VORTEX TUBE TEST RIG

VORTEX TUBE TEST RIG

The Vortex Tube Test Rig is one of the non- conventional methods of cooling which has no moving parts. It requires only source of compressed air. Through this tube, when air is admitted at high pressure, from one end, hot sir is discharged and from the other end, cold air comes out. The test rig is designed such that all the performance can be evaluated.

CUSTOMER SCOPE
Electrical power point 230 volts, 50 HZ, 1 ph, with 16 amps MCB.
Clear space of 3 m x 2 m.
Compressed air supply at 5 bar & 50 CFM

LIST OF EXPERIMENTS
• To understand the principle of working Vortex Tube.
• To evaluate Adiabatic Efficiency of the system.
• To evaluate C.O.P. of the system.
• To find out Refrigeration Effect per kg of air supplied.
