Vortec Cooling Tubes

Workers in extreme temperatures wear Vortec Cooling Tubes to minimize heat stress and fatigue. The Vortec Cooling Tubes improve comfort and productivity by using a belt with an attached cooling tube that generates cold air to provide air flow to the worker. Overview: Vortec Cooling Tubes are available in two cooling capacities; 1500 BTUh and 2500 BTUh. Both models can achieve temperature differentials of +/- 45 to 60 °F from the inlet compressed air temperature using vortex tube technology. These models are adjustable by the worker using an integral temperature adjustment knob. How It Works: Vortec Cooling Tubes use filtered compressed air and vortex tube technology to generate cold air used for personal cooling applications. Inside the cooling tube, a vortex tube spins the supplied compressed air, separating it into hot and cold air streams. The cold air is delivered to the Cooling Vest via a ducting tube, while the hot air exits out the other end of the PAC through a hot end muffler. Benefits: Improves worker safety Minimizes temperature-related stress and fatigue Maximizes comfort and productivity in extreme temperatures Provides necessary cooling without additional technical problems or bulky systems Features: Provide continuous, consistent cooling, unlike ice or gel packs Can be worn under other protective clothing Has easy temperature adjustment by user, even with gloved hands Two cooling capacities available All Cooling Tubes have 1/4″ compressed air quick connect and 3/4″ garden hose thread for discharge of air to vest.
