High Performance, Industrial Cooling Vest

Personal Air Conditioners for
Worker Comfort in Extreme Temperatures

Uncomfortably hot working conditions can affect productivity and worker safety.  ITW Vortec's Personal Air Conditioners (PAC's) 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 degrees F below the inlet temperature. The small vortex tube, worn on a supplied belt, is connected to ITW Vortec's Diffuse-Air Vest which has a perforated lining to provide cooled air delivery over the upper body.  Temperature is easily adjusted by turning a knob on the vortex tube.

Unlike "ice pack" type vests, the PAC offers workers consistent, controllable, and continuous cooling. The vest can be worn under welding leathers or other protective outer clothing and allows full range of motion with no airflow restrictions.  Both large and extra-large vests are available each featuring a collar that can be unfolded to deliver tempered air flow to the neck and face.
