STREAMTEK Corp. - Vortex tube

Welcome to Streamtek Corp. in this video we will look at our Vortex tube. Visit stream-tek.com/vortex-tube/ for more info. The Streamtek vortex tube is a compact pneumatic product designed to separate regular compressed air into cold and hot air streams. Vortex tubes are powered entirely by compressed air, eliminating the need for dangerous refrigerant or freon gases to be used. With cooling capacities of up to 2800 BTUs and temperature drops up to 78°, Streamtek Vortex tubes provide the perfect solution for quick and effective spot cooling in numerous industrial applications.
How does a Streamtek Vortex tube work ?
1. Compressed air enters the vortex tube at a standard NPT inlet port and travels through the vortex generator into the spin chamber.
2. Inside the spin chamber, the air stream spins at up to one million revolutions per minute, which separates it into hot and cold air.
3. Hot air, being lighter in weight, is pushed to the outside wall of the spin chamber, meanwhile cold air, being heavier in weight, remains in the center.
4. Hot air exits the vortex tube at one end, while cold air exits at the opposite end.
Streamtek Vortex tubes can be used in various cooling applications, some of which include :
Cooling welded parts
Cooling objects on a conveyor
Cooling saw blades
Streamtek vortex tubes are offered in aluminum or stainless steel material and capacities ranging from 2 to 40 SCFM.

Linus Tech Tips and recommends brought me here

[@timeimp]

Thanks to LTT for sponsoring this video 🤣

[@Esablaka]

LTT brought me here.

[@thomaskerslack4299]

Hell yeah bro same. Still black magic

[@TheMelbournelad]

Who else had this recommended after watching Linus Tech Tips video?

[@neohippyfreetheworld3398]

I searched it right after 🤣

[@gabrielpichorim8191]

This is magic for me

[@nick4819]

I used a similiar vortex tube in a sand blasting suit during the summer....let me tell you...they work. I was actually a little chilly in the suit while everyone standing around not doing anything was sweating their asses off lol

[@ug1730]

The suit? How did you make one? Do you know how we can make one? any online resource.?

[@nick4819]

@@ug1730 I don't know where to begin on making one but you can google "Sand blasting suits" and find the full body suit. Just make sure the helmets(almost all of them have it) have air hookups so you can run a line from your vortex tube to your helm. The cool air blows into your helm and down into your suit. You'd be surprised at how cool you would stay just having cool air in your helmet.

@@nick4819 Great thanks.

[@InFAMOUSPS4_19]

LTT brought me here, you should work with those guys

[@brainblast9]

Awsome information about vortex tube.

[@streamtek]

Thank you!

0:59 "Hot air, being lighter in weight than cold air, is pushed to the outside wall of the spin chamber".....
By lighter you surely mean less dense, but wouldnt the more dense cold air get forced against the wall "harder" than the hot? Basically, the dense cold air should push the less dense hot air out of the way?

[@PrIsMaTiSmX]

This is why I stopped watching. It seems no one can describe how a vortex tube works without saying something nonsensical like "more dense air doesn't get flung to the outside" , lol

[@ReefMonkey]

@@PrIsMaTiSmXNope it makes sense. The vortex doesn’t have enough centrifugal force to throw the “heavier” cold air to the outside. Unlike the “lighter” hot air.

[@PrIsMaTiSmX]

@@ReefMonkey well that's exactly it though. Without knowing the dynamic properties of the fluid, it would be near impossible to tell whether centerfugal force, or shear air pressure would be driving factors of this mechanism. Not sure why you say it does make sense. You know that hot air rises, you know hot air is less dense, so what is intuitive about hot air being on the outermost part of an 'artificial gravity' with respect to the air particles?? Because that's essentially exactly what is being generated.

[@GasyrbekRakhimzhanov]

Good afternoon, everyone! How and where can I get the drawings of the vortex tube for manufacturing?

[@webtuts9452]

Thanks (Y)

[@streamtek]

Your welcome!

[@user-12345ma]

How much vortex tupe ?

[@shadabahmad109]

Can we made it by PVC ??

[@cbggb7761]

Then your plastic melting

[@xer2964]

Still don't understand lmao
