OverviewThe Cold Gun Aircoolant System™ (single cold outlet) delivers a continuous stream of clean, cold air approximately 54°F (30°C) below supply air temperature using vortex cooling. Available in standard and High Power versions. The system is quiet, has no moving parts, and is portable with a magnetic base. It removes heat where liquid coolant is impractical, extending tool life and improving productivity while avoiding costs and safety issues associated with liquid coolants and mist systems.

How it works (summary)The Cold Gun uses a vortex tube to split compressed supply air into hot and cold low-pressure streams. Secondary air is drawn in; the hot stream exhausts through a hot air outlet and the cold stream is delivered through the flexible hose to the point of use. Magnetic base allows quick mounting and repositioning.
Other considerations- Designed for full line pressure of 80–100 PSIG (5.5–6.9 BAR); reduced temperature drop and flow at lower pressures.
- Clean, filtered compressed air is essential; a filter separator that removes moisture, dirt and particulates is included. Optional oil removal filter available.
- Cycling or solenoid control can save compressed air; a manual shutoff valve is recommended for on/off control.
