This work proposes an innovative method for adjusting the natural gas from the grid to the consumer pipeline requirements in a full-scale pressure reduction station. The use of two counterflow vortex tubes instead of the traditional boiler to preheat the gas before throttling is demonstrated as a powerful alternative. Thus, a reduction of fossil fuel consumption is reached, which amounts to 7.1% less CO2 emitted. To ensure the optimal configuration, the vortex tube was thoroughly characterized in laboratory facilities using nitrogen as the working fluid. Various operating conditions were tested to determine the most efficient setup. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations were conducted with nitrogen to validate the behavior of the vortex tube. Subsequently, the working fluid was switched to methane to assess the performance differences between the two gases. Finally, the vortex tubes were deployed at a full-scale installation and tested under real consumption demand. The results obtained from this study offer promising insights into the practical implementation of the proposed method for adjusting the natural gas flow, highlighting its potential for reducing fossil fuel consumption and minimizing CO2 emissions. Further improvements and refinements can be made based on these findings.

Vortex tube is the device that separates pressurized fluid into hot and cold fluid streams simultaneously. The scientific community has done extensive experimental and theoretical studies since invention of vortex tube to augment the performance of the tube by varying geometrical and operational parameters; the paper deals with parametric review of all such work. The review takes into account effect of almost 14 parameters on performance of vortex tube. It includes developments in tube geometry like L/D ratio, number of nozzles; hot end valve angle and cold orifice diameter etc. are discussed along with different fluids and operational parameters like CMF and stagnation point etc. The focus of most of the theoretical and experimental studies was to investigate mechanism of thermal separation and geometry optimization. The main objective of this review is to discuss efforts made in order to enhance the refrigeration effect so that, missing links could help for future research.

“…They reported that cone angle, α = 30° leads to 50.60% higher heating performance at the cold flow ratio of 0.75 and provides higher cooling efficiency which is 43.76%. G. S. Kumar et al reported that the best cone angle is 20° [3]. However, S. E. Rafiee et al [2] reported the cone angle, α = 30° is the best cone angle.…”

A furnace is a heating device, which is used for heating samples up to 1350°C. The conventional method to reduce the temperature of the furnace to room temperature requires more than 8 hours. Therefore, a vortex tube cooling device is used to enhance the cooling process. The vortex tube is a small cooling device that uses compressed gas to produce cold flow. In this study, 3 cooling methods were compared; the conventional method, room temperature compressed gas cooling method, and vortex tube cooling method. From the results, it is clear that the vortex tube is able to enhanced the cooling process. Comparing to the conventional method, the vortex tube can reduce the temperature 2-hour faster.
