Hi Justin,
I currently have water cooled but in the past I've had indoor and outdoor air
cooled. I love the water cooled and have had none of the issues I had with
the air cooled, no cleaning of the fins every 3 months. The only thing I
would say is to make sure that your chilled water temperatures do not fluctuate
too much and that there is no particulates floating in the system. The
facility guys usually have good numbers to hand for the chilled water and
you can always run them past Walter Osgood at Bruker for approval.

Hi Everyone,
We're in the planning stages of upgrading our aging AV1-800 to something more
modern. Currently we have a 1st gen cryoplatform with an air cooled compressor
outside on a balcony. Maintenance is a small pain with all the tree leaves,
cotton, and dirt. If you had the choice would you go with another air cooled
compressor or water cooled? We don't have chilled water in the lab yet but
it's about 50 feet away in a service closet so it wouldn't be too bad to
bring it in. Thoughts?
