SIR PADAMPAT SINGHANIA UNIVERSITY (UDAIPUR) PROJECT SYNOPSIS AIR CONDITIONING BY COMPRESSED AIR (TEMPERATURE CHANGE) Project Mentor:

Mr. Deepak Paliwal Project Leader: Naman Chaturvedi E-mail ID : Contact No. : Objective: To prepare a air conditioning as well as air warming device by the use of compressed air and use of exhaust air. Aim : - Our aim is to make a device which can be used in following ways

It can be used in a house in place of air conditioning. Place where vortex tube is not sufficient for cooling there we can use COVT. It can also used for removing dust particles. Where we required less amount of cool and hot air.

Introduction: Vortex Tube: 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. It has no moving parts. Principal: Pressurized gas is injected tangentially into a swirl chamber and accelerated to a high rate of rotation. Due to the conical nozzle at the end of the tube, only the outer shell of the compressed gas is allowed to escape at that end. The remainder of the gas is forced to return in an inner vortex of reduced diameter within the outer vortex.

Technical Details:

vortex tube Parts of Vortex Tube: Body Washer Valve Sleeve Generator O ring Cold cap

Dimensions: Inside Diameter: D Length of the hot pipe: 32D Length of the cold pipe: 20D Diameter of the Washer: 1.5D Valve: 1.5D Diameter of O ring: 2D Length of Sleeve: 5D Methodology: Working of Vortex Tube: Compressed air is injected into the vortex tube at extremely high speeds and that creates a cyclone, or vortex, spinning a million revolutions per minute. Part of the air is forced to spin inward to the center and travels up a long tube where a valve turns the spinning column of air inside itself. The inside column of air gives up its heat to the outside column. The cold air is directed out the cold end of the Vortex Tube and the hot air is directed out the other end of the Vortex Tube. The air flow and temperature are totally controllable. And since there are no moving parts there is little need for maintenance. Manufacturing of Vortex Tube: Firstly we make the parts of the vortex tube as per the dimensions (given above) .Firstly we join the hot pipe with the washer and join the generator sleeve ,which goes inside it because of smaller in diameter.Then we join it with the generator which helps to support vortex creation.At the one end we place conical nozzle inside the tube and we place cold cap at that place which return the hot air from where we get the cold air by the valve connected at the end of the pipe from outside.At the other end get the hot air by the other valve.By this way the hot air and the cold air is separated by the valves. we can also utilise the exhaust air in different places.

Benefits : Vortex Tubes Benefits: Vortex Tubes use only compressed air- no electricity or refrigerants are required Vortex Tubes are maintenance free - Since Vortex Tubes have no moving parts there is no maintenance required Vortex Tubes are Exceptionally reliable Vortex Tubes are Compact and lightweight

Applications: Vortex Tube Applications: Vortex Tubes have a very wide range of application for industrial spot cooling on machines, assembly lines and processes.

Cool Machining Operations Cool heat seal operations Thermal test sensors and choke units Temperature cycle parts Combination Of Vortex Tube (COVT) : It is a combination of more than one vortex tube.It has a collecting chambers in which hot and cold air is collected and supply to the desired place. It can be used for the larger use where we require more hot and cold air.

Target users:

It is basically inexpensive so it can be used by common man. Its exhaust gases are not harmful for the people. Exhaust gases are also utilised for the people in other works. People can use it easily.
