They are an economical alternative to expensive, high maintenance air conditioners and provide a clean stable environment when coupled with purge systems.

They work by maintaining slight pressurization within the enclosure that aids to avoid contamination. They are available in four different capacities; 900, 1500, 2500 or 5,000 BTU/hr and incorporate the most up-to-date features of Vortec’s line of highly reliable, cost effective enclosure coolers.

The sleek, modern design offers 78% noise reduction over other vortex enclosure coolers, an integral mechanical thermostat, flexible installation, and a check valve that helps maintain pressure when cooling is not required. They hold ATEX Certification Ex II 2 GD T3 and are suitable for use in hazardous locations where a T3 temperature class rating is required.
