Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for integrated compressed air cooling for welding systems. In particular, the disclosed systems and methods may employ compressed air to implement one or more welding processes (e.g., a gouging or cutting processes), with the compressed air being conveyed through such welding systems. In some examples, the compressed air is routed within the welding system to provide cooling for one or more components therein. For instance, components such as power conversion circuitry may heat up during the welding process. Routing compressed air to or near the components will introduce relatively cool air to the environment. As the passing compressed air heats in response to interaction with the heated components, heat is drawn from the components and/or the nearby environment.
