DescriptionVortex tubes are tubular devices with no moving parts capable of generating small volumes of cold and hot air through thermal separation when supplied with compressed gas. They are used in process industries to cool or heat small objects and localized surfaces. The device requires no electrical power, has no moving parts and is compact and lightweight. Manufactured in stainless steel and compatible with non-corrosive gases, UEE vortex tubes from PNR Italia are subjected to functional tests in our laboratories to verify performance.
