Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to improve the efficiency of rapid cooling for precision machinery or electronic devices without causing environmental pollution. The objective is achieved through a vortex tube configuration with at least two generators generating rapid rotating wind, which are partitioned by a sleeve to lower the temperature of discharged cold air. The vortex tube also includes an outer tube cover with a compressed air inlet and pre-cooling of the cold and heat separation chamber, as well as a counterflow prevention cap to prevent hot air from being discharged from the outside of the vortex tube.

Problems solved by technology

However, although the vortex tube has been developed for over 150 years and has various uses, there have not been many attempts to improve the performance of the product by changing the structure thereof.
The above problem is caused from reasons such that the vortex tube is not composed of many elements and the principle thereof is still not clearly known.

Embodiment Construction

[0030]In the following description, “cold ratio” is the ratio of the amount of air exiting a cold side to the amount of supplied compressed air. When the cold ratio is 40%, the ratio of the amount of the compressed air consumption to the amount of cold side discharged air is 100:40.

[0031]“Rapid rotating wind” means rotating air generated such that compressed air is supplied into a vortex tube through a pipe and is primarily supplied into a vortex (swirl) chamber to be rotated at an ultra-high velocity of about 1,000,000 RPM. The rapid rotating wind is referred to as “vortex” or “cyclone”. These terms have the same meaning.

[0032]In the following description, the structural or functional description specified to exemplary embodiments according to the concept of the present disclosure is intended to describe the exemplary embodiments, so it should be understood that the present disclosure may be variously embodied.

[0033]It should be understood that the exemplary embodiments according t...

Abstract

A vortex tube according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a cold and heat separation chamber; a cold air outlet provided at an end of the cold and heat separation chamber, a generator provided between the cold air outlet and the cold and heat separation chamber, a hot air outlet provided at another end of the cold and heat separation chamber and including a hot air adjusting valve, and an outer tube cover having a compressed air inlet and surrounding the cold and heat separation chamber at a predetermined gap while blocking the cold and heat separation chamber at an outside thereof, so that introduced compressed air can be supplied into the generator, wherein the compressed air flowing through the compressed air inlet generates rapid rotating wind by passing through the generator to be moved into the cold and heat separation chamber to separate cold and heat from each other.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS AND CLAIM OF PRIORITY[0001]This application claims benefit under 35 U.S.C. 119(e), 120, 121, or 365(c), and is a National Stage entry from International Application No. PCT / KR2020 / 014715, filed Oct. 27, 2020, which claims priority to the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2020-0106553 filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Aug. 24, 2020, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND1. Technical Field[0002]The present disclosure relates to a vortex tube and, more particularly, to a vortex tube having at least two generators to have improved performance when compared to a conventional vortex tube.2. Background Art[0003]The vortex tube (which is also called Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube) separates compressed air into a hot flow and a cold flow. When the compressed air is injected toward a swirl chamber, the air is accelerated and rotated at a high velocity. Only air rotated outside the tube is disc...
