Background
As laser technology continues to evolve, it has become increasingly popular in various medical applications, such as surgery, aesthetics, and dermatological treatments, due to its unique advantages like precision, non-contact nature, and minimal damage.
However, the generation of significant heat during the operation of laser equipment poses a significant challenge. Failure to effectively dissipate this heat can seriously affect the stability and safety of the equipment, potentially causing unnecessary harm to patients. And on top of that, medical device designers and manufacturers are required to minimize the size, noise, and power consumption of their equipment, while also incorporating effective thermal management systems.
To ensure the stable operation of medical laser equipment and patient safety, an efficient and reliable cooling system is crucial. Traditionally, cooling systems for medical lasers have been bulky and cumbersome, limiting the mobility and versatility of the devices. The compact cooling system – Mini Liquid Chiller, with its small size, high heat dissipation efficiency, ease of integration, and rock-solid reliability has emerged as an ideal choice for cooling medical laser equipment.
The Optimum Cooling System- Mini Liquid Chiller Module
Currently on the market, what you can only find is ice water coolers or even dry ice, reaching temperatures as low as -90°C. However, this can result in chilled water freezing, potentially affecting the device’s performance and preventing it from delivering the expected outcomes.
The good news is, with our know-how and experience in the micro-refrigeration industry, MOIR has taken a leap forward with the development of the Mini Chiller equipped with a plate evaporator. This compact liquid chiller has transformed into an incredibly powerful and adaptable device. You can seamlessly integrate the plate chiller unit into your medical device for a wide range of applications, offering outstanding value for money and giving you the most design flexibility. There’s no need for ice – just connect the outlet and inlet pipe to the cold pad, and it will work seamlessly 24/7. The core component-flat plate evaporator is nickel blazing, allowing it compatible with not only water, and glycol water mix, but also deionized water which is an ideal solution for medical laser equipment, with no galvanic corrosion problems.
This mini cooing unit offers active performance in injury treatment and post-operative recovery, leveraging active vapor compressor compression and cold technology. It stands apart from traditional ice-based cold therapy solutions. The MOIR cooling unit continuously provides chilled water from its evaporator to the medical equipment’s cold pad hose. The combination of cold and active compression effectively reduces swelling, controls edema, and enhances blood flow and oxygen delivery to injured areas – simulating the body’s natural contractions to promote a faster healing process.
When needed, it keeps you cool, but it can also raise the temperature as required. This dual functionality sets this unit apart from the competition.
MOIR Active Thermal Solution for Medical/ Aesthetic Laser Equipment Cooling
To meet the increasing demand for active thermal management in various medical applications, such as patient core temperature control, skin laser cooling, and laboratory critical instruments cooling, MOIR engineered and manufactured several standard mini cooling units specialized for medical equipment. The plate-type liquid chiller module is the one result of it.
Plate Mini Liquid Chiller Key Features At a Glance
1- Highly Integrated Design. The mini chiller module assembles all the core refrigeration components into an ultra-compact package, sized 197x190x148mm and weighing 3.6kg only, less than a shoe-box size. This design not only reduces the overall size and weight of the medical laser equipment but also simplifies installation and maintenance processes.
2- Efficient Heat Conduction and Dissipation. Utilizing high-performance heat conduction materials and techniques, such as fin-tune condenser, dual efficient fans, and plate-frame heat exchanger(evaporator), this mini cooling system can rapidly expel the heat, maintaining a low-temperature operating state.
3- Energy efficiency and Environmental Friendliness. Equipped with the advanced drive controller and natural R290 refrigerant gas configuration, the liquid chiller unit offers reduced energy consumption, while optimized heat dissipation structures minimize noise and vibration, employing the European low-GWP regulation.
4- Variable Speed Precision Control. Featuring temperature control functionality, this advanced cooling system enables you to regulate the temperature of the laser equipment and adjust the cooling effect based on temperature changes.
5- High Capacity and Reliability. Though ultra-small in size yet performs high cooling capacity of 100~600 watts ( temperature dependent). Each unit is hermetically sealed, charged, and tested in nominal conditions prior to shipment. With an ISO 9001 Quality Management System backing, the mini cooling unit meets the highest standards required in the medical device industry while delivering high reliability.
These plate mini chillers are highly efficient and compact, making them easily integrated into medical and cosmetic devices, or directly into their assembly. Ultimately, this subsystem was intended to leverage MOIR’s refrigeration expertise while giving you the most design flexibility.
The Potential Cooling Option for Medical/Aesthetic Laser Device
The medical industry is expecting a continuous surge in the demand for medical equipment cooling, as cooling solutions are crucial in reducing the heat load generated by medical equipment during diagnostic procedures. By maintaining the life cycle of medical laser equipment, these refrigeration systems contribute significantly to delivering quality patient care.
Medical equipment often requires internal cooling, like X-ray machines, MRI machines, and home health air suppliers. These healthcare devices all combine the requirements of refrigeration, air conditioning, or humidification. MOIR caters to this need by designing and manufacturing mini refrigeration systems specifically for the medical aesthetic industry. Now MOIR’s active thermal management solutions can be widely in various applications throughout the medical industry where space, efficiency, and reliability are key parameters.
Now, we have developed the world’s smallest refrigerated compressor and have leveraged this technology to create a range of commercial and personal cooling modules. If your medical applications need a unique, high-efficiency, compact cooling solution, MOIR has the technology and decade of experience necessary to work with you to create a refrigeration system at the minimum cost, footprint, and weight and provide you with distinct market advantages.
