ABSTRACT:
The invention is a contaminant removal system for purifying air. Incoming air is cooled to a cryogenic temperature. A vortex tube further cools the cooled air so as to solidify contaminants therein. A filter system then filters out the solidified contaminants from the air.
Use of a vortex tube minimizes the amount of moving parts. This reduces maintenance and concommitant costs involved with operation. The present system has a long life. The vortex tube is relatively inexpensive.
