ABSTRACT:
A closed loop vortex tube system having a vortex tube, a hot side loop and heat exchanger, a cold side loop and heat exchanger, a working fluid, and a start-up compressor. The hot side loop and cold side loop combine past the heat exchanger at an inlet on the vortex tube. Electrical generating means, transmission means, or distilling means are provided for deriving work from the hot side heat exchanger.
A method of operating a closed loop vortex tube system by providing a moving stream of working fluid to a vortex tube, heat exchanging the cold side output with a fluid which is warm relative to it, heat exchanging the hot side working fluid with a fluid which is cool relative to it, combining the two heat exchanged working fluids and reintroducing them to the vortex tube, and deriving a work output from the hot side heat exchanger.
