Ranque Hilsch Vortex Tube (RHVT) takes in the compressed air
from the air compressor and releases hot air from one end and the cold end from
the other end. Generally, any fluid dynamics takes place due to the law of
conservation of mass, the law of conservation of energy, and the law of
conservation of momentum. RHVT a Ranque Hilsch Vortex Tube is a unique
thermo-fluidic and indisputable device for the purpose of the production of hot
and cold temperatures without any mechanical aid. This method which is quite
old in the industry for the application of centrifugal swirling of two fluids
for the purpose of separation based on density. This method of cooling utilizes
compressed air to be injected into a turbulent fixed-size of orifice tube with
predefined lengths and diameters. The purpose of this work is to explore the
various components requirements from the various literature that are available
and to make a software model using Unigraphics. The methodology of this work
has been divided into two parts. One part is to make a study on the existing
designs from the literature reviews and the Second part is to frame the design
specifications for the new design from the simplified, specified, standardized
and diversified observations and transform it into a working model. In this
paper, an attempt is being made to design a new RHVT device, the process starts
with collecting the relevant and proven data on RHVT from the literature
surveys in order to collect the suitable dimensions for the purpose of
designing a new efficient smaller combined with unique features. Some of the
reasons attributed to this kind of phenomenon of energy separation are the drop
in the temperature due to the sudden expansion, centrifugal effect, secondary
circulation and friction. The vortex tube could be used for the purpose of spot
cooling of any area and machine cooling of moving equipment using industrial
compressed air as the source. The use of compressed air makes the device less
susceptible for breakdown due to the fact being no moving parts used in this
system. There are also no proven facts of the existence of the chemical
reactions within the vortex tube. From the results, it is evident that the RHVT
design extensively depends on Inlet pressure of the air stream and the exit
throttling on the hot end and cold end. The future work would be to
Plan-Design-Develop-Manage Risks-Test-Produce-Release-Support by manufacturing
a prototype and doing a Field/Factory setting for this product.
