Vortex Tube

Call for price

Vortex tube technology was invented by French physicist Georges Ranque in 1930. Vortex Tubes are devices which generates cold air and hot air by forcing compressed air through a generator. Air enters the vortex tube and is literally split into two parts – cold air at one end, and hot air at the other – all without any moving parts

Vortex Tubes have an adjustable valve at the “hot” end which controls the volume of the air flow, and the temperature exiting at the cold end. By adjusting the valve, you control the “cold fraction” which is the percentage of total input compressed air that exits the cold end of the Vortex Tube. Our Vortex Tubes may also be supplied with a fixed preset “cold fraction” instead of an adjustable valve. Inside is the interchangeable brass “generator” which can alter the air used in the Vortex Tube, and control the temperature ranges you wish to have at the cold and hot ends. There are several ranges of generators for compressed air capacity.

A vortex tube can be made in several sizes the smallest operating with 2 to 8 SCFM and the medium size 10 to 40 SCFM and the large size 50 to 150 SCFM. Larger sizes have rare applications due to high energy consumption.

Vortex tubes generate temperatures as much as 100 deg F (56 deg C) below the inlet air temperature. These Vortex Tubes are used for different purposes and different applications.

FAQ

What are the sizes of Vortex Tube? +
The Airmasters Vortex Tube is bifurcated in three categories , Small, Medium and Large.
What is the minimum pressure requirement to run the vortex tube effectively? +
The Vortex Tube should be operated at 6 Kg/cm2 Pressure so that it can generate the desired cold temperature.
Can a vortex tube be used for cooling the electric panel? +
Yes you can use the vortex tube to cool down a panel, but we would recommend using the vortex cabinet cooler, which is specially made for panel cooling applications.
Can Vortex Tube be used for spot cooling applications? +
Yes, Vortex Tube can be used for spot cooling applications with the help of Ball Joint Hose. You can also go for Machine tool Coolers for spot cooling applications.
How to install the vortex tube? +
Please go through our Installation Manual and if any query, kindly get in touch with our engineer.

  • Air Knives

    <div class="airmaster"> Airmasters Energy Saving Air Curtain also known as “Air Knives” provides an efficient laminar sheet of air for wide area cleaning and drying applications. Since Air Knives are a type of air amplifiers, they use a small amount of compressed air to deliver a powerful, high velocity, laminar sheet of air over wide areas such as moving webs, film, sheets, strips, auto bodies and other large assemblies and objects. Airmasters Air Knives are the perfect replacements for drilled or slotted lengths of pipe. In addition, the Air Knives offers up to 70% compressed air savings when compared to the drilled pipes. Stainless Steel models are ideal for food, pharmaceutical, chemical and other applications where purity, high temperatures or corrosive environments are concerned. Airmaster Air Knives increase thrust and velocity, reduced noise, excellent uniformity, and significantly outperforms any competing, wide blowoff device. <h5>Use of Shims</h5> Airmaster uses ONLY stainless steel shims in their Air Knife products as plastic shims wear out over time and require replacement, even with relatively clean air systems. Stainless steel shims are .002” (.050 mm). In most application this is adequate. However, velocity and force can be increased approximately 30% by adding a second .002” (.050 mm) shim. Shims may be stacked up to 5 sets. If using three or more sets however, the air inlets at the “ends” should be used to maintain even flow along the Air Knife system. Otherwise a slight d op in pressure and flow will occur across from the rear inlet ports if they are usedwith three or more shims Note that noise levels and air use will go up with an increased number of shims. </div> <div class="trial-btn"><a class="trigger" href="https://www.agency09.co/staging/aceflow/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/AIR-KNIFE.pdf" type="button">Download Brochure</a></div>

  • Airmasters AIR FLOW VAC – AIR CONVEYOR

    <div class="airmaster"> The AIR FLOW VAC Compressed Air Conveying System utilizes compressed air for a powerful, efficient venturi action along its length in a compact design for high capacity conveying over large distances. Available in both coated aluminium or high temperature stainless steel.Simply clamp a standard hose size to each end of the AIR FLOW VAC or AIR CONVEYOR to create this high energy conveying system. No moving parts for maintenance free operation with capacity and flow controlled with a pressure regulator. The AIR FLOW VAC or AIR CONVEYOR System is available in 3/8” (9.5 mm), 1/2” (12.7mm), 3/4” (19 mm), 1" (25mm), 1-1/4" (32mm), 1-1/2" (38mm), 2" (51mm), 2-1/2" (64mm), 3" (76mm), 4“ (101.6mm) and 5“ (127 mm) sizes Any size beyond that can be prohibitive for most applications due to high compressed air requirements. In addition, beyond 5", the vacuum ability begins to drop significantly except for highly intermittent applications. For applications beyond 3", a blower system often becomes far more economical except in a rare number of possible applications. </div> <div class="trial-btn"><a class="trigger" href="https://www.agency09.co/staging/aceflow/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/AIR_FLOW_VAC_AIR_CONVEYOR.pdf" type="button">Download Brochure</a></div>
