This is an extremely good introduction to and discussion of vortex
tube coolers. This is a commercial page from a company who sells the
products but should prove invaluable to anyone interested in making
their own. In particular tables of achievable hot & cold temperatures
for various pressures, flow rates and cold fractions are given.

A vortex tube cooler uses compressed air plus a deceptively simple
'vortex tube" with no moving parts (except the air) to produce hot and
cold outlet air streams. Cold temperatures of as low as about 70 C /
130 F below inlet temperature are tabulated for some of this
manufacturer's tubes. Vortex tubes can be relatively easily made by
amateurs.
Google knows a significant amount about this subject.

There are instructions for making your own (Rudolph) Hilsch tube cooler in an
old Scientific American Amateur Scientist article (late 1950s).
I've got a commercial version too. They eat a lot of compressed air and are
rather noisy.

When picking up your cooler, don't forget to collect the free earplugs.
A silent vortex cooler, now that would be something.
