The Vortex Coolers are available with or without a thermostat (mechanical or electrical) and most models come with accessories consisting of a 5-micron air filter and ducting kit.
NEMA Ratings 12 – Indoor Dust Tight/Drip Tight 4 – Outdoor Weatherproof/Wash-down 4X – Outdoor Weatherproof/Wash-down Corrosion Resistant
All Vortex Coolers are UL-listed and maintain NEMA 4, 4X and 12 ratings based on selected model. Coolers are designed to use a filtered factory compressed air supply of 80 -100 PSIG.
With no moving parts to wear out or maintain, Vortex Coolers use only compressed air and vortex tube technology to produce quiet, efficient and reliable cabinet cooling. As an added benefit, these coolers create a slight positive pressure inside the enclosure to prevent dirt or dust from entering - even in the most challenging environments.
Vortex Coolers easily mount in tight spaces, with all models ranging only from about 7 to 11 inches tall.
How Enclosure Coolers Create Cold Air Vortex Cooler Enclosure Coolers are powered by a Vortex tube – a unique device that creates a vortex from compressed air and separates it into hot and cold air streams. Here’s how it works. The vortex tube’s cylindrical generator causes the input compressed air to rotate reaching speeds up to 1,000,000 rpm as it is forced down the inner walls of the hot (longer) end of the vortex tube. At the end of the hot tube, a small portion of this air exits through a needle valve as hot air exhaust. The remaining air is forced back through the center of the incoming air stream at a slower speed. The heat in the slower moving air is transferred to the faster moving incoming air. This super-cooled air flows through the center of the generator and exits through the cold air exhaust port.
