Cold Air Gun Working Principle

Looking through the enco catalog i see a cold air gun coolant system for dry machining.

Cold air gun working principle.

How does this. With no moving parts to wear out cold air guns require no electricity at the target just a. Cold air machining eliminates mist coolants and heat related parts growth while improving tool life parts tolerance and surface finish quality. The user pumps up the gun or uses some type of air charger to create a huge amount of air pressure in the tank.

They have no moving parts for a long service life. An air gun or airgun is a gun that fire projectiles pneumatically with compressed air or other gases that are pressurized without involving any chemical reactions in contrast to a firearm which pressurizes gases chemically by oxidation of combustible propellants that generates propulsive energy by breaking molecular bonds both the long gun air rifle and handgun air pistol forms. The gas emerging from the hot end can reach temperatures of 200 c 392 f and the gas emerging from the cold end can reach 50 c 58 f. With no moving parts to wear out cold air guns require no electricity at the target just a compressed air source.

The vortex tube also known as the ranque hilsch vortex tube is a mechanical device that separates a compressed gas into hot and cold streams. A pcp air rifle works on a very simple principle of air pressure differential. The air consumption range is from 15 scfm to 35 scfm. A vortex tube creates cold air and hot air by forcing compressed air through a generation chamber which spins the air at a high rate of speed 1 000 000 rpm into a vortex.

Use them to keep heat sensitive electronic equipment cool with cold air. It has no moving parts. Vortex tubes convert compressed air into a stream of cold air. It will remove heat to prolong tool life and increase productivity on machining operations when liquid coolants cannot be used.

Airflow adjusters sold separately can be switched out to increase or decrease the vortex tube s airflow cfm to alter its cooling capacity. Up until the moment i connected the air supply. With no moving parts to wear out cold air guns require no electricity just a compressed air source. I thought they used the vortex principle to separate dense cool from less dense warm air and then discharged them from seperate outlets.

Says it produces air 50 colder than air supply. The high speed air heats up as it spins along the inner walls of the tube toward the control valve. Air that rotates around an axis like a tornado is called a vortex. The pressure may reach up to 3 000 psi or about 200 times standard air pressure.

The cold gun aircoolant system with two cold outlets surrounds a part to be cooled with a stream of clean cold air at 50 f 28 c below supply air temperature. Cold air guns cold air guns use filtered compressed air 80 100 psig and vortex tube technology to produce sub zero air for industrial spot cooling. Pressurised gas is injected tangentially into a swirl chamber and.
