REDUCES HEAT STRESS
February 1st 2007

Personal air conditioners has been introduced by Vortech UK to minimise heat stress and fatigue and help improve employee comfort.

The products use filtered compressed air and vortex tube technology. With no moving parts, the vortex tube forces a simple heat exchange to separate compressed air into hot and cold airstreams.

The cold airstream is delivered to the vest via a ducting tube, while hot air exits out of the side of the PAC unit.

The small vortex tube, worn on a supplied belt, is connected to a Diffuse-Air- Vest which distributes continuous cooled air through its perforated inner lining over the upper body. Temperature is adjusted easily to ±60°F above or below the inlet temperature.
