A Vortec vortex tube is a compact and reliable solution for industrial spot cooling and localised process cooling. Also referred to as a vortex tube cooler or vortex cooling tube, the device uses compressed air to generate an instant cold air stream—without electricity, refrigerants, or moving parts.
Vortex tube cooling is widely used in industrial environments where traditional cooling methods are impractical, too slow, or too costly. By delivering precise and controlled cold air directly to the target area, a vortex tube improves process stability and reduces heat-related downtime.
Vortec vortex tubes cover a broad performance range—from compact, low air-consumption models to high-capacity vortex tube coolers with cooling capacities of up to approximately 1,758 Watts and outlet temperatures down to around −40 °C under optimal conditions.
A vortex tube from Vortec separates compressed air into a cold and a hot air stream. The cold air is directed at the required cooling point, while the hot air is exhausted away from the process.
Cooling performance is adjusted by regulating air pressure and selecting the correct Vortec vortex tube model based on cooling capacity and air consumption.
