Portable Personal Vortex Cooling & Heating Systems

Portable Personal Vortex Cooling & Heating Systems use filtered compressed air and vortex tube technology to keep workers comfortable in extremely hot or cold areas. Portable Personal Vortex Cooling & Heating Systems use the Model VOR.855 or VOR.857 Diffuse Air Vest to distribute cooled or heated air over the upper body.

Applications:
Unlike "ice pack" type vests, the PAC offers consistent and continuous cooling to minimize heat stress and increase worker productivity in hot surroundings. The vest allows full range of motion with no airflow restrictions and can be worn under welding leathers or protective clothing. The vortex tube unit, worn on a supplied belt, cools or heats inlet temperature by ±60°F

ITW Vortec PAC’s provide effective cooling or heating, and are especially popular for workers operating in or near: • Foundries • Boiler Rooms • Steel Mills • Glass Plants • Power Plants • Forging Shops • Casting Shops • Welding Operations • Sand Blasting • Paint Baking Operations • Powder Coating • Refrigerated Lockers • Smelters • Mines • Asbestos Abatement • Hazardous Waste Removal
