Industrial Spot and Process Cooling with Vortex Tubes
Vortex Tubes, capable of generating up to 6000 BTU/hr (1757 watts) of refrigeration and achieving temperatures as low as -40 deg, are ideal for a variety of industrial spot and process cooling requirements. These tubes are noted for their high reliability and cost-effectiveness, as they have no moving parts and do not require an electrical connection at the site of cooling. Vortex Tubes provide immediate cooling by using compressed air that spins within the tube to divide the air into separate cold and hot streams.
Primarily used for cooling, these tubes can also serve heating purposes by redirecting the exhaust hot air.
Invented by French physicist Georges Ranque in 1930 and industrialized by Vortec in the 1960s, Vortex Tube technology has since been widely utilized across various industries for machine cooling, assembly line cooling, process cooling, and in testing and measurement applications. Discover how it works.
