How Does a Vortex Tube Work?
| Case Study
Air Gun Technical Data
Using only compressed air, the Air Gun produces a stream of cold air
75°F (41°C) below your compressed air temperature @ 80 psi. Since compressed
air supply temperature is very close to the ambient , a 75°F day would
yield a cold stream of air from the AiRTX Air Gun of 0°F (-18°C). It’s
clean, convenient –– put the gun where you need it, using the magnetic
base –– aim the cold air stream onto your work with the flexible hose
–– go to work! The Air Guns are heavy-duty, built for the rigors of
factory-floor service. Made of heavy-gauge Stainless Steel, they are
precision-machined, assembled and tested under strict quality control.
They will never pit or rust when subjected to coolants, water, or other
corrosive materials.
The Stainless Steel Air Gun is an applied Vortex Tube to accommodate
factory compressed air supplies. The Air Guns are designed to provide
maximum cooling. The unit is factory set to put 70% of the incoming
compressed air at your disposal for spot cooling. The volume of air
can be changed by replacing the 15 cfm generator installed in the unit
with any one of the generators that are included with your Air Gun.
The higher cfm generator will provide you with more volume of cooling
but a slightly higher temperature. The temperature of the air will increase
5° Fahrenheit for each of the generators from the 10 cfm generator.
The volume of cold air will remain at 70% of the incoming compressed
air. The adjustable Models 60051 and 60061 can change the cold volume
from the constant 70% by turning the black end knob. Maximum cold air
is at 4 1/2 turns ccw from the closed position, producing a 20% cold
air flow or cold fraction.
COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY
Air supplies are plagued with condensed water vapor and droplets in
the air lines. This condensation leads to rust and dirt in the air lines.
Also, some compressors will allow oil or oil vapor to enter the air
lines.
A 5-micron air-water filter, Model 90175, will separate 99% of the foreign
material from the air supply, allowing virtually maintenance free operation.
The use of an oil filter, Model 91175, with an effective filtration
of 0.01 ppm will remove the oil droplets for a cleaner air supply.
COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY LINE SIZE
To obtain maximum performance from the AiRTX products,accurate measures
of air pressure (psi) and air volume (scfm) must be obtained. Line pressure
of 70-90 psi can be present without a sufficient volume (cfm) of air.
To ensure that both pressure and volume are present to efficiently operate
the AiRTX products, a line size of 1/4" pipe or 1/2" hose should be
used for applications up to 10 ft. from the main compressed air header.
Use 3/8" pipe and 3/4" hose up to 20 ft. and 1/2" pipe or 1" hose up
to 50 ft. from the header.

Uses for AiRTX Air Guns
- Cool manufacturing processes: machining plastics or metals,
wood working, soldering, adhesive application, heat sealing, sewing
needles, mold tooling and many others.
- In the laboratory: cool and dehumidify gas samples, cool environmental
chambers.
- “Temperature cycle” electronic components, instruments, switches
and thermostats.
- Air condition electronic control enclosures: CNC cabinets, industrial
PCs, PLCs and motor controls.
- Generate hot air to +230°F (+110°C), without a spark or explosion
hazard to soften plastic, melt glues and seal packaging.
- Cool workers wearing protective gear.
|
- No moving parts, portable, lightweight and low cost.
- Uses no electricity, freon or chemicals; just filtered, factory
compressed air.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does it work?
The Air Gun is an applied use of the vortex tube. The stainless steel Cold Gun is an industrial ready- to- use tool. It has a magnetic base to attach to machines, a 12” Flex-Line to direct the cold air from the gun to your application, a muffler to reduce noise level, and various stationary generators to change the cold air flows for your particular use. Being made of stainless steel insures long lasting durability from cutting oils or hazardous chemicals.
What are the differences in the various models?
They all produce cold air, but some are adjustable, and some are bigger or smaller for hard to get to places or used where less cold air is needed. The most versatile model is the 60040. It handles all the various sized generators for different volumes of cold air and does not need adjusting.
