An air supply and conditioning system for an inlet system of a gas turbine includes an air processing unit having an inlet configured to receive compressed air from a compressor of the gas turbine. The air processing unit includes a heat exchanger that is downstream from the inlet. A vortex cooler is disposed downstream from the inlet of the air processing unit. The vortex cooler is in fluid communication with the heat exchanger and with an outlet of the air processing unit. The system further includes a self-cleaning filter that is disposed within a duct of the inlet system. The self-cleaning filter is in fluid communication with at least one of the outlet of the air processing unit or an outlet of the vortex cooler.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a refrigerated compartment and a machine compartment. A compressor is disposed within the machine compartment and is adapted to compress a refrigerant within a refrigerant line. A micro-channel condenser is positioned in communication with the compressor and adapted to selectively reject heat from the refrigerant into the machine compartment. A condenser fan is positioned within the machine compartment between the condenser and compressor. The fan is adapted to draw heated air through the condenser and also draw fresh air from an area adjacent the machine compartment and beneath the refrigerated compartment. The heated air and fresh air combine to define mixed air that is directed toward the compressor for cooling the compressor.

A thermal control apparatus adapted for use with a pressurized air supply for controlling temperature of a component includes a vortex tube having an inlet adapted for connection with the pressurized air supply, a cold air outlet, and a hot air outlet, and a heat exchanger in fluid communication with the cold air outlet of the vortex tube, the heat exchanger being in thermal contact with the component and thereby controlling the temperature of the component. The heat exchanger further includes a post-heat-exchange exhaust air outlet in fluid communication with an exhaust air inlet adapted to direct the exhaust air along an outside of the vortex tube.

Disclosed herein is a cooling system for two-dimensional array power converters. The cooling system includes: a plurality of power converters arranged in two-dimension; a compressor configured to generate compressed air; vortex tubes each installed in the respective power converters, the vortex tubes configured to generate low-temperature air based on compressed air from the compressor; valves installed between the compressor and the vortex tubes; temperature sensors each installed in the respective power converters to measure temperature inside the power converters; and a controller configured to determine whether to supply the low-temperature air into the power converters by using the vortex tubes, based on the temperature measured by the temperature sensors, and to control the valves depending on a result of the determination.

A temperature control device for heating and/or cooling gases or gas mixtures, in particular for use in the respiratory protection sector. The temperature control device has a housing, a compressed air input, a supply output and a vortex tube with an air inlet, a hot air outlet and a cold air outlet. The vortex tube is installable in at least two final assembly arrangements. In a first arrangement, there is a fluid-conducting connection between the cold air outlet of the vortex tube and the supply output of the temperature control device and, in a second arrangement, there is a fluid-conducting connection between the hot air outlet of the vortex tube and the supply output of the temperature control device. By this configuration, the temperature control device is both a device for heating and cooling respiratory air from mainly the same components with little additional outlay on production and little additional effort during assembly.

A cycle enhancement apparatus is provided. The apparatus has a first side entrance line and exit line, both connected to a first side of a refrigerant line, and a second side entrance line and exit line, both connected to a second side of the refrigerant line. One-way valves prevent flow through the first side entrance line toward the first side, through the first side exit line away from the first side, through the second side entrance line toward the second side, and through the second side exit line away from the second side. The apparatus has a cycle enhancement line. The cycle enhancement line has an entrance portion, connected to the first side entrance line and the second side entrance line, an exit portion, connected to the first side exit line and the second side exit line, and a cycle enhancement between the entrance portion and the exit portion.

The present invention relates to a modular reflux sampler, including a condenser container and a vortex tube. The condenser container is enclosed outside a gas pipeline to be cooled; the vortex tube has a cold air nozzle; the cold air nozzle extends into the condenser container to inject cold air in order to cool the gas pipeline; the vortex tube is connected with a compressed air duct to input compressed air as a cold air raw material; wherein the compressed air duct has a section to pass through the condenser container; and the vortex tube cools the compressed air duct while cooling the gas pipeline, so that the temperature of the compressed air flowing into the vortex tube is reduced, the temperature of the cold air ejected by the cold air nozzle is reduced, the cold air with a lower temperature is input to the condenser container to repeat cooling operation, and a better cooling effect is achieved.
