Vortex tube devices are mechanical devices. The vortex tube works on the phenomenon referred to as temperature (energy) separation and is a non-conventional cooling system. The absence of moving components increases reliability, reduction in maintenance, and an increase of system life, with air as a working fluid, avoids dangerous environmental leakages. This article begins with a brief overview of vortex tube devices, construction, and operation. A review of recent developments in research, commercial developments, and typical applications of vortex tubes has been done. The article concludes the growth and potential use of vortex tube devices suitable for vortex tube cooling. |
