What is a Vortex Tube?
The Vortex Tube is an effective, low-cost solution for a wide variety of industrial spot cooling and process cooling applications. Compressed air enters the Vortex Tube and spins at a rate of up to 1,000,000 RPM inside the air chamber. The air travels towards the hot end of the Vortex Tube and once it reaches the end, a small amount is exhausted through a control valve. The remainder of the air is forced back towards the opposite end of the Vortex Tube and it exhausted as cold air. A Vortex Tube can decrease air temperatures by ~115°F (46°C) and raise temperatures by ~200°F (93°C) from the initial air temperature.
Which Vortex Tube size will best suit my needs?
Our Vortex Tubes are available in two sizes (small and medium) as well as two material constructions (stainless steel and aluminum). Small Vortex Tubes have a capacity ranging from 2 SCFM to 8 SCFM and are available in stainless steel. Medium Vortex Tubes have a capacity ranging from 10 SCFM to 40 SCFM. They are available in both stainless steel and aluminum. Aluminum offers a cost saving option, while the durability of stainless steel, as well as its resistance to corrosion and oxidation, assures that Streamtek Vortex Tubes will provide years of reliable, maintenance free-operation.
Which model is best for my application?
Streamtek offers two models of Vortex Tube. 7500 Series Vortex Tubes are engineered to provide optimal temperature drop while maintaining strong air flow. 7700 Series Vortex Tubes are engineered to provide the maximum possible temperature drop while sacrificing some airflow. 7700 Series Vortex Tubes should only be used in special applications where the temperature requirement is below 20°C.
What types of Vortex tubes do we carry?
Medium Vortex Tube:
Material - Aluminum
BTU rating – 700 – 2800 BTU/Hr.
Air consumption – 10 SCFM – 40 SCFM
Did you know? Streamtek Vortex Tubes use a generator and valve made of brass and sealed with viton o-rings to allow their use in the widest range of environments. Others use plastic generators and standard Buna N O-Rings and charge extra for brass and viton!
