A temperature-changing pressure roller assembly is provided and includes
(a) a rotatable pressure roller including a cylindrical sleeve having an
outer surface, and an inner surface defining a hollow interior to the
rotatable pressure roller having a first end and a second and opposite
end; (b) a vortex tube assembly for simultaneously producing a hot air
stream and a cold air stream, the vortex tube assembly being connected to
the hollow interior of the rotatable pressure roll; and (c) control
device connected to the vortex tube assembly for selectively controlling
flow of the hot air stream and the cold air stream thereof through the
hollow interior of the rotatable pressure roller, thereby selectively
changing a temperature of the cylindrical sleeve of the pressure roller.
