Xiaomi has announced a new cooling solution aimed at smartphones. Dubbed Loop LiquidCool, Xiaomi claims that its new heat dissipation technology has twice the cooling capabilities of conventional vapor chambers.
According to the company, Loop LiquidCool utilizes an annular heat pipe system consisting of an evaporator, a condenser, a refill chamber, and gas & liquid pipes. When the smartphone pulls off heavy workloads, the refrigerant in the evaporator evaporates to gas and is diffused to the condenser. In the condenser, the gas turns liquid again and is collected through tiny fibers in the refill chamber that refills the evaporator.
“Loop LiquidCool Technology utilizes a capillary effect which draws liquid cooling agent to the heat source, vaporizes, and then disperses the heat efficiently towards a cooler area, until the agent condenses and is captured via a unidirectional closed looped channel,” explains Xiaomi in a blog post.
Xiaomi plans to bring this new heat dissipation technique to its phones in the second half of 2022. It will be interesting to see if Xiaomi’s cooling technology makes a real-world difference while playing the best Android games.
