Water Cooled

What is the definition of a water cooled system? A water cooled system is a type of cooling system that uses water as the cooling medium and is the most commonly used cooling system for computers, industrial equipment and other electronic devices. Water cooled systems are used in almost every type of application, from personal computers to large industrial machines. The main advantages of water cooled systems are that they are more efficient than air cooled systems, have a higher cooling capacity, and require less maintenance.
A water cooled system works by circulating a coolant liquid, typically a combination of water and antifreeze, through a closed system of channels and radiators. The coolant liquid absorbs heat from the system and then carries it away, usually to a radiator or other heat exchanger, where the heat is dissipated into the atmosphere. The main components of a water cooled system are the water pump, the radiator and the hoses. The pump circulates the coolant through the system, the radiator dissip
