Vortex tube refrigeration

Answer :

Vortex tube refrigeration

Working: - Vortex tube is simple device of producing cold. A compressed air is passed tangentially through nozzle. Here air velocity increases due to expansion and particular shape of nozzle. A vortex flow is created in the chamber and air flows in spiral motion along periphery of hot side. This flow is restricted by valve. If the pressure of air near valve is increased by partly closing of valve, a reversed axial flow through the core of hot side starts from high pressure to low pressure region. During this process, energy transfer takes place between reversed stream and forward stream through the core gets cooled below the inlet temperature of the air in the vortex tube while air stream in forward direction gets heated. The cold stream is escaped through the diaphragm hole into the cold side, while hot stream is passed through the opening valve.
