    Vortex tube application question

    Wow, it's nice to know the vortex tube can be made out of plastic. Can plastic ones perform just as good as the metal ones? My application involves a vortex tube powered by a small air tank. The whole system is designed to be portable. It's important that the amount of air be used as...

    Vortex tube application question

    Thanks a lot for the help. I heard vortex tube only requires compressed gas as small as 80 psi. If the device is to be powered by an air tank, the air tank can be refilled at a gas station right? Is the output cold air at atmospheric (ambient) pressure? Can flow rate be adjusted? Thanks...

    Vortex tube application question

    I recently invented a new application for vortex tube. The application requires a very minimal flow of air at freezing temperature. I wonder if it's possible to design a vortex tube at a very small size if only a very tiny air flow is required? Is flow rate proportional to physical size...
