Ventiva, the leader in thermal solutions, today announced that its Ventiva ICE9 thermal management suite is being featured in a fan-less proof-of-concept laptop design, powered by Intel Lunar Lake processors at CES. By collaborating with Dell Technologies and Intel on the PC design, this concept introduces a new level of silent productivity for sub-12 mm laptops.

"Ventiva ICE technology offers a revolutionary approach to help achieve thin, light, and silent laptop designs that offer great performance," said Josh Newman, Vice President, Client Computing Group, and General Manager, Product Marketing & Management, Intel. "Intel is excited about the result of the close co-engineering collaboration with Ventiva and Dell Technologies to help ready their technology for future Intel Core Ultra devices."




"The performance and efficiency of Intel's Lunar Lake processors, along with Dell's system design expertise and Ventiva's thin, silent air movers, resulted in a truly groundbreaking machine," said Carl Schlachte, Chairman, President, and CEO of Ventiva. "The overwhelming reaction to this 'no-compromises' fan-less laptop has motivated the entire Ventiva team to continue pushing the boundaries of what ICE technology can achieve. We look forward to creating even more incredibly cool machines with Intel."

Ventiva's ICE9 thermal management suite is based on the company's patented Ionic Cooling Engine (ICE ) technology, which eliminates the need for mechanical fans, using intelligent software control to enable optimal performance in electronics devices—without any moving parts, noise, or vibration. The ultra-compact ICE9 solution enables laptop designs with a height of less than 12 mm, rivaling the thinnest laptops on the market today. Its space-efficient form factor not only supports sleek, thin designs but also provides original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with the flexibility to integrate additional functionalities into their products.

About ICE Technology
Ventiva's patented ICE technology generates movement of air without any moving parts, noise, or vibration, leveraging the principles of electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flow to move ionized air molecules within an electric field. The ICE9 thermal management suite offers a "smart" cooling solution that continuously monitors its operation, delivering more or less airflow as an electronic system requires. Combining advanced monitoring and algorithms, the ICE9 suite's real-time software can be combined with overall system performance monitoring to provide a robust device-wide thermal solution.

I'd like to see the power consumption figures on this.... If it is indeed no moving parts... not sure how...but that's very interesting of a solution. I give it 5 months before they have a Chinese clone...

It uses high voltage to ionize surrounding air. Static pressure is very low and airflow has physical speed limits due to the fact that past a certain voltage ionization stops. In addition efficiency is 20% lower as compared to regular fans and it decreases as dust builds up. The primary advantages are the benefits to the product's design (you can go thinner) and noise (it's imperceptible in any normal room).
