Key Takeaways
1. Frore Systems launched the AirJet Mini G2, which dissipates up to 7.5 watts of heat while consuming only 1.2 watts of power, a 50% performance boost compared to the Mini Slim.
2. The AirJet G2 is 2.5 mm thick, making it thinner than the Slim model, and is designed for easy integration into battery-operated portable gadgets.
3. The Slim and G1 versions of the AirJet will still be available for long-term planning, but the G1 model is less prominently featured on the company’s website.
4. Frore Systems hinted at future applications for the G2 during Computex, focusing primarily on industrial uses, such as cooling for SWIR cameras in production lines.
5. The launch timeline for devices featuring the AirJet Mini G2 is uncertain, as manufacturers need to create compatible designs.
Frore Systems has recently launched its AirJet Mini G2, a new membrane-based thermal solution. The company states that this updated version can dissipate up to 7.5 watts of heat while consuming only 1.2 watts of power. This represents a 50% boost in performance compared to the Mini Slim, while it only requires an additional 20% power, making it easier to integrate into battery-operated portable gadgets.
Thin and Efficient
With a thickness of just 2.5 mm (approximately 0.1 in), the AirJet G2 active cooling chip is thinner than the Slim model, which was made for particularly small devices. The Slim and G1 versions will still be available to assist manufacturers planning for the long term who want to incorporate AirJets into their products. However, the G1 model is no longer prominently displayed on Frore System’s website, indicating that there probably won’t be new designs based on it. This is especially true since the cooling system doesn’t have to always operate at the 7.5 watts heat dissipation level. Interestingly, the datasheet does not include a graph that illustrates the connection between power usage and heat dissipation.
Future Applications
During Computex, Frore Systems hinted at new possibilities for the G2 variant, but they didn’t provide specifics. Just from the specifications, the AirJet Mini G2 seems to be technically better than earlier models.
Frore Systems also presented a variety of use cases during the trade event. It’s clear that the company is concentrating mainly on industrial uses, with one example being a short-wave infrared (SWIR) camera used in production lines that is cooled with AirJets.
Launch Timeline Uncertain
It is still unclear when devices featuring the AirJet Mini G2 will be available, as manufacturers must first create designs that are compatible with this advanced solid-state thermal solution.
