Active Device Cooling Technology

A company in Silicon Valley called Frore Systems has created a new cooling technology. It is designed to actively cool processors and other electronic components using what Frore Systems calls AirJet®. Frore Systems claims their active cooling device will enable devices to run 2x faster.1

They call their AirJet Mini device, an "active cooling chip - the first ever solid-state thermal solution. AirJet is silent, thin, light and outperforms fans. AirJet Mini removes 5.25 Watts of heat at a silent 21 dBA noise level, while only consuming a maximum of 1 Watt of power."1 A second device, called AirJet Pro has even more heat removal capability. AirJet Pro removes 10.5 Watts of heat while generating 1,750 Pascals of back pressure, 10x higher than a fan, according to Frore Systems.

The initial market for these solid state devices are laptop computers. By increasing the cooling capacity of a laptop, Frore states that it enables processor manufacturers to increase the speed as much as double as cooling is a substantial limiting factor.

Tech Tip: When to Use Chillers

A chiller is a liquid-based cooling system designed to lower the temperature of equipment by removing heat from the system. The recooling of liquids using chillers is one of the basic requirements for smooth and reliable operation in many industrial processes.

When choosing a chiller, the most important thing to consider is the right cooling medium. This can consist of oils, an antifrogen / water mixture, glycols or deionized water. Depending on the selection, the cooling capacity of the chiller must be adapted. This is a subject that is nuanced so that it is often best to discuss your particular application with a chiller manufacturer regarding cooling capacity needed and cooling medium.

Chillers are readily available with cooling capacities from 500 W up to 200 kW. Some manufacturers offer customization to meet individual customer requirements.

Cooling Bitcoin Mining Machines

Climate control of computer systems developed to mine bitcoin and other digital / virtual currencies is needed as these systems can produce a lot of heat and are sometimes located in smaller spaces that do not have enough installed cooling capacity in the environment.

Air-to-Water Heat Exchangers

Our compact air-water heat exchangers can be used if a cold water supply is available. A typical application is the dissipation of high power losses from control cabinets. All heat exchangers are available as internal or external units, roof mounted and 19-inch rack units.

Units are available as 19-inch plug-in models with minimal depth, as well as recessed, top and side mount. These industry proven heat exchangers are available from 2,390 BTU/hr up to 18,000 BTU/hr @95°F cabinet / 50°F water. With our modular system setup we can even reach performances of up to 135,000 BTU/hr. Learn more.
