EXAIR Static Eliminators – Anti-Static Solutions for Industrial Use

How Vortex Tubes Work

A Vortex Tube uses nothing but a standard supply of compressed air. Inside the tube, the air is spun at incredibly high speeds, separating into two airstreams, one being hot and other one cold. The cold air is directed exactly where it’s needed, while the hot air is vented away. This process happens instantly, with no electricity, chemicals or refrigerants involved.

By adjusting the control valve on the hot end, you can fine-tune both the cold air temperature and the flow rate. This makes Vortex Tubes extremely versatile and you can set them up for maximum refrigeration output to remove heat quickly, or for lowest possible temperatures for more delicate cooling needs.

EXAIR’s Vortex Tubes and spot cooling solutions are designed to tackle one problem exceptionally well, delivering precisely controlled cold air right where you need it, all without moving parts, liquids or complex machinery. They offer a simple, maintenance free alternative to traditional cooling methods such as fans, refrigerant systems or water based cooling, making them ideal for localised or spot cooling tasks in manufacturing, machining and assembly environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a Vortex Tube actually make cold air?

It’s simpler than most people expect. Standard compressed air if fed into the Vortex Tube, and inside it’s spun at extremely high speed. That air naturally separates into a hot stream and a cold stream. The cold air is directed to your application, while the hot air is vented away. There are no moving parts, no refrigerants, it’s all down to clever design and the physics of air flow.

Can I control the temperature and airflow?

Yes, and that’s one of the great things about these systems. By adjusting the valve on the hot air outlet, you can set the cold air temperature and flow rate to match your job, whether you need maximum refrigeration for fast cooling or the lowest possible temperature for delicate work, you can fine tune it within seconds!

What kinds of jobs are spot coolers best for?

They’re ideal for any application where you need quick, targeted cooling. That could be keeping cutting tools cool during machining, preventing heat damage to parts during welding, cooling down dies or moulds or even protecting sensitive electronics during testing. Because they’re compact and easy to install, they’re often used in places where traditional cooling equipment just won’t fit.

Do they need much maintenance?

In fact, there’s no virtually maintenance required at all. EXAIR Vortex Tubes are made from stainless steel, so they’re tough, corrosion and wear resistant. Since there are no moving parts, there’s nothing to replace or service, just a reliable consistent cooling source for years to come.
