Huawei MateBook Fold has unique dual diamond fan cooling technology

Huawei today shed light on the world’s first 18-inch foldable PC: MateBook Fold and its unique cooling technology. One of the company’s officials has dismantled the folding notebook and uncovered the hidden tech secrets of the device.

Richard Yu, the Huawei Consumer Business Chairman, posted a teardown video of the MateBook Fold PC. He showcased different parts of the device, including the screen, batteries, VC heat sinks, and more.

Although the highlight of this teardown clip is Huawei MateBook Fold PC’s dual diamond fan cooling technology. Yu reveals that the company has integrated a unique heat dissipation solution to its first-ever foldable PC.

Unlike ordinary PC cooling tech, this solution contains two built-in diamond aluminum fans that are super-light yet powerful. Aluminum is well known for its excellent corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity. It can also achieve high strength while maintaining low density.

Both diamond-like fans form a strong heat dissipation architecture. On the greener side, these fans are thinner than two coins and measure only 3.5mm (together).

Yu mentioned that heat dissipation seemed a major challenge at the beginning, but the MateBook Fold PC made a breakthrough in the cooling upgrade.

3D anti-gravity VC board

Apart from the dual-diamond fans, the MateBook Fold PC also has a 3D anti-gravity vapor chamber board.

Yu explained that being foldable, the PC allows users to use it in multiple ways. But the refluxed liquid needs to overcome the gravity challenges and flow back to the heat source. Here’s when the anti-gravity tech plays the key role.

The 3D structure enables the liquid to break through gravity and easily flow back to the origin. Further, the three-dimensional approach widens the VC board’s pipeline from three to four lanes. Hence, it efficiently reduces the heat, irrespective of the PC’s placement.
