FRIGID-X™ VORTEX TUBES FRIGID-X™ VORTEX TUBES Produce cold air as low as minus 50°F (minus 46°C) from compressed air with no moving parts to spot cool or cool enclosures with no electricity 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 ourcompetitors. 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 FRIGID-X™ VORTEX TUBE ADVANTAGES: ► Low in cost compared to most others ► Made ofdurable stainless steel and metal parts-no cheap plastic parts ► Adjustable temperature range E-mail:- "[email protected] "[email protected] "[email protected] Web:-"Www.nexflow.com "Www.nexflowair.com "Www.nex-flow.com

FRIGID-X™ VORTEX TUBES FRIG ID-X™ VORTEX TU BE - H OW IT WORKS Compressed air enters at point (A). Inside the tube the compressed air is made to spin using a "generator". It travels in one direction along the small (hot end) tube and then back inside itself in the reverse direction creating one stream of air (B) and the second stream of air (C) in the opposite direction. The outside stream of air gets hot and exhausts at point (D). The center column of air gets cold and exists at point (E). Temperatures and capacities can vary by adjusting the hotend plugat(D) and by using different "generators"...

FRIGID-X™ VORTEX TUBES There are two basic physical sizes of Vortex Tubes used extensively in industry - the small and medium size. A larger version is available on special order. 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.

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. COLD FRACTION % rJ^} Temperature drop of cold air, 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 orless filtration to keeptheairclean and dry. Vortex tubes...

FRIGID-X™ ADJUSTABLE SPOT COOLER FRIGID-X™ ADJUSTABLE SPOT COOLER Produce cold air as low as minus 30° F (minus 34° C) from compressed air to spot cool with easy adjustability WHAT ARE THEY - REASONS TO USE The Frigid-X™ Adjustable Spot Cooler is a low cost and maintenance free system which utilizes a vortex tube to The Frigid-X™ Adjustable Spot Cooler temperature can be adjusted using a knob at the hot end to set the temperature precisely to your requirements. Temperatures range from approximately minus 309F to room temperature and can be easily set with a thermometer. The Frigid-X™ Adjustable...

FRIGID-X™ ADJUSTABLE SPOT COOLER FRIGID-X ™ ADJUSTABLE SPOT COOLER - HOW IT WORKS Frigid-X™ - Adjustable Spot Cooler-Com pressed air enters at point (A) into the vortex tube component of the spot cooler. The vortex tube splits the compressed air into a hot (B) and cold (C) stream of air. The hot air from the vortex tube is vented to the atmosphere at point (D) after being muffled to reduce noise. Cold air enters into the muffler (E) and then distributed through the hose distribution kit (F) and onto the item being cooled. A strong magnet (G) holds the spot cooler in place. The temperature of...
