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.
