The Next Generation of
Thermal Management
We're revolutionising compact cooling using disruptive
optical refrigerators
01
Our Mission
Electronics are becoming stronger, smaller, and more efficient. The ‘gold standard’ of thermal management is no longer enough. COOLED is looking to revolutionise device cooling through the use of compact, disruptive, and efficient optical refrigerators.
02
Our Technology
01
Half the Size, Half the Price
Our technology is 50% to 90% smaller, lighter, and cheaper to manufacture than our competitors'.
02
High Efficiency & Reliability
There are no moving parts in our technology, enabling use in sensitive devices and guaranteeing a longer lifespan.
03
Sub-Zero Cooling
Our main competitors cannot go beyond ambient temperatures. COOLED cools devices to cryogenic temperatures.
04
Completely Noiseless
Our technology is completely vibrationless and 100% less noisy
than our main competition.
02
Our Technology
Designed for demanding environments. From space missions and precision sensing to compact consumer electronics.
