NOVACOM Vortex Tube - Compressed air cold air generator

NOVACOM develops and designs vortex effect tubes in France. They are an innovative cold air source, operating on compressed air, with the advantage of mobility, thanks to their magnetic bases.

They are used for cooling, small area or small volume. They can also be connected directly to a pipe for remote use of cold air.

Made of stainless steel, they are composed of several elements, like vortex generators.

NOVACOM offers 4 Vortex generators depending on the desired temperature delta. The generators allow you to adjust the temperature and flow rate of the air flow in the vortex tube.

The incoming compressed air passes through the fixed, streamlined generator, which forces the air to swirl at high speed inside the tube. The air therefore heats up strongly by rubbing the interior walls of the tube! and escapes through the hot air outlet.

The adjustable throttle valve, located at the hot outlet, physically prevents all airflow from escaping. The air is then forced back inside! and is forced to make the opposite path through the center of the cyclone. This flow is driven at a lower speed, and the speed differential causes a significant heat exchange. When the air flow escapes, through the cold outlet of the Vortex tube, it can reach a very low temperature! up to a delta of 40°C, compared to the temperature of the incoming compressed air flow.
