Fan-tastic No More: AirJet Mini Slim Chills Devices Without a Whisper
In 2023, Frore Systems, a manufacturer of solid-state active cooling chips, launched two revolutionary products: the AirJet Mini and AirJet Pro, which garnered significant market response at the time. At CES 2024, they introduced a new product, the AirJet Mini Slim, which is not only sleeker and thinner but also offers performance akin to the AirJet Mini, providing an enhanced cooling solution for contemporary mobile devices.
The AirJet solid-state autonomous cooling chip is specifically designed for fanless mobile smart devices, predominantly used in laptops, tablets, and handheld gaming consoles. Inside the AirJet, there are minuscule membranes that vibrate at ultrasonic frequencies. These membranes generate substantial backpressure, drawing airflow into the AirJet through the top intake and expelling heat from the cooling base in an efficient manner.
The AirJet Mini Slim measures 27.5×41.5×2.5 mm, reducing its thickness by 0.3mm compared to the AirJet Mini and weighing just 8g, which is 1g lighter. It maintains its performance capabilities with a 1W power consumption achieving a 5.25W cooling power output, and the official noise level is also stated to be below 21 decibels.
Moreover, the AirJet Mini Slim incorporates an intelligent self-cleaning feature and Thermoception technology. The self-cleaning function addresses the issue of dust accumulation over extended use, effectively maintaining performance and extending the lifespan of the device. The Thermoception technology enables the chip to independently sense ambient temperatures, autonomously optimizing to maximize cooling efficiency.
Notably, at CES 2024, Micron showcased a conceptual product, the Crucial T700 8TB, equipped with the AirJet Mini, potentially signaling the entry of solid-state active cooling chips into the hard drive cooling domain. Since the Crucial T700 8TB consists of four individual T700 2TB PCIe 5.0 SSDs combined in a RAID array, its performance is robust but generates substantial heat. The incorporation of four AirJet Minis not only allows for the full unleashing of the SSD’s read-write capabilities but also replaces the original turbofan cooling module, reducing the size of the PCIe expansion card by 40% and yielding lower operational noise.
