FIELD: refrigeration engineering. SUBSTANCE: compressed gas flow is cooled down in heat-transfer apparatus, then expanded in dual-flow vortex tube, hot flow being fed to direct-flow inlet of recuperative heat-transfer apparatus and cold flow, to its return-flow inlet. Heat-transfer apparatus operates at reduced pressures. EFFECT: enhanced cooling efficiency, simplified design, and reduced cost of device. 8 cl, 7 dwg
