** to **true** and save the setting.
