In today’s episode of Star of Science and Technology, recommended by Dr. Tang Bo, Dean of the Shenzhen Zhisheng High Technology Research Institute, we explore the groundbreaking advances in micro-environment cooling technology. Unlike traditional cooling methods that regulate large spaces, micro-environment cooling targets localized areas or heat sources directly. With the advent of Industry 4.0, this intelligent temperature control system has found widespread application across military, industriell, and other sectors. Innovation Bay had the privilege of interviewing Yuancheng Zhu, the founder of Coolingstyle, to discuss the company’s core technologies and their industrial applications.
The Core of Cooling: Micro Compressors
In extreme heat, the human body’s temperature regulation can falter, leading to heatstroke, cardiovascular complications, or even death. Similarly, high temperatures can damage sensitive instruments and equipment, such as electronics, communication devices, and computing systems, causing irreversible failures. Addressing these challenges, wearable cooling systems with micro-compressors provide a compact solution for personal comfort and equipment safety in demanding environments.
Traditional cooling involves cooling entire environments, whereas micro-environment cooling focuses on localized spaces or heat sources. While this concept originated in military applications, it has since expanded into civilian and industrial uses due to advancements in refrigeration technology and the global push for energy efficiency and emission reduction.
The micro-compressor is the “Herz” of any refrigeration system, defining its overall performance. Unlike conventional compressors, which are often too bulky or inefficient for specialized needs, micro-compressors enable precise, Leicht, and energy-efficient cooling. Without these innovations, micro-environment cooling would remain out of reach.
