Keep Electrical Enclosures Cool, Clean, & Protected

Vortex A/C Coolers incorporate the most up-to-date features into Vortec’s line of highly reliable, cost effective enclosure cooling systems.

  1. Sleek, modern design
  2. Noise reduction of 78%, when compared to other vortex enclosure coolers
  3. Energy use reduction through its integral mechanical thermostat
  4. Quick and easy installation in about 5 minutes
  5. Flexible installation: top, side or front (door) mount

The Vortex A/C is available in four different cooling capacities, and ratings of NEMA 12, NEMA 4/4X.

All of Vortec’s Enclosure Air Conditioning units keep Electrical and Electronic Enclosures cool, clean and protected and are a low cost alternative to expensive, high maintenance air conditioners; and avoid contamination with dirty, humid air caused by fans.

Today’s small, compact multi-function electronic controls, variable speed drives, servos and programmable logic controllers are extremely sensitive to heat and contamination. Smaller cabinet sizes make temperature control difficult and prone to premature failures. Excessive heat will cause digital displays to misread, controls to drift, and breakers to trip below rated loads. The result is productivity lost due to machine or line shutdowns.

Vortex cabinet air conditioners maintain a slight pressurization in the cabinet to keep electrical and electronic components clean and dry; and most are thermostatically controlled to maintain enclosure temperatures within a specified temperature range.

Benefits

  1. Thermostatically controlled to maintain enclosure temperatures within ideal range
  2. Highly reliable, with full 10 year warranty

  5. Easy to install, takes about 5 minutes
  6. No wiring required to install
  7. Operates in environments up to 175 deg F
  8. Low cost, compared to Freon air conditioners
  9. Reduce operating cost with mechanical thermostat turning the unit on only when necessary
  10. Very quiet, 62 dBA operation, 78% quieter than typical vortex coolers
  11. Multiple cooling capacities available, to optimize performance and operating cost

Features

  1. Small footprint to fit on all enclosures and in confined areas
  2. Top, side or front (door) mount models available
  3. Maintain temperature between 75 - 90 deg F
  4. Supplied with air filter and ducting kit
  5. Maintains slight pressurization in the enclosure
  6. UL Listed

Case Studies

Vortex Cooling Ensure Low Cabinet Humidity
Company Overview Titan Sales and Consulting was established in 2002 in a small garage in Elkhart, Indiana, by Tobin Goode. Now Titan is a market leader in the adhesives, bonding, and sealing markets and has grown into a 2.4 million cubic foot corporate facility with 25 associates. They also are a converter of foam tapes and other bonding materials.

The Challenge Titan purchases large "logs" of foam tape with a self-adhesive backing and slits them into narrower widths to meet their customer's requirements. A water-based mist is used as a lubricant on the slitting machines. The controls for the slitting machines had fans installed to keep the electronics cool. In the summer months, the fans simply pulled hot and humid mist-laden air into the control panels causing the A/C drives and power supplies to short out. This forced production to stop and deliveries to be delayed until the controls could be repaired.

The Solution Kosanke and his crew of aviation maintenance experts have been using Vortec products to accomplish this job for over ten years. “We used to use other vacuums,” says the Maintenance Supervisor, “but they were not as reliable. Washing a plane is a big job and we handle several planes a week here. The other products we used previously couldn’t stand up to this kind of work. We used to have a lot of issues with other companies’ industrial wet vacs breaking down all the time.

Jeff, the systems and process manager at Titan, contacted Vortec and spoke with an application engineer. Together they determined the total heat load in the enclosure based on Jeff's inputs and compressed air conditions. The Vortex A/C 7715 NEMA 4/4X enclosure cooler was the best solution, a model that uses 15 scfm of compressed air to produce 900 btuh of cooling and required no electricity to operate. A built-in mechanical thermostat keeps the enclosure temperature between 80 and 90°F (27 to 32°C). In addition to cooling the panel, the 7715 also provides slight pressurization when operating to keep humid air, mist, and other contaminants out of the enclosure and from ruining the electronics inside.

The Result Jeff purchased the Vortex A/C 7715 and installed it on the first slitting machine control. Only a 1-1/2" knockout hole (a 1-15/16" or 49mm diameter hole) in the enclosure was required to mount the Vortex A/C, making the installation quick and easy. He removed the existing fan from the control and blocked off the openings. Although the 7715 is self-venting (to prevent over-pressurization), Jeff installed a secondary vent to monitor the air's temperature and humidity exiting the enclosure. The results were immediate: the enclosure's relative humidity dropped from 55% to 10%, and the temperature stayed between 78 to 82°F (26 to 28°C). Since Jeff installed the first 7715, he has ordered six more to install on Titan's other control panels.

How it Works The Vortex A/C uses compressed air and vortex tube technology to create clean, dry, low-pressure cold air to cool the electronic enclosure. The Vortex A/C utilizes a built-in non-adjustable mechanical thermostat to monitor the temperature inside an enclosure. The thermostat regulates an air valve to the vortex cooler to keep the enclosure's temperature between 80 and 90°F (27 to 32°C). There are vents built into the Vortex A/C that vent the cooling air out of the enclosure after it has lost its refrigeration (so that the enclosure is not over-pressurized). The cold air pressurizes the enclosure slightly to keep any contaminants or humidity out of the enclosure. All models can be mounted on the top or side of an enclosure and install in a matter of minutes. All Vortex A/C models are UL Listed and rated UL Type 4/4X. They are available in cooling capacities from 900 to 5000 btuh (263 to 1465 watts). Vortec also offers UL Type 12, HazLoc, and ATEX enclosure coolers.
