How loud and what kind of noise does this thing make?That's a good point if you're cooling suppressors directly, but heating the rear of the chamber on a bolt gun so it's still 200F by the time you can get the tube inserted takes enough firing that you're probably already causing damage your barrel. Might as well go w/ the silicon though, it's more flexible & probably fits into chamber more easily
My set up is about the same
I don't know if this has been addressed, but my knowledge in the knife world tells me that putting cool water (anything around room/ambient temp) onto hot metal is a recipe for disaster. It will likely weaken welds, cause stress fractures in the metal grain and warping. All things I assume would be detrimental to a suppressor. Now I don't actually know what the operating temps of a suppressor are, so it's possible that they're low enough for the dramatic heat loss to not really affect anything, but it's not a chance I'd want to take.I shoot suppressors a lot.
The best way I have found to cool off hot suppressors is to spray them with water.
I just grab a bottle of water, drill a small hole in the top with the tip of my pocket knife, and spray a thin stream onto the outside of the suppressor. Evenly apply over the entire external surface.
The energy lost to steam conversion is orders of magnitude above moving air over the surface.
A thin stream from about 6-12" in a waving motion is better than a thick stream or just pouring the water on.
I have used high-power fans, and they're ok, but removal from the rifle so air flow can go through the core is needed if you want to drop temperature quickly. Laying them on a metal plate helps a little as well, but not something I usually have on a "non-work" range trip.
Do not shove them into standing cold water, you can risk structural integrity of the suppressor if the cooling rate is too fast, and you will likely wind up with boiling water and steam coming back up through the bore if attached to a firearm.
The suppressors I am using are primarily Inconel 718, and the amount of water flow is about what you'd get in a heavy rain.I don't know if this has been addressed, but my knowledge in the knife world tells me that putting cool water (anything around room/ambient temp) onto hot metal is a recipe for disaster.

You don't need to fully submerse it. You do this to a hot frying pan, you will have a warped pan. A suppressor is no different. You WILL create tensile strain on the material and if it exceeds the tensile strength, you WILL develop micro fractures and eventually stress cracks as well as warping. It's actually worse to not cool metals evenly.When I wrap a wet towel on mine, it's barely hot enough to sizzle for just a brief moment, then MAYBE it will steam a little.
I rarely shoot more than 5-10 shots before I let it cool
But with that ryobi blower, it's really no longer an issue, I have rarely used the wet towel trick now that I have like 1000 CFM going through my barrel
Badass DIY barrel cooler(s)
If you’ve tried one of the commercial offerings, you were probably disappointed with airflow, battery life, or the whole shebang. That inspired me first to buy a rechargeable mattress inflator on Amazon for about $25 and rig a plastic pipe elbow so that it will generally fit in the bolt raceway...www.snipershide.com
I use the Ryobi blower with a piece of tubing. It can be placed in the action of the rifle and cool both the barrel and suppressor or just place it in the suppressor once removed the new whisper series blower is much quite than my older version. I will probably upgrade it later this year.
You can buy excellent battery adapters to run your dewalt battery in a Ryobi. I did so with my Metabo battery to Ryobi. But beware, there appears to be a lot of junk out there.What the heck.
No DeWalt version!

After a bunch of research I found a good place that isn’t some Amazon Chinese reseller of dubious quality items.
The seller is Eastern Trade Tools and he is based out of Austrialia. His shop used to be called yourtoolbox, btw, if you’re googling his reputation.

His website. Perhaps this is the adapter you need?
He makes other Dewalt adapters, battery post conversions, etc. Reach out to him, he is accessible.Dewalt XR 18v Battery Adaptor to Ryobi One+ Tools
Mystery busters: is ryobi that low quality thus will not suffice for real traides' needs? Yes and no, for some 'power focuesd' tools like saws and grinders, every bit of the motor components counts, and all these add up to ensure the overall power and endurance, hence better stick to the...www.yourtoolbox.com.au
I’m not rich enough to buy cheap stuff. I want things to work the first time, and for a long time.A bit pricey for adapters, those…
I’m not rich enough to buy cheap stuff. I want things to work the first time, and for a long time.
But I’m glad you find a Dewalt-compatible blower. That’s probably the best option anyhow.
You are taking my statement to some logical extreme endpoint lol.There’s no guarantee DeWalt will maintain its present battery interface forever.
Heck, I kept my heavily - used Sony Handycams and Cybershots are in like - new condition, but batteries are no longer produced for my models - not even by the Lionbattery (a Chinese mainstay from a decade ago).
My cost / benefit curve was adjusted to suit this paradigm of not accumulating expensive obsoletes long ago.
