The sole purpose for cooling the faces of projection CRT's is primarily to keep the temp. down so the phosphore doesn't get burned to maintain a bright picture. These CRT are designed for a higher brightness level than direct view tubes. The higher the brightness, the more cooling of the phosphor is needed. Mitsubishi's Earlier ProJo's didn't you fluid, They used a fan to cool the faces of the tubes. Just my 2 and a half cents worth. > The liquid is used souly to dissipate the heat from the tube.
