Unless you want to run fresh water down the drain (in Arizona we don't do

running water lines to outside air is much easier than getting coax through a
concrete wall.
Speaking of difficult, the U.S. Navy AIM-54A Phoenix Missile which with I was
intimately familiar, used oil (Coolanol) cooling. Chassis were mounted on cold
plates and the vacuum tube modulator and pulse transformer were immersed in
oil and it also circulated through the PA klystron. Lines ran from the
missile umbilical to the wing or belly mounted launchers then to the F4
aircraft where a conditioning unit resided. The stuff was insidious to work
with. I ruined lots of clothes, And it was hygroscopic, just the thing to
use on a ship-borne system.
