Vortex tubes
Discover our vortex tubes to create a source of cold or hot air.
What is a vortex tube ?
A vortex tube is an innovative pneumatic device that uses only compressed air to simultaneously generate a stream of cold air and a stream of hot air. With no moving parts and no chemical refrigerants, it provides a reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solution for spot cooling.

How vortex tubes work
Compressed air is injected tangentially into a cylindrical chamber, creating a high-speed swirling motion. This phenomenon, known as the vortex effect, separates the air into two distinct streams :
- Hot stream : expelled from one end of the tube
- Cold stream : directed toward the opposite end
A control valve allows the adjustment of the proportion of hot air being vented, enabling precise control over the temperature and flow rates of the output streams.
