Investigate of Manuel Cooling System Used Vortex Tube

In this study, a functional vest which can be worked by manuel without any starting system was designed and a prototype was produced for peoples cooling requirement. This system was made of a vortex tube, knee pad, linear motion mechanism with 3 members and vest. While walking, depending on knee’s movement, a piston at linear motion mechanism was moved front and backward. This front and back movement was used obtain pressured air and this air was sent to vortex tube with pneumatic pipes. In the experiments, one piston on one leg were used. Using one piston, the air was pressured and sent to the system during 1 minute. Thus, the temperature of air out coming vortex tube was decreased about 1,9oC. Occured cold air in the vortex tube was carried on vest surface with placed pipes periodically. Thus, it will be cooled in summer. Also, this system can be used any working environment, because of its lightweight and wearable. Using this system, efficiency and performance of employees were increased. In this way, product quality and economic can be affected positively direct or indirect.
