Abstract
It is shown that a comparatively low efficiency of a vortex tube can be compensated for by giving it additional functions such as air dryer. Experiment shows that the adiabatic efficiency of a vortex tube falls somewhat with increase in the humidity of the input flow. Formulas are proposed for quantitative evaluation of that process.
