Benefits of Choosing a Vortex A/C vs. Standard Vortex Tube Cooler
10/17/2022Vortec EngineerKeeping your electrical enclosures cool, clean, and protected is an imperative maintenance task to ensure your enclosures maintain their operational effectiveness and to avoid unplanned downtime in your manufacturing plant. A common low-cost cooling alternative is to use compressed air with vortex tube coolers to maintain a low internal temperature in enclosures...
Vortec and Holland BPW’s Compressed Air Maintenance Program Help Manufacturers Reduce Energy Usage
9/22/2022Vortec EngineerIn an effort to reduce energy consumption in the manufacturing industry, Holland Michigan’s Board of Public Works (HBPW) is offering generous incentives for local manufacturers to review their current compressed air usage and make updates that can significantly reduce energy usage and costs. Holland is home to many automobile supply chain manufacturers and other large industrial customers that use substantial amounts of compressed air in their day-to-day operations.

Upgraded Comfort with an Upgraded Design: The New Vortec Cooling Vest
4/20/2022Vortec EngineerWith temperatures beginning to rise as we get closer to summer, it is important to make sure your employees are protected from heat-related illness in hot work environments. Personal cooling products can largely help in minimizing heat stress and fatigue. To keep employees comfortable, safe, and productive, employers turn to the newly designed Vortec Cooling Vests. Â
Keeping it Cool with Vortex
2/15/2022Vortec EngineerThermal testing has proven that natural convection cooling is not adequate for today’s smaller, high power density enclosures. Heat dissipation by forced convection (fan cooling) is the most frequently used method of cooling. Forced air-cooling systems can provide heat transfer rates that are ten times greater than those achievable with natural convection and radiation, but even this is not adequate to cool faster electronic components when they are located in hostile plant environments.
