A vortex tube assembly equipped with a control mechanism for use in selectively adjusting the temperature of air discharged from the primary outlet of the assembly to any temperature within the range from maximum hot to maximum cold, the temperature of the discharged air varying in generally linear relation with adjustments in the position of a temperature control handle. Ideally, the temperature of the discharged air may thus be varied without significantly altering the rate of flow through the primary outlet. The assembly includes a vortex tube disposed within a cylindrical housing having primary and secondary outlets, and a pair of flow-dividing members within the housing, at least one of which is movably mounted, for controlling the temperature of the air discharged from the primary outlet by altering the proportions of hot and cold air flowing through the passages of such members.
