In addition to an optimal temperature behavior of the component, water cooling enables high performance and ensures a longer service life of the components. The entire body of the component is at an optimum temperature even under full load. Therefore, water-cooled REO components can also be used in applications where air cooling is not possible. This is the case, for example, with particularly compact systems where there is little room for air circulation. Basis for using water-cooled REO comp...
