The paper describes the possibility of application of the vortex effect in a mobile thermostatic unit. The structural diagram of the unit and the results of tests are presented. It is shown that the technological efficiency of the Ranque–Hilsch vortex tube used in the unit can be increased by forced cooling of the tube housing or solely its hot flow outlet.
