Vortex Tubes and Spot Cooling Products
Vortex Tubes
What Is a Vortex Tube?
A low cost, reliable, maintenance-free solution to a variety of industrial spot cooling problems. Using an ordinary supply of compressed air as a power source, vortex tubes create two streams of air, one hot and one cold, with no moving parts. Vortex tubes can produce:
- Temperatures from -50° to +260°F
(-46° to +127°C)
- Flow rates from
1 to 150 SCFM
(28 to 4248 SLPM)
- Refrigeration up to 10,200 Btu/hr.
(2571 Kcal/hr.) |
Special high temperature vortex tubes keep a boroscope lens cool while inserted into a 1200°F boiler porthole (inset photo). |
| Temperatures, flows and refrigeration are adjustable over a wide range using the control valve on the hot end exhaust. |
