About Compressed Air and Vortex Cooling Tubes
Compressed air and vortex cooling tubes use are used for spot heating or cooling applications. Filtered, pressurized gas is injected into a chamber whose shape accelerates the gas to a high rate of rotation (over 1,000,000 rpm). The gas is then divided into two streams, one hot and one cold. Compressed air and vortex cooling tubes are less efficient than air conditioners and are often used for inexpensive spot cooling when compressed air is available. They generate cold air without refrigerants such as Freon, a registered trademark of DuPont. Air conditioning requires maintenance and can be expensive and difficult to install. Fans can provide inadequate cooling and may draw in dirty moist air, which can be another cause of failure. With no moving parts to wear out, compressed air and vortex cooling tubes can be used to cool electrical cabinets and control panels. Compressed air and vortex cooling tubes can also be used with machining and soldering operations, for cooling plastic injection molds, for dry inking on labels and bottles, and for dehumidifying gas operations.
