Vortex Tubes & Cabinet Cooler   


HOW DO VORTEX TUBES WORK? 
A Vortex Tube is a device with no moving parts that will convert any stream of compressed air 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.

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.
