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

• Sleek, modern design
• Noise reduction of 78%, when compared to other vortex enclosure coolers
• Energy use reduction through its integral mechanical thermostat
• Quick and easy installation in about 5 minutes
• 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.

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...

A large ice cream manufacturing plant faced serious heat-related issues with a large Allen-Bradley control panel. The panel frequently overheated during the summer, resulting in shutdowns which caused massive loss of production. The plant maintenance supervisor estimated that for every hour of shutdown, the food manufacturer lost $10,000 in potential revenue...
