I'm just discovered these vortex coolers from Automation Direct. I've never heard of them. They cost 1/10th of an A/C unit of the same BTU rating. The description on the AD website is a bit lacking so I briefly read/watched some info from google. The principle of operation is beyond me, but I can push the "I believe" button. The thing that concerns me is that it seems air from the compressed air supply is going into the panel. I don't know the quality of the compressed air where this panel is going to be installed, so it seems to me that the panel could have droplets of water or oil blown into it by this cooler. Or does the vortex spin all of that out?
I'm also concerned about air availability. Not everybody considers compressed air vital. Maybe they turn the compressor off before leaving for the weekend and leave the panel turned on. I don't know what kind of new, unique challenges this device would bring with it. So I ask you, have you used them? Experiences?
