Universal Vortex offers products and technologies that provide non-freeze pressure reduction and thermal conditioning of non-preheated gas.  This pressure-to-thermal and green solution substantially reduces or eliminates energy consumption that is routinely required to pre-heat gas upstream of its pressure regulation.

THE CORE OF THE UVI APPROACH IS THE PROPRIETARY NON-FREEZE VORTEX TUBE CONFIGURED AS A DUAL PATH OR SINGLE PATH DEVICE

  • No Moving Parts
  • No Freon or Other Chemicals
  • No Freezing or Icing
  • No Electricity/Gas Needed to Produce Significant Heating or Cooling
  • No Operating Cost
  • No Maintenance Cost
  • Broad Operational Parameters to Perform Efficiently

VORTEX ENERGY DIVISION.
HOW IT WORKS:

The ‘vortex’ process is based on energy redistribution in a pressurized gas stream introduced tangentially into a specially designed cylindrical device (the Vortex Tube). The released (depressurized) highly rotating gas undergoes energy and mass division (Vortex Phenomenon) forming an inner, chilled ‘cold’ and an outer, warmed ‘hot’ flows. In a conventional VT both flows exit the unit separately through a cold and a hot outlets.

Vortex Pilot Gas Heater Design Needs No External Energy Source

A new concept of pilot gas heating that requires no external energy (no chemicals and no electricity) has been applied in the Vortex Pilot Gas Heater (VPGH). In VPGH operations, the heat is produced as an outcome of the routine gas pressure reduction in the unit. Read more...
