    Computers get warm . And the more powerful the processor, the more it warms up. Servers can generally be heated at home . And if it is a compact computer, all of whose components are packed very tightly, it heats up even more. And if this is a top-end smartphone, then it is powerful and miniature. He basks in the summer on the street, in a car without air conditioning, and even among motorcyclists who use it as a navigator. And if a water cooling system can be integrated into a desktop PC , then it cannot be shoved into a small smartphone case. Or is it possible?

    The Japanese, specialists in cramming the uncanny, believe that nothing is impossible. Kawasaki engineers at Fujitsu Laboratories recently announcedminiature liquid cooling system designed for portable electronics. The flat copper circuit inside which the coolant moves has an evaporator in contact with the processor. In another part of the circuit is a condenser-cooler.

    And the smartphone is getting cold, like the heart of my ex.

    Engineers claim to have developed the world's thinnest liquid cooling system. The thickness of the condenser is 1 mm, and the rest of the “pipeline”, including the evaporator, is 0.6 mm. The linear dimensions of the finished device are 107 by 58 mm. In this case, the flat tube and the evaporator are composed of six layers - two external and four internal, each of which is not thicker than 0.1 mm.

    Holes were made in the inner layers that contribute to the capillary effect, pumping fluid along the circuit. Such a cooling circuit works efficiently at any position of the device to be cooled. In this case, the final configuration of the circuit can be adjusted to the size and device of almost any portable electronics.

    The company expects to begin installing coolers in electronics by 2017.
