The Cantenna dummy loads just can't take 1.5 Kw for
very long. I was wondering if anyone has tried to
cool one of these. Either by running water thru the
can in a coil of copper tubing or maybe even having
the water replace the oil and run it thru the can.
I guess another possibility is to have oil circulated thru
the can and cool it in an heat exchanger. Any ideas?
I seem to be able to run 2KW into mine for at least
a 10 or 20 seconds at a time with out any additional
cooling. But not long enough for serious test.
