The compressed gas is received by the vortex tube. The compressed gas flowing through the vortex tube is discharged from the hot gas outlet as a hot gas of the vortex tube and is discharged from the cold gas outlet as a cold gas of the vortex tube. The hot gas accelerating member is converged the hot gas and the compressed gas to discharge a high-speed hot gas from the hot gas export outlet. The cold gas accelerating member is converged the cold gas and the compressed gas to discharge a high-speed cold gas from the cold gas export outlet. The high-speed hot gas and the high-speed cold gas in a predetermined ratio are mixed by the outputting member as temperature-adjusted gas to flow from the temperature adjustment gas outlet to an air supply channel of the electric fan so as to adjust temperature of outflowing air of the electric fan.
