Description

Said method and device are intended for substituting of ecological harmful lubricant-coolant method,which usually is used at metal working industry, and also for increasing productivity of the equipment, decreasing of the expenditures for exploitation and repair.

The peculiarity of the cooling by ionized air consists in the original construction of the device for feeding ionized air to the processing zone. The device can be adopted to any metal-cutting equipment without its modernization. It works according to the principle of redistribution of compressed air energy between two air streams. Said streams are created in in vortex tube, also known as Ranque or Hilsh tube, due to air expansion. Peripheral stream (which is in contact with the inner surface of tube) is hot and core stream is cold. Then cold stream is ionized.

Benefits

• The method meets requirements for ecological purity of industrial cycle in combination with high quality of the metal processing; provides supporting of the sanitary-hygienic conditions at working zone; reduces the probability of the professional diseases.
• There are no byproducts for utilization.
• Provide the cooling at the high-speed processing.
• Increase the instrument durability in 1.2-1.75 times.
• The method can be used for processing of different materials. Reduce the standing idle time of the equipment by 15-20%.
• As compared with lubricant-coolant method it allows to increase metal-processing productivity in 1.2-1.5 times.
