Vortex Coolers (W7 Series) for Enclosure Cooling

CFC-Free Vortex Coolers for Industrial Enclosure Cooling

Vortex Coolers
Vortex coolers use compressed air to provide a cooling air flow. Vortex compressed air cooling is used where conventional cooling by enclosure air conditioners or heat exchangers is not possible. Examples include: small to medium size equipment enclosures, non-metallic enclosures, and any other areas where the size of cooling devices is restricted.

Enclosure Vortex Coolers start at $774.00

Application Requirements

Clean, dry, oil-free compressed air (100 PSIG / 70 degrees F or below) required to achieve published BTU/hr ratings. Lower pressures and higher temperatures will reduce BTU/hr ratings.
A 5-micron water and particulate removal filter must be installed prior to operating any vortex cooler (included in kits).
An oil removal filter can be installed between the 5 micron filter and the Vortex Cooler if oil is present in the compressed air line.

How Vortex Coolers Create Cold Air

Vortex coolers are powered by a vortex tube - a unique device that creates a vortex from compressed air and separates it into hot and cold air streams.
The vortex tube�s cylindrical generator causes the input compressed air to rotate, reaching speeds up to 1,000,000 rpm as it is forced down the inner walls of the hot longer end of the vortex tube.
At the end of the hot tube, a small portion of this air exits through a needle valve as hot air exhaust. The remaining air is forced back through the center of the incoming air stream at a slower speed.
The heat in the slower moving air is transferred to the faster moving incoming air.
This super-cooled air flows through the center of the generator and exits through the cold air exhaust port.
