A Vortex Tube has no moving parts and will convert a compressed air supply into two streams – one hot and one cold. A Vortex tube can produce cold air down to -35°C and hot air up to +127°C. Small models available in sizes ranging from 145btu/h to 560btu/h. The Hot end muffler included.
Compressed air is injected tangentially into the tube at sonic speed and creates a cyclone (Vortex) spinning at about one million revolutions per minute. Part of the air is forced to spin inward to the centre hole and travels up the long tube where a valve turns this spinning column (Vortex) of air inside itself. The inside column of air gives up its heat to the outside column. The cold air is then directed out the cold end of the Vortex Tube. The temperature and air flow are totally controllable by adjusting the valve at the hot end of the tube.
