Additional Notes:
1.
Use of water-cooled laser generators is preferred as air-cooled generators dissipate excessive heat into the
room. Tie into a common closed circuit cooler for all water-cooled equipment in the Research Facility. Provide
domestic water backup for cooling water in case of emergency.
