ITW Vortec - Vortex A/C
Avoid any downtime, with the most affordable, reliable, and easiest to install thermal protection product available for electrical enclosures!
Just as quiet as an air conditioner (about 62 dBA), the Vortex A/C noise level is 93% less than other conventional, vortex type cabinet coolers. When the thermostatically- controlled Vortex A/C is operating, the decibel level is about the same The all-new alternative to expensive air conditioners for electrical enclosures. as normal human conversation! This next generation, Vortex Cooler features an integral mechanical thermostat to conserve energy and maintain enclosure temperatures within a range of 80° to 90°F. Requiring only a compressed air supply to operate, the UL listed Vortex A/C quickly installs in a 1.5” knockout hole to keep electrical control panels cool, clean and protected.
ITW Vortec's Vortex Cooler Enclosure Coolers are the affordable, low maintenance, easy to install alternitive for keeping enclosures cool and clean without Freon or other refrigerants.
Vortex A/C - When the going gets tough...
Using vortex tube technology, cold air is generated by the Vortex A/C from the compressed air supply and is distributed throughout the enclosure. Since ambient air never enters the cabinet, it’s perfect for harsh, dirty environments. In fact, the Vortex A/C features an optional “purge-air” port that, when opened, will provide a constant positive pressure inside the enclosure to purge the cabinet of any contaminated surrounding air. Withstanding extreme temperature conditions, the Vortex A/C will provide reliable cooling operation in environments up to
175°F (79°C).
Its cooling capacity can handle the thermal management requirements of all sizes of enclosures. The compact size and light weight of the Vortex A/C makes it perfect for operator interface panels and pendant arm enclosures.
All Vortex A/C models come as a complete system, and include a cold air ducting kit, cold end muffler, and 5-micron Auto-Drain compressed air filter. Confident in the quality and reliability of Vortec products, we extend an unparalleled, 10-Year Warranty on the Vortex A/C.
