Vortex Tubes and Spot Cooling Products

EXAIR's Vortex Tubes and spot coolers provide an affordable, dependable, and maintenance-free method for industrial spot cooling. Using compressed air, they generate temperatures as low as -50°F (-46°C) instantly through advanced vortex cooling technology. Compact and lightweight, these coolers offer adjustable cooling power, making them ideal for safeguarding heat-producing tools, cooling hot melt adhesives, soldered components, heat seals, machined plastics, and much more.

Key Features of Vortex Tubes

  • Converts compressed air into hot and cold air streams
  • No moving parts – maintenance-free operation
  • Adjustable temperature, flow, and cooling capacity
  • Durable stainless steel construction
  • Suitable for harsh and hygienic environments
  • Compact and easy to install
  • CE compliant

How a Vortex Tube Works

A vortex tube operates by injecting compressed air tangentially into a vortex chamber, creating a high-speed spinning airflow. This airflow separates into two streams:

  • A hot air stream that exits one end
  • A cold air stream that exits the opposite end

The separation occurs due to the transfer of kinetic energy within the vortex, allowing the device to generate cold air without refrigeration or moving components.

Performance & Selection

EXAIR vortex tubes are available in multiple sizes and configurations to meet different cooling requirements.

  • Flow rates can be adjusted using interchangeable vortex generators
  • Cooling capacity is determined by airflow (SCFM/SLPM) and temperature drop
  • Easy upgrade of performance by changing internal generators

Applications of Vortex Tubes

Vortex tubes are widely used in:

  • Cooling electronic components
  • Tool and machining cooling
  • Spot cooling in assembly lines
  • Cooling welds and soldered parts
  • Environmental chamber cooling
  • Cooling in hazardous or remote locations
