About SynJet Technology

The SynJet module uses synthetic jets to create turbulent, pulsated air-jets that can be directed precisely to locations where active thermal management is needed for industrial spot or chip cooling requiring high reliability and flexible form-factor implementations.

The vortex-dominated SynJet flow enhances small-scale mixing near the heated surfaces to yield higher effective heat transfer at low-volume flow rates compared to conventional air movers. The SynJet flow is created using Nuventix' patented actuator technology and proprietary fluidic packaging expertise. High flexibility, reliability and effective active cooling are all necessary to create super bright LED lighting solutions for retail, business and consumer audiences.
