Vortex Tube Cooler
Pressurised gas is injected tangentially into a swirl chamber and.
Vortex tube cooler. Vortex tubes cool instantly relying on compressed air spinning in the tube to separate the air into cold and hot air streams. They have no moving parts for a long service life. A vortex tube creates cold air and hot air by forcing compressed air through a generation chamber which spins the air at a high rate of speed 1 000 000 rpm into a vortex. An overview of how vortec s vortex tubes create super cooled air from a compressed air source.
The vortex tube also known as the ranque hilsch vortex tube is a mechanical device that separates a compressed gas into hot and cold streams. Brought to you by nex flow air products corp. With no moving parts a vortex tube spins compressed air to separate the air into cold and hot air streams. Vortex tubes convert compressed air into a stream of cold air.
Air supply must be filtered to remove moisture and contaminants. Produces a stream of 20 f 7 c air. Vortec s vortex tubes are able to create cold air that is up to 100f below the inlet air temperature. Airflow adjusters sold separately can be switched out to increase or decrease the vortex tube s airflow cfm to alter its cooling capacity.
Vortex tube performance is easily adjustable by changing the inlet air pressure ratio of cool air to exhaust or by. While french physicist georges ranque is credited with inventing the vortex tube in 1930 itw vortec was the first company to develop and apply this phenomenon. 2015 how our vortex tubes work vortex tube applications. Our vortex tube which can also be called vortex cooler comes in different variants.
