Consumer Electronics

Consumer electronics represent the electronic devices we encounter most frequently in daily life, encompassing smartphones, tablets, laptops, wearable devices, smart home appliances, gaming consoles, and AR/VR headsets. With the continuous advancement of chip computing power and the increasing integration of functions, the power consumption and heat generation of these devices are also steadily rising. For instance, 5G smartphones must simultaneously handle high-speed communications and AI computations, while the CPU/GPU performance of laptops and gaming consoles is increasingly approaching desktop-level capabilities. Wearable devices, too, now incorporate sensors, communication modules, and AI algorithms. Consequently, thermal management has become a critical factor in ensuring both performance and user experience.

Most consumer devices impose stringent constraints on size and weight, requiring heat dissipation solutions to achieve efficient heat exchange within limited space without significantly increasing device weight.When users hold, wear, or touch devices, the casing temperature must remain comfortable and not feel uncomfortably hot to the touch, as this could impair the experience or even lead to complaints.Consumer electronics typically pursue silent or low-noise operation, necessitating optimisation of fan size, rotational speed, and airflow path design in air-cooling solutions, or the adoption of entirely fanless passive cooling designs. Consumer electronics undergo rapid iteration with short design cycles, demanding thermal solutions capable of swift design, validation, and mass production to meet market demands.
