Vortec compressed air cooling systems enhance productivity, prevent equipment overheating, and improve operational efficiency in cooling, cleaning and conveying
​
Control panels are designed to house and protect electrical components for powering and controlling industrial, HVAC, and other equipment. When the temperature in a control panel rises above the manufacturer’s rated temperature for one or more of the components, there is a danger of decreased efficiency, damage to equipment and ultimately breakdown of the system. Excessive heat will cause digital displays to misread, controls to drift, and breakers to trip below rated loads. The result is productivity loss from machine or line shutdowns. Therefore, it is important to prioritize preventative maintenance on these cabinets in addition to machinery maintenance. Vortec(USA) offers multiple types of enclosure cooling systems to meet your electronics enclosures cool, clean and protected - all available in a variety of cooling capacities and hazardous locations; ATEX, IECEx & UL certified models. ​​

Vortex Coolers & Panel Guards
Standard Vortex Coolers are available in NEMA 12, NEMA 4, and NEMA 4X versions, and can be purchased with an electric thermostat or without a thermostat (constant run). The electrical cabinet cooling thermostat model maintains tight control on the temperature setpoint of +/- 3 deg F. Vortex electric enclosure cooling systems are available in cooling capacities ranging from 400 BTU/hr to 5000 BTU/hr.
​
Panel Guard Enclosure Coolers enhance the benefits of Vortex coolers for enclosure cooling by adding a mechanical thermostat for optimum temperature control without the need for wiring. Panel Guard Enclosure Coolers are available in 3 different cooling capacities and are rated for NEMA 4 enclosures.
​
Vortex Enclosure Coolers maintain a slight pressurization in the cabinet to keep electrical and electronic components clean and dry; and most are thermostatically controlled to maintain enclosure temperatures within a specified temperature range.
Vortex Tubes & Other Applications
Vortex tubes produce up to 6000 BTU/hr (1757 watts) of refrigeration and temperatures as low as -40 deg to solve a variety of industrial spot cooling and process cooling needs. With no moving parts, a vortex tube is highly reliable and inexpensive; and requires no electrical connection at the cooling site. Vortex tubes cool instantly, relying on compressed air spinning in the tube to separate the air into cold and hot air streams.
​
Vortex tubes are a compact source of refrigeration and cooling, offering the lowest cost per unit of refrigeration of any cooling technique, are fully adjustable and easily moved from site to site as needed. And while normally used for cooling, vortex tubes can also be used for heating applications, merely by channeling the exhaust hot air to the application.
​
Cold Air Guns use vortex tube technology and filtered compressed air to produce sub-freezing air as low as -30 deg F for numerous industrial spot cooling applications. They are most often used for cooling of metal parts, in the machining and repair of metals, plastics, wood, ceramics and other materials. Cold air machining outperforms mist coolants and substantially increases tool life and feed rates on dry machining operations. The effective air cooling from a cold air gun is an energy saver and can improve part's tolerance and surface finish quality.
​
The Dual Force Vac System is a convenient and versatile solution for liquid material handling and spill clean up. Using powerful Transvector technology, the Dual Force Vac Drum Pump can either fill or discharge a 55-gallon drum in under two minutes. It switches easily -- with a 1/4 turn of a knob -- from fill to discharge mode. And the 55 gallon drum vacuum pump can handle viscous liquids and particulates. Quiet and safe, the Dual Force Vac is air-powered with no moving parts, meaning no motor burn out and no shock hazard. It quickly installs on a 55 gallon drum and comes with a 10 foot hose and nozzle.
​
The Vortec Thread Guard Needle Cooler was designed specifically for industrial sewing applications. It keeps needles cool to reduce heat-related needle breakage and thread burning. The air stream is especially effective on difficult sewing surfaces such as belt loops and waist bands; or on tough materials like denim or canvas. Cold air temperature and flow rate are preset to 10 deg F (-12 deg C) and 4 scfm (113 slpm).
