Profile of Microblower<Market trend and needs>

Thermal technology is increasing its importance, especially in small/compact electronic equipments.Customers are looking for a smaller cooling device than DC fan.

◆Feature- Small and thin (20×20×1.8mm)- High output pressure (≧1kPa)- Low power consumption◆Application-Air cooler for compact equipmentssuch as DVC, DSC, and UMPC, etc

-Air pump for Fuel Cell, Gas Sensor,Ionizer, Fragrance, etc.

Air flow with high velocity generates lower pressure to suck airaround, which makes real net flow ( Bernouilli’s theorem )

High velocity -> Low pressure -> Suck air around -> Push out to outlet

Cooling methods

Vertical Horizontal -1 Horizontal -2

- Minimizing mounting area- Certain distance is necessary to enhance cooling performance. (Cooling only by the amount of flowing from the blower if the distance is too close)

- Cooling effect is enhanced if there is some space above a material.- Effect of increasing Net amount of flowing.- Making thermal boundary thinner owing to flowing speed. - Not so adequate for low profile mounting.

-Cooling effect is enhanced if there is some space above a material.- Lower profile mounting is possible.- Attachment is necessary.
