Nuventix Unveils Revolutionary Air Cooling SynJet Technology
Ultra Reliable and Thermally Effective Active Cooling Technology Now
Available for Product Designers
SAN DIEGO (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) October 24, 2007 --
From LEDs 2007, Nuventix today formally introduced its revolutionary
fanless air cooling SynJet™ technology. The
patented synthetic jet cooling approach solves active thermal management
problems in a completely new way, providing the most reliable, effective
and flexible cooling solutions for product designers across a variety of
industries, including LED lighting, telecommunications and consumer
electronics. SynJet high reliability cooling solutions enable new
electronic designs by allowing designers to focus on functionality, not
thermals.
“Product designers are under constant pressure
to solve increasingly tougher thermal problems within smaller spaces and
constrained budgets. Conventional cooling technology doesn’t
offer the flexibility and effectiveness SynJet coolers can,”
said Jim Balthazar, president and CEO, Nuventix. “As
an example, SynJet technology is perfect for LED cooling because of its
high reliability, low power consumption and quiet operation.”
How SynJet Technology Works
The SynJet module creates turbulent, pulsated air-jets that can be
directed precisely to locations where thermal management is needed for
industrial spot or chip cooling requiring high reliability and flexible
form-factor implementations.
The vortex-dominated SynJet flow enhances small-scale mixing near the
heated surfaces to yield higher effective heat transfer at low-volume
flow rates compared to conventional air movers. The SynJet flow is
created using Nuventix’ patented actuator
technology and proprietary fluidic packaging expertise.
The system wide heat removal takes advantage of the ejector effect
inherent to high-momentum jet flows. As it operates, the SynJet module
expels high momentum pulses of air. Each pulse of air entrains ambient
air in its wake. The result is highly turbulent, high-heat
transfer-coefficient air flows located directly where they are needed
inside a product providing system and spot level cooling.
“Nuventix’ SynJet
technology is set to offer several unique benefits, from directional and
spot cooling, to lower power consumption and near silent operation,”
said Susie Inouye, research director for market research firm Databeans. “As
designers continue to push the limits of CE and LED products, thermal
management becomes increasingly more important for the lighting, telecom
and home entertainment product markets –
innovations in this field are a must for growth in the industry as a
whole.”
Key Benefits
-
Increased thermal efficiency: SynJet technology makes it
possible to remove more heat with less air by using the air already
present in the system to cool – no
additional air must be plumbed in as with conventional jets. Synthetic
jet systems are 50% more thermally efficient in removing heat from the
source compared to laminar flow normally associated with active
cooling air flow.
-
High reliability cooling out paces even the most reliable fan:
Conventional air movers, like fans and blowers, are the lowest
reliable component in the system; this is not the case with SynJet
modules, which provide 10x the reliability of fans.
-
Low power consumption: SynJet modules can cool the same thermal
load as a conventional fan with a fraction of the power needed.
-
Low audible noise: With frictionless parts, SynJet
modules may be designed for effectively silent operation.
How SynJet Helps the LED Industry
The LED market, stand-alone lighting as well as for use in LCDs, is
proliferating at the rate of 15-20% per year and is expected to reach $7
billion in just three years. This growth will be attained through new
uses of LEDs, many of which will require active cooling. SynJet modules
are the only active cooling option for manufacturers of LEDs because
their reliability matches – and exceeds –
that of the LEDs themselves. SynJet modules also provide spot cooling
and chip cooling in form factors which fit those of LEDs. Read more
