Installation Procedures:
1. For Type 4 or 4X units: Cut 1-15/16” (49 mm) (1-1/2” knockout size) hole(s) in the enclosure.
For Type 12 units: Cut 1-1/8” (29 mm) (3/4" knockout size) hole(s) in the enclosure.
2. Insert Vortex Cooler(s) into cut-out(s) and secure with the locknut(s).
3. For Type 4 or 4X units: Attach the cold air muffler(s) to the outlet of the V ortex Cooler(s).
4. Perforate the ducting kit(s) with several 1/8” holes and secure to the interior of enclosure.
5. For dual cooler units: Attach the ducting kits to the cold outlets of the Vortex Coolers.
For all other models: Attach the ducting kit(s) to the cold air muffler(s).
6. If installing a solenoid valve and thermostat, connect pipe from Vortex Cooler to solenoid valve,
then pipe from solenoid valve to compressed air filter. The thermostat should be placed inside the
enclosure cabinet, and connected to the solenoid valve with conduit.
If not installing a solenoid valve and thermostat, connect piping from Vortex Cooler directly to
compressed air filter. The compressed air filter and solenoid valve should be installed as close as
possible to the Vortex Cooler, in a location where the temperature does not exceed 125 F (52 C).
Conduit and compressed air pipe are not provided.
7. Connect the compressed air supply to the filter.
Maintenance
Vortec Cooler systems have no moving parts and can be disassembled for cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Insufficient airflow may be caused by the following:
1. Undersized compressed air line size.
2. Compressed air pressure too low.
3. Partial or complete blockage of internal compressed air path, due to dirt.
Insufficient cold air temperature may be caused by:
1. Compressed air line temperature too high.
2. Water vapor in the compressed air supply.
3. Loose cold cap. This may occur if not tightened properly after disassembled for cleaning.
