Vortec Dual Action PAC personal air-conditioning vest

Vortec has added the Dual Action PAC to its line of personal air-conditioning vests, designed for workers in extreme temperatures to help minimise fatigue, heat and cold stress, as well as improve comfort and productivity.

With its belt bracket, the product enables cold or warm air to circulate through a diffuse air vest to distribute cooling or heating to the wearer’s torso and neck. It contains a perforated interior that allows for continuous cooled or heated flow throughout the vest.

The air supplied to the vest achieves a temperature differential of 7–15°C from the inlet compressed air temperature. Users can pull out the quick-release pin in the swivel bracket and rotate in 90° increments as needed.

The vest can be worn under other protective clothing and is made of abrasion-resistant, flame-retardant material with a 150°C melting point.
