Personal Air Conditioners
Personal Air
Conditioners (PAC) use a compressed air supply and vortex tube
technology to keep workers comfortable in extremely hot
environments. With no moving parts, the vortex tube spins
compressed air to force a simple heat exchange that produces cold
air to 60° F below the inlet temperature. The small vortex
tube, worn on a supplied belt, is connected to the company's
Diffuse-Air Vest, which has perforated lining to provide cooled air
delivery over the upper body. Temperature is easily adjusted by
turning a knob on the vortex tube. The PAC offers consistent,
continuous, controllable cooling. The vest can be worn under
welding leathers and other protective gear and allows full range of
motion with no airflow restrictions. Large and extra-large vests
are available, each with a collar that can be unfolded to deliver
tempered airflow to the neck and face. PACs that offer cooling and
heating are also available.
