9. Bedienungsanleitung VORTEX 14 KP / Operating Manual VORTEX 14 KP
The VORTEX 14 KP provides a cold airflow commonly used for spot cooling.
At the heart of the VORTEX 14 KP is the Vortex Tube which is encased in a hot and cold end silencer. Cold air produced by the Vortex is directed to specific area
through knuckle trucking. Hot air is then vented through two holes located in the silencer.
The cold air temperature can be as low as 50°C below the inlet air temperature and be maintained to +/- 0.6°C.
VORTEX 14 KP have no moving parts and so are intrinsically safe. They require virtually no maintenance which makes them ideal for harsh environments.
All products are packed carefully at our factory. Nevertheless, we recommend careful examination of the carton and contents for any damage.
To protect yourself and others when using compressed air, you should be aware of the following general safety guide lines:
- Warning – When compressed air is misused, it can cause serious injury or even death.
- Never point an air hose at anyone in fun or to remove dirt from clothing or the body.
- Never use compressed air without adequate eye and ear protection. Use safety glasses with side shields or goggles and ear protectors.
- Before attempting to disconnect a hose from an airline, the air should be cut off, and the remaining air bled from the line.
- Keep air hoses off the floor where they become tripping hazards and are subject to damage by vehicles, doors, and dropped tools. If possible, suspend air hoses
from overhead. Please be aware of the following safety guidelines:
Please be aware of the following Safety guidelines specific to the Coldstream Gun:
- Do not operate the Coldstream Gun at compressed air pressures above 11 Bar (160 psi)
- All Coldstream Guns create both hot and cold air so parts of the unit will become hot.
- Compressed Air Temperature must not exceed 55°C.
- Ambient operating temperature can not drop lower than -10°C.
- Ambient operating temperatures must not exceed 66°C.
- Compressed air temperature must not exceed 55°C.
9.1 Safety and Inspection
The VORTEX 14 KP has no moving parts, making them virtually maintenance free. Clean and dry compressed air moving through the VORTEX 14 KP will not cause
wear on any of the components. Occasionally dirt, water or oil may enter the VORTEX 14 KP from the compressed air supply, which could hinder performance. If
this happens simply take the unit apart, clean the parts with soapy water, allow drying time and then reassemble. When reassembling ensure you tighten all the
components. If the parts are not tightened performance may be affected.
9.2 Maintenance
It is recommended to use a 5-micron (or smaller) filter to remove water and dirt from the compressed air supply.
A 5 micron filter will remove 99% of foreign material from the air supply; the use of an oil filter with an effective filtration of 0.01 ppm will remove the oil droplets
for an even cleaner compressed air supply. Failure to use a filter may cause clogging and/or freezing of the compressed air line and the components within the
VORTEX 14 KP. When the temperature of the compressed air within the VORTEX 14 KP reaches 0°C the water vapour in the air will start to freeze. This could
potentially cause a problem with ice clogging the orifices of the VORTEX 14 KP. In this instance an air dryer must be used to lower the dew point and keep water
vapour out of the air line. A dryer rated at 19°C will produce a dew point low enough to eliminate the water vapour freezing.
9.3 Compressed Air Supply
Figuring the correct pipe size for your compressed air system is an important task. Pipe that is sized too small can create big pressure losses and reduce operating
efficiency.
Many people who plan the piping never consider the fittings or the future.
FITTINGS: Every pipe fitting creates a certain amount of increased frictional air loss that is equal to a specified length of pipe. Any turns in the pipe at fittings, ells,
tees, and valves increase pressure drops even more.
FUTURE: Are you planning to add more equipment in the next year or two? Then plan for larger piping now. Since the material costs in piping are low compared
to installation or replacement cost, it’s wise to select pipe of an adequate size. If there is any doubt that a pipe size may create a pressure drop, use the next lar-
gest size. Remember that an oversize pipe compensates for possible scale build-up and provides for future expansion of the overall air system.
