Experimental study on the influence of vortex tube structure on performance—cold flow rate, length-diameter ratio, nozzle type
This study conducted experimental investigations on the effects of nozzle structure, length-to-diameter ratio (L/D), and the number of nozzle flow channels on the performance of vortex tubes. The nozzle structures include the ordinary type (OT) and the convergent type (COT). Including 2, 4, and 6 flow channels. Both the convergent nozzle and the ordinary nozzle had 3 flow channels. Exploring the effects of convergent nozzles and ordinary nozzles with different L/D on the performance of vortex tubes; exploring the influence of nozzle flow channel numbers on the performance of vortex tubes at the optimal L/D of the convergent nozzle and the ordinary nozzle, and studying the effects of different L/D on the optimal flow channel numbers of the convergent nozzle and the ordinary nozzle. With the inlet pressure set at 0.4 MPa, and the cold flow rate varying between 0.5 and 0.9. The results showed that the performance of the convergent nozzle was superior to that of the ordinary nozzle. The Optimal combination was a 6-flow channel convergent nozzle and a vortex tube with an L/D of 26.7, achieving a maximum cold temperature difference of 48.6 ℃ and an isentropic efficiency of 0.49 when the cold flow rate was approximately 0.53.
