Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document introduces the Vortex A/C, a cooling solution designed for harsh environments, offering reliable operation in conditions with dust, dirt, humidity, high heat, and airborne contaminants. It is patented under US Patent 7,461,513 and provides an alternative to traditional air conditioners.

Specifications
The Vortex A/C is available in models for NEMA 12 (IP52) and NEMA 4/4X (IP56) enclosures, with cooling capacities ranging from 900 to 5000 BTUH. Air consumption varies from 15 to 70 SCFM, and the recommended operating pressure is 90 to 100 psig.

Features and Benefits

Operates in environments up to 175˚F (80˚C).
Easy installation with no wiring required.
Low maintenance and extremely reliable with a 10-year warranty.
Quiet operation at 62 dBA.
Integral mechanical thermostat maintains temperatures between 80˚ to 90˚F.
