Compressed Air Enclosure Cooling

Air conditioners utilizing thermoelectric coolers are often considered as an alternative to conventional vapor compression systems for enclosure cooling.

Compressed air enclosure cooling. Often used in low noise environments such as labs and clean rooms these are quieter than standard enclosure cooling vortex tubes. They convert compressed air into a stream of cold air to keep electronics within enclosures from overheating while also keeping dust and other contaminants out. The resulting cooling is quite dramatic with ambient compressed air entering the tube and the split air having a temperature difference of over 130 degree c in some cases. Thanks to the mechanical thermostat there is no need to provide electricity to a thermostat or hook up a solenoid valve.

These vortex tubes chill compressed air by 50 f or more. A vortex enclosure cooler converts factory compressed air into filtered cooled air without electricity or refrigerant. Easily mounted in a standard electrical knockout a vortex enclosure cooler can quickly be connected to an air line for an immediate supply of cool clean air with no rf interference. In addition to refrigerants these air conditioners also use compressors evaporators condensers and fans to provide cooling.

The efc combines a photoelectric sensor with a timing control that limits compressed air use by turning it off when no part is present. At the cool end of the vortex tube air flows as cool as minus 50 degree c can be achieved. Vortex coolers are used where compressed air is available from another part of the factory. Compressor based air conditioners rely on chemical refrigerants to remove heat from electronic electrical enclosures.

A vortex a c can be installed on a standard enclosure in about 5 minutes. Enclosure cooling vortex tubes vortex tubes convert compressed air into a stream of cold air to keep electronics within enclosures from overheating while also keeping dust and other contaminants out. This cold air can then be applied to cool whatever is required. Set the thermostat and the tubes switch on only when needed.

They are good for low to moderate cooling from 400 to 5 000 btu and where emi rfi must be minimized. Vortec s line of vortex a c enclosure coolers provide our customers with many advantages one of which is quick and easy installation. They include a ducting kit to distribute cool air throughout the enclosure. And avoid contamination with dirty humid air caused by fans.
