  Vortex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A good example of a vortex is the atmospheric phenomenon of a whirlwind or a tornado or dust devil.
On a much smaller scale, a vortex is usually formed as water goes down a drain, as in a sink or a toilet.
Polar vortex : a persistent, large-scale cyclone centered near the Earth's poles, in the middle and upper troposphere and the stratosphere.

 Vantec Vortex Hard Drive Cooler - hardCOREware.net
It is advertised as a HDD cooler, but really it's a fan controller that happens to hold hard drives, with minor cooling via a 40mm fan.
The Vortex comes equipped with a built-in flat Thermistor that you can attach to any point of your hard drive, allowing you to stay aware of the temperature of your drive.
One thing that I have to note is that unlike the Cooldrive 4, the Vortex does not have a memory, and it will reset to the default settings whenever the PC is shut down.

 Vortec - Vortex Coolers for Electrical Enclosures
Vortex Coolers are an affordable, low maintenance, and easy to install alternative for thermal management of electrical cabinets and control panels.
Using filtered compressed air and vortex tube technology, Vortex Coolers provide cooling capacities to 5000 BTUH and maintain NEMA 4, 4X and 12 ratings.
With no moving parts to wear out, Vortex Coolers use an internal vortex tube to convert factory compressed air into a low pressure, cold air stream that is distributed throughout the cabinet.

 Welcome to Red and Blackness Hardware Reviews
The cooler looks great, the brushed aluminium has a great finish and the logo looks very smart, just a shame you won’t see the logo when the cooler is installed.
The vortex includes a replaceable dust filter in front of its crossflow blower which is reminiscent of the coolermaster aero and jet 7, this design removes the ‘dead zone’ cause by traditional fans.
The cooler has 4 rubber pads that the hard drive rests on, this stops vibrations, but I can see this reducing how well the vortex cools, the only way for the heat from the hard drive to transfer to the cooler is through the 4 screws as rubber is a very good insulator of heat.

 V I P E R L A I R .com - Cooler Master Vortex TX
Unlike some of Cooler Master's recent heatpipe based coolers, the Vortex TX is considerably smaller and lighter than the likes of the Hyper 6 and Hyper 48.
A circular 92mm fan is preinstalled on the Vortex TX and is rated between 26dBA to 36dBA depending on the CPU temperature.
None of the coolers were able to catch up to the Hyper 6 in AMD testing, but by the same token, none were nearly as loud as the Hyper 6.

 Ozone depletion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Within this "polar vortex", over 50% of the lower stratospheric ozone is destroyed during the antarctic spring.
Most of the ozone that is destroyed is in the lower stratosphere, in contrast to the much smaller ozone depletion through homogeneous gas phase reactions, which occurs primarily in the upper stratosphere.
If the conditions became more severe (cooler stratospheric temperatures, more stratospheric clouds, more active chlorine) then global ozone may decrease at a much greater pace.

 Vantec hard drive cooler chills your data
Hard Drive Coolers such as the Cooler Master Cool Drive 3 and the Vantec Vortex HDCS are 5¼ inch devices which are positioned in a drive bay and act as a large heatsink for your hard disk drive.
The Vortex is basically a large aluminium heatsink with a crossflow blower located at the front of the cooler.
The Cooler Master Cool Drive 4 has a 40mm fan located to the left hand side of the 5¼ inch drive bay which means the right hand side of the hard drive isn’t receiving any active cooling from the intake fan.

I have a bath and when I pull the plug the water forms a vortex so there is hope that it is not that difficult after all.
Well the way I understand it the vortex will be by its very nature large and slowly rotating at the top and highly focused and rotating at great speed at the bottom.
Tipping water from one to the other a vortex does not readily form but a couple of swishes in the general direction triggers healthy vortex which once initiated requires little or no further energy input.

 Vantec Vortex Hard Drive Cooling System - Articles / Reviews | TheTechLounge
The Vortex is a 5.25" front bay device meant to house and chill your over-worked hard drive with one innovative and vicious looking fan while an LCD output displays your hard drive's current temperature.
The VTX model line (available in fl or silver) is the only one sold with a "cross flow blower." In other words, the cooling fan on the Vortex isn't your standard run of the mill case fan.
Taking up the majority of the front panel of the Vortex is a metal screened door that can be flipped down to reveal the cold, mechanical heart of the beast...the cross flow blower (cue evil organ music).

 Hard Drive Coolers - HDD cooler, Vantec Vortex, dual fan and single fan cooling reduces hd temperature
Installed hard drive cooler is a perfect match for 7200 RPM Ultra ATA 66/100/133 Hard drives as well as 10K or 15K SCSI drives.
As the spindle motors inside the drive spin, the temperature of the hard drive rises considerably, often leading to read errors, reduced life cycles, and even loss of data should the temperature surpass the heat threshold.
Vantec HDD coolers help keep your hard drive well within their specified temperature range, often resulting in more than 100% heat dissipation.

 Cooler Master
Vortex TX Vortex TX is the new generation cooler of Vortex Dream and Ultra Vortex series.
The cooler didn’t do all that well on overclocking though, even with a small OC the temps started going over 60c, which is way too high in my opinion.
The Vortex TX performed quite well for being a silent solution cooler, it is designed well and uses quality materials.

 Maximum PC: Cooler Master Vortex TX
Cooler Master Vortex TX We’ve come to expect superior performance from Cooler Master, but the Vortex TX let us down.
In fact, the Vortex TX proved to be more of a CPU warmer than a cooler.
Like the other Cooler Master products, it uses PWM to vary fan speed according to CPU temps, but we never reached that plateau so the fan spun at 2200rpm at all times.

Vortex CNC Coolers are powered by a Vortex tube - a unique device that creates a Vortex from compressed air and separates it into hot and cold airstreams.
The vortex tube's cylindrical generator causes the input compressed air to rotate reaching speeds up to 1,000,000 rpm as it is forced down the inner wall of the hot - or longer end of the vortex tube.
At the end of the hot tube, a small portion of this air exits through a needle valve as hot air exhaust.
