Vortec Cooling Vests (VCVs)

Vortec Cooling Vests (VCVs) are ideal for workers in extreme temperatures to minimize heat stress and fatigue. They can improve comfort and productivity while ensuring workers stay cool and maintain a safe body temperature. 

These vests have two components:

VCVs are available in two cooling capacities; 1500 BTUH and 2500 BTUH. All models can achieve temperature differentials of +/- 45 – 60° F from the inlet compressed air temperature using vortex tube technology. The wearer can easily adjust temperatures to obtain optimal comfort.

Vests are available in three sizes: Large, X-Large, and XX-Large. The perforated material of the vest's inner lining allows cool air to continuously flow through.

These durable vests allow a full range of motion with no airflow restrictions and do not absorb sweat or other contaminants. Body cooling vests can also be worn under other protective clothing.

 

 

BENEFITS

  • Improves worker safety
  • Eliminates the incidence of worker heat stress
  • Reduces the frequency and duration of non-productive cooling breaks
  • Maximizes worker productivity and comfort in extreme temperatures
  • Eliminates the need to air condition large warehouse or shop areas

FEATURES

  • Provide continuous, consistent cooling, unlike ice or gel packs
  • Two cooling capacities available
  • Has easy temperature adjustment by user, even with gloved hands
  • All VCV models are supplied with an adjustable waist belt and an Industrial Interchange style quick connect for attachment to the compressed air supply
  • Can be worn under other protective clothing
  • Three vest sizes available to fit all workers, plus a vest extension for varying sizes
  • Vest is impermeable to sweat, dirt, and other contaminants; easily cleaned
  • Vest allows full range of motion with no airflow restrictions
  • Vest is made with flame resistant fabric that meets CPAI-84, Sec. 6 Fire Standard Specifications

*Note: NIOSH approves only complete Supplied Air Respirators (SAR) Systems. None of the Vortec Personal Cooling products listed above are approved for use with a respirator system. More can be found about the requirements in CRF 84.131.

Vortec Cooling Tubes

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Workers in extreme temperatures wear Vortec Cooling Tubes to minimize heat stress and fatigue.  The Vortec Cooling Tubes improve comfort and productivity by using a belt with an attached cooling tube that generates cold air to provide air flow to the worker.

Vortec Cooling Tubes are available in two cooling capacities; 1500 BTUH and 2500 BTUH. Both 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 on the hot air muffler end of the Cooling Tube.

*All Cooling Tubes have 1/4” compressed air quick connect and 3/4” garden hose thread for discharge of air to vest
