Vortex Tube Cooling Efficiency

He vortex tube is an effective and low cost solution to a wide variety of industrial spot cooling and process cooling needs.

Vortex tube cooling efficiency.

In the vortex chamber part of the gas exists via the cold exhaust directly and. Introduction a vortex tube is a thermal device that can produce hot and cold streams simultaneously using only a compressed gas. We can say vortex tube is a device which produces cooling at one end and heating at the other end simultaneously. Air is commonly used as a working medium in the vortex tube.

It has no moving parts. When high pressure gas is tangentially injected into the vortex chamber via the inlet nozzle a swirling flow is created inside the vortex chamber. I have performed few tests with vortex tube to find its efficiency comparing with a refrigeration system objective was to determine whether we can use compressed air or co2 to replace refrigeration system vortex tube works only with pressurised fluid when sudden drop on pressure reduces temperature and the spiral form separator inside the vortex tube which circulates the fluid around it. The gas emerging from the hot end can reach temperatures of 200 c 392 f and the gas emerging from the cold end can reach 50 c 58 f.

The general name of vortex tube is cooling tube also which instantaneously create streams of high and. Pressurised gas is injected tangentially into a swirl chamber and. Hence the vortex cooling is an environmentally friendly system.
