A welding component cooling system for cooling a welding component, in particular a welding torch, includes at least one container for cooling liquid, a cooling circuit with corresponding cooling lines, at least one pump arranged in the cooling circuit for conveying the cooling liquid through the cooling lines in the cooling circuit, at least one heat exchanger arranged in a cooling line, and a device for deionizing the cooling liquid in the cooling circuit. Also a welding component, in particular a welding torch includes such a welding component cooling system. At least one sensor for measuring the conductance of the cooling liquid is arranged in the cooling circuit and is connected to a control device, wherein the control device can be connected to a welding current source connected to the welding component.

Welding component cooling system for cooling a welding component

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus () for charging an energy storage () via a current generating device (), comprising at least one control device (), a burner () connected to a tank () for fuel supply, a charging device () connected to the energy storage (), and a thermal element () whose one side is connected to the current generating device (). To create such a method and such an apparatus (), by means of which the capacity of an energy storage () of a vehicle () can be maintained for a longer period of time, it is provided for the second side of the thermal element () to be connected to a heat dissipating element () of a vehicle (), and a monitoring unit () for the temperature of the heat dissipating element () is provided and connected to the control device () so that the current generating device () will be controllable to charge the energy storage () as a function of the temperature of the heat dissipating element ().
