Frore has equipped its MacBook Air with AirJet Mini ultrasonic coolers that can dissipate up to 4.25 watts of thermal energy
Frore has created an ultrasonic cooler for MacBook Air. This is reported by The Verge, whose journalists were able to familiarise themselves with the new development.
Here's What We Know
Frore has created a new version of the AirJet cooler. It was called AirJet Mini and was installed in a laptop MacBook Air 15, equipped with an Apple M2 mobile processor. This model was chosen because it does not have an active cooling system.
AirJet Mini can be installed on any warming component of the system, including the chip. The cooler has copper membranes that vibrate and force airflow to cool computer components. A similar effect is used to cool jet engines in aircraft.
The AirJet Mini, which is rectangular in shape, has an air intake port at the top. After the air draws heat from the hot components, it is blown out through the laptop's vents.
The new ultrasonic cooler is 2.8mm thick. It is almost twice as thin as the fans that are usually used in laptops. Frore's specialists had to use milling to reduce the thickness of the Apple MacBook Air 15's lid by 0.3mm, remove Wi-Fi and one speaker.
The notebook was equipped with three AirJet Mini coolers at once, which together can dissipate up to 12.75 watts of thermal energy. Each fan consumes 1W during operation. However, journalists note that the trio of coolers consumed more than 5W from USB-C.
The result of using the AirJet Mini didn't take long to see. Apple MacBook Air 15 gave out 29 FPS in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and the test in Xcode finished in 172.7 s. In comparison, the laptop without coolers had results of 28 FPS and 178.2s respectively.
