INTRODUCTION
A vortex tube is device without moving the mechanical parts
which converts the gas flow in initially homogeneous in
temperature, in to separate flow of different temperatures.
This device was described by Ranque (1933) and examined
experimentally in the 1940’s by Hilsch (1940). The vortex
tube requires no work or heat.

CONSTRUCTION
Pressure gauge
Spinner
Hot pipe
Cold pipe
Thermo meter
Magnetic stand

PRESSURE GAUGE
The function of pressure gauge in vortex tube to the
measured inlet pressure of air.

SPINNER
The function of the spinner is to convert the normal flow of
the air to the radial flow.
FORNT SIDE

It is used for flow the hot pressurized air. It is manufactured of
Brass.
Hot pipe:
Cold pipe:
Cold pipe is a flexible pipe in which cold pressurized air
flows. It is manufactured of fiber

HOT PIPE
COLD PIPE

Thermometer is a device it to be measured
temperature.
in vortex tube, it is used to measure the temperature of
hot and cold air.

MAGNETIC STAND
Basically, magnetic stand is used to hold the vortex tube and
a magnet is fixed on the base of the stand with a

WORKING
Compressed air is passed through the nozzle, vortex flow
is created in the chamber and air travels in spiral like
motion along the periphery of the hot side. , air stream
through the core gets cooled below the inlet temperature
of the air in the vortex tube, while air stream in forward
direction get s heated up. The cold stream is escaped
through the diaphragm hole into the cold side,

while hot stream is passed through the opening of the
valve.
By controlling the opening of the valve, the quantity of
the cold air and its temperature can be varied.

EXPERIMENTAL SETUP

Experimental setup consist of compressor vortex
tube and temperature indicator. The inlet
pressure is measured using the pressure gauge. the
temperature of the at cold end, at hot end and
ambient air are measured using thermocouple.

VORTEX TUBE ASSEMBLY

EXPECTED OUTCOMES
Digital flow signal Wire rangibility
No zero drift Low pressure drop
Pulse outcome for totalizing Liquid stream or gas
Applications
Low installed cost

FACILITIES REQUIRED
Proper Vortex Sizing
Process conditions
Piping requirements
Full pipe
Good alignment of piping
Concentric Reducers if required

ADVANTAGES OF VORTEX TUBE
•No moving parts, maintenance free, high reliability
•Output easily controlled
•Constant temperature
•No electricity or RF interference
•Intrinsically safe
•No refrigerant or chemicals
•Effective spot cooling
•Low cost
•Compact, lightweight

APPLICATION
1)Vortex tubes are extremely small and as it produce hot as well as
cold air. It may be of use in industries where both are
simultaneously required.
2) Temperature as low as –500C can be obtained without any
difficulty, so it is very much useful in industries for spot cooling of
electronic components.
3) It is commonly used for body cooling of the workers in mines.
4) Grinding operation

CONCLUSION
A simple model of the vortex tube is described that
captures the physics related to one possible operating
mechanism. The model is shown to faithfully reproduce
a limited set of data if two empirical parameters are
adjusted. The semi-empirical model is subsequently used
to evaluate the potential performance benefit associated
with replacing the throttling valve in a refrigeration
system with an appropriately optimized vortex tube.
