The semiconductor chip shortage wreaking havoc on the automotive and tech industries is forecasted to reach into 2023. A Boston-based start-up has a solution for enterprises to do more with their limited chip supply by using an innovative liquid cooling solution.
MIT spinoff JETCOOL Technologies Inc. offers a direct-to-chip liquid cooling technology, named microconvective liquid cooling, that unlocks exceptional device performance even with fewer chips. Unlike typical heat sinks or cold plates that pass fluid over a surface, cooling jets are used to route fluid directly at the surface, creating an order-of-magnitude improvement in heat transfer.
The jet impingement cooling technology enables greater output from fewer chips, increasing compute capacity for intensive workloads even with today's limited supply of new semiconductor processors.
For automotive applications, the system handles the industry's most powerful devices, enabling electric vehicle powertrain inverters to run efficiently and sustain extreme output with fewer silicon carbide chips.
