What Are Vortex Tubes?
Vortex Tubes are instruments that work on a standard compressed air supply. Air enters the vortex tube and literally splits the air flow into two parts - cold air at one end, and hot air at the other - all without any moving parts. An adjustable valve at the "hot" end 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 exists the cold end of the vortex tube.
Inside the vortex tube is the interchangeable "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. There are also two basic types of generators - one to produce the extreme cold temperatures (maximum cold temperature out called the C generator) and one type to produce the maximum amount of cooling (maximum refrigeration called the H generator).
NueAir Vortex Tubes Are Best Because...Welded construction, NO PLASTIC PARTS
NueAir Vortex Tubes are constructed of stainless steel and 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. The unique design and quality of materials used in NueAir Vortex Tubes will deliver years of maintenance-free operation.
