This QHY Liquid Cooling Kit is for customized QHY camera models with an “LQ” suffix, which means that it is designed to allow for liquid cooling. If you have already purchased an "LQ" camera model, adding this kit is necessary to complete your dream of a liquid cooled imaging camera. However, please remember that the LQ upgrade on the camera side is a customization of standard models. If you are interested in one of these customized cameras, please contact Khanscope so that we may assist you in the process. Liquid Cooling Kit attached to QHY LQ Version Camera According to QHY, here are the camera models that can be upgraded to LQ: QHY600 Pro Series QHY268M Pro 1 QHY411M/C Pro QHY461M/C Pro QHY6060 Pro QHY4040 Pro Series Compared to air cooling, liquid cooling offers the following advantages: More efficient cooling. When using ambient temperature pure water for water cooling, the maximum cooling temperature is about 10 degrees Celsius lower than that of air cooling. QHYCCD is improving its support for ultra-low temperature liquid cooling. No vibration. No matter how high-quality the fan is, it is inevitable to generate some image jitter. The water-cooling version does not have moving mechanical parts that cause camera vibration, thus avoiding negative effects on the image. No turbulent hot air. For certain cameras that need to be installed in front of the optical system, such as Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, the hot air generated by air cooling systems may cause slight interference with the optical path. Water cooling does not produce this kind of impact.
