Mitsubishi Electric Creates Microbubble Flow System

Mitsubishi Electric announced that the company has developed an innovative technology that creates millimeter-scale flow inside a narrow channel using microbubbles, a process that can replace the conventional pump-based circulation in a cooling system and unlock the path to more efficient and compact thermal management. The new system was developed through joint research with the Suzuki & Namura Laboratory at the Faculty of Engineering, Kyoto University. In this technique, microbubbles with a diameter of about 10 µm act as the driving source for fluid flow. This microbubble flow technology is a promising innovation that may help bring carbon-neutral and energy-efficient cooling solutions for electronics, particularly high-output devices like AI servers, with a ripple effect in many sectors in Japan.
