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.

Adiabatic efficiency of the vortex tube and p. 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. This model is a convergent vortex tube with d rth 0 633 which produces the cooling efficiency equal to 22 75 cooling temperature drop equal to 23 29 k and 0 72 k more than the basic optimum model d rth 0 611.

Pressurised gas is injected tangentially into a swirl chamber and. Hence the vortex cooling is an environmentally friendly system. The vortex tube also known as the ranque hilsch vortex tube is a mechanical device that separates a compressed gas into hot and cold streams. Air is commonly used as a working medium in the vortex tube.

We can say vortex tube is a device which produces cooling at one end and heating at the other end simultaneously. It has no moving parts. Introduction a vortex tube is a thermal device that can produce hot and cold streams simultaneously using only a compressed gas.
