Vortex Tubes – Sub-Zero Process and Spot Cooling Systems (Cold Air Guns) using vortex tubes from compressed air

How Vortex Tubes Work
Fluid (air) that rotates around an axis (like a tornado) is called a vortex. Vortex Tubes create cold air and hot air by forcing compressed air through a generation chamber which spins the air centrifugally along the inner walls of the Tube at a high rate of speed (1,000,000 RPM) toward the control valve. A percentage of the hot, high-speed air is permitted to exit at the control valve. The remainder of the (now slower) air stream is forced to counterflow up through the center of the high-speed air stream, giving up heat, through the center of the generation chamber finally exiting through the opposite end as extremely cold air. Vortex Tubes generate temperatures down to 100°F below inlet air temperature. A control valve located in the hot exhaust end can be used to adjust the temperature drop and rise for all Vortex Tubes.
