| Summary: | Vortex tube is a kind of simple cooling device, which can be used for two
functions, that is for cooling effect (refrigerator) and heating effect (heat pump).
Generally, vortex tube needs compressed air as input from air compressor in order to
work.
This research aims is to design and analyze vacuum pump for vortex tube, so
that it can be integrated to vortex tube.
This research was conducted by selecting vacuum pump using the velocity
triangle concept, examine the variable that support the vacuum pump, and data
testing.
The result shows that vacuum pump have worked despite there is a pressure
difference between the design and the prototype. The error rate obtained from this
research is 35 %
