The cooling effect in a vortex tube.
The vortex tube was discovered in 1930 by french physicist georges ranque.
Here s how it works.
Fluid that rotates about an axis like a tornado is called a vortex.
Vortec was the first company to develop this phenomenon into practical effective cooling solutions for industrial applications.
The working principle of the vortex tube is discussed in relation to the proposed mechanism and is validated by the significant correlation existing between the theoretical value and experiment results which are obtained in the course of this study.
It has no moving parts.
This paper reports a detailed description of the flow behaviour inside a vortex tube and addresses the mechanism for the generation of cold and hot streams in a vortex tube which is.
The gas emerging from the hot end can reach temperatures of 200 c 392 f and the gas emerging from the cold end can reach 50 c 58 f.

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.
The vortex tube uses compressed air to create either a cold or hot air stream.
This stream can be used to significantly cool or warm tools products or parts for a variety of industries.
