AirJet Mini G2: Frore Systems unveils next-gen silent cooling technology

Frore Systems recently introduced its AirJet Mini G2 membrane-based thermal solution. According to the company, the new version (data sheet in PDF) is capable of dissipating up to 7.5 watts of heat at a maximum power usage of 1.2 watts. This marks a 50% performance increase over the Mini Slim whilst only requiring 20% more power, simplifying its integration in battery-powered portable devices.

At just 2.5 mm (~0.1 in) thick, the AirJet G2 active cooling chip is even thinner than the Slim variant designed for particularly compact devices. Both the Slim and G1 models will remain available to support the long-term planning of manufacturers incorporating AirJets into their products. However, the G1 model is no longer actively featured on Frore System's official website, suggesting there likely won’t be any new designs based on it, especially since the membrane-based cooling system doesn’t necessarily need to operate at 7.5 watts of heat dissipation. Notably, the datasheet lacks a graph showing the relationship between power usage and heat dissipation. 

At Computex, Frore Systems hinted at potential new applications for the G2 variant but didn’t go into details. Based on specifications alone, the AirJet Mini G2 appears technically superior to previous models.

Frore Systems also showcased various use cases at the trade show. It’s apparent that the company focused primarily on industrial applications, with one example being a short-wave infrared (SWIR) camera for production lines that is cooled using AirJets.

It remains uncertain when the first devices with the AirJet Mini G2 will launch, as manufacturers need to first develop compatible designs for this next-gen solid-state thermal solution.
