Medical Laser aesthetic treatment devices generate a significant amount of heat during operation, and poor heat dissipation can directly affect the lifespan of the laser treatment device and even cause harm to the skin and suboptimal user experience. Traditional laser treatment devices mostly rely on natural air cooling for heat dissipation, which has limited heat dissipation capacity and unsatisfactory cooling effects and cannot create an ice-pack effect on the treatment head. The light source components inside the device and the air inlet on the front of the radiator use air cooling for heat dissipation, resulting in slow heat dissipation, poor cooling effects, and a suboptimal user experience. This also affects hair removal efficiency and effectiveness and can lead to the formation of water mist or droplets, causing damage to the control circuit board.

Therefore, the key to enhancing the product lies in achieving excellent heat dissipation for laser treatment devices, ensuring that there is no burning sensation or skin burns after prolonged use, and improving the user experience.  In these cases, an efficient cooling solution, which can be built directly into the equipment, is a must. However, the compact housing of such devices often does not offer sufficient space. So far, the only solution has been either to reduce the cooling output or to use larger housings.

Compact Active Cooling System Required

Today, Compressor cooling (Vapor compression technology) and thermoelectric cooling (Peltier technology) are the only two technology options available to achieve the cooling performance for versatile thermal management applications where space and reliability are crucial.

Prior to 2008, the thermoelectric cooling system is widely applied for electronics cooling, including medical laser devices. It is relatively compact and energy efficient, but it only has a limited cooling effect which is dependent on ambient temperature which makes matters even more complicated.

Nowadays, the medical laser market’s demand for smaller yet more powerful cooling performance systems is growing. An effective alternative is needed – the innovative cooling technology with an unbelievably small compressor which barely had the size of a drink can comes out. It is a powerful active cooling system with a significantly smaller footprint and a higher level of compactness than traditional solutions, consuming 4 to 6 times less power than equivalent thermolectric technology which makes them very expensive to operate.

New Opportunit for the Medical Laser Equipment Sector

MOIR specializes in engineering and providing micro-compressor refrigeration solutions for thermal management in ultra-thin space. Its mini-cooling system offers the highest cooling performance in the smallest package for laser cooling in medical equipment. Laser surgery is far more precise and gentler than surgical interventions with a scalpel, especially when it comes to the eyes, nose, skin and blood vessels.

Another exciting area of application for the thermal management solution is the direct cooling of parts of the body or bodily functions. The power density of MOIR refrigeration system, its high-temperature stability, and the extremely good power dynamics open up new treatment options for the medical engineering segment. Thanks to their lightweight and compact design, the device becomes much easier and less strenuous to handle. Plus, thanks to its low-voltage technology, the necessary safety approvals for medical equipment applications can be obtained much more easily.

The ultra-compact compressor cooling system also enhances the performance of critical laboratory equipment. These compact cooling systems are utilized for achieving precise and dependable temperature regulation in a wide range of analytical applications. For instance, they can be employed to chill the radiation source of a spectroscope or to ensure that analytical chambers maintain their appropriate temperature.

Increasing Demand Expected

The demand for smaller yet more powerful cooling solutions is increasing in the global market. Moir Cooling has successfully developed a portfolio of cooling and temperature control systems based on the 24V-DC miniature compressor on the market.  They greatly satisfy the growing market segment of customers who want to take advantage of MOIR’s refrigeration expertise but can handle the coolant circuitry and the system controls.

This mini-compressor is as powerful as any commercially available piston compressor while also offering a considerably higher level of compactness, low weight, and quietness.  Plus, coupled with an advanced motor drive control, the mini rotary compressor delivers accurate temperature control functions and high energy efficiency.  Thanks to its low-voltage technology, the necessary safety approvals for medical equipment applications can be obtained much more easily. The ISO 9001 Quality Management System ensures our products are developed and manufactured to the highest standards required in the medical device field while delivering high reliability, meeting customers’ expectations.  

In the meantime, MOIR’s smallest rotary compressor has the same size as a 250ml drink can, weighing 620g only which can support an unbelievably compact and lightweight cooling system. Compared to traditional cooling solutions, the complete cooling systems package takes up only a box size of the installation space. What’s more, its weight is 30% lower than that of conventional solutions. This makes it highly attractive for compact & mobile applications.  

Due to its numerous benefits, the mini-compressor-based cooling systems will become an alternative to traditional thermoelectrical cooling systems as the cooling performance of the latter is limited at high ambient temperatures. The thermoelectric cooling has a role in niche applications,  just not for long-term bulk cooling. Especially for cooling requirements above 300+ watts,  miniature-compressor refrigeration is a superior choice for medical laser equipment.
