GE Says Its Dual Piezoelectric Cooling Jets Will Lead to Thinner Laptops and Tablets
Posted on December 13, 2012
GE says its Dual Piezoelectric Cooling Jets (DCJ) technology could lead to much thinner tablets and smartphones. The cooling technology is as thin as a credit card. The technology is also much quieter than the fans currently used in laptops and PCs. GE says DCJ also uses half the power of a comparable fan.
Peter de Bock, lead Electronics Cooling Researcher at GE Global Research, said in a statement, "DCJ was developed as an innovative way to dramatically reduce the amount of pressure losses and loading characteristics in aircraft engines and power generation in gas and wind turbines. Over the past 18 months we have addressed many challenges adapting this technology in areas of acoustics, vibration, and power consumption such that the DCJ can now be considered as an optimal cooling solution for ultra-thin consumer electronics products."
