Workers in extreme temperatures wear Personal Air Conditioners (PACs) to minimize heat stress and fatigue. The PAC's improve comfort and productivity.
Vortec personal cooling vests have two components:
- a cooling tube with belt that generates cold air to provide air flow to the worker
- a diffuse cooling vest through which the cold air flows to cool the worker’s torso
- PACs are available in two cooling capacities; 1500 BTUH and 2500 BTUH. All models can achieve temperature differentials of +/- 45 – 60 deg F from the inlet compressed air temperature using vortex tube technology. These models are adjustable by the worker using an integral temperature adjustment knob.
