FRIGID-X™ VORTEX TUBES FRIGID-Xtm VORTEX TUBESProduce cold air as low as minus 50OF (minus 46OC) from compressed air with no moving parts to spot cool or cool enclosures with no electricity Small Vortex Tube Medium Vortex Tube Large Vortex Tube WHAT ARE THEY - REASONS TO USE Vortex Tubes are devices that work on a standard compressed air supply. Air enters the vortex tube and is literally split into two parts - cold air at one end, and hot air at the other - all without any moving parts. Vortex Tubes have an adjustable valve at the "hot" end which 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 exits the cold end of the Vortex Tube. Our Vortex Tubes may also be supplied with a fixed preset "cold fraction" instead of an adjustable valve. Inside is the interchangeable brass "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). WHY THE FRIGID-X™ VORTEX TUBE OVER OTHERS : The Frigid-X™ Vortex Tube is constructed of stainless steel and uses a generator and valve made of brass and sealed with viton o-rings to allow their use in the widest range of environments. This also allows for greater life and better consistency between Vortex Tubes made. In addition, it is usable in high temperature environments AS IT COMES with NO extra charge unlike many of our competitors. Most competitors use plastic generators and standard Buna N O-Rings and charge extra for brass and high temperature-rings. The unique design and quality of materials used in Frigid-X™ products will deliver years of maintenance-free operation. FRIGID-X™ VORTEX TUBE ADVANTAGES: ► No moving parts. ► Driven by air not electricity. ► Small and lightweight - portable. ► Low in cost compared to most others Superior design and performance Maintenance free operation ► Made of durable stainless steel and metal parts - no cheap plastic parts ► Adjustable temperature range Generators are interchangeable E-mail:- ■ [email protected] ■ [email protected] ■ [email protected] Web:- ■ www.nexflow.com ■ www.nexflowair.com ■ www.nex-flo

FRIGID-X™ VORTEX TUBES ^NEX FLOW™ There are three basic physical sizes of Standard Vortex Tubes used in industry - the small, medium and large version. Frigid-X™ Vortex Tubes can be selected by required performance in cooling for the 'H' generator versions and where very cold temperature is required, the 'C' generators are used. However, even with 'C' generators, as expected, the higher the are flow rating the greater any cooling effect. VORTEX TUBE MODELS 50002C-50008C 50002H-50008H FLOW RATE: 2-8 SCFM (57-227 SLPM) H series Vortex Tubes (For Maximum Cooling) C series Vortex Tubes (For Maximum...

FRIGID-X™ VORTEX TUBES Approximate temperature drops (and rises) from inlet air temperature produced by a Vortex Tube set at various cold fractions. Assume constant inlet pressure and temperature. Tests were conducted with a 15H generator in a medium size Vortex Tube (Model 50015H). Will vary with other sizes and capacities. PRESSURE "SUPPLY Temperature drop of cold air, Temperature rise of hot air,°F (0C) in blue °F (0C) in red USING THE VORTEX TUBE : Back pressures over 2 psig (0.1 bar) can reduce the performance of a Vortex Tube. Similarly it is important to use a minimum of 25 micron or less...
