Company
One of the most famous Koolance developments is the Exos external water cooling system, which is the entire set of elements necessary for building a water cooling system: a radiator with fans, a pump, a fluid tank, tubes, water blocks , a refrigerant, and system control and monitoring elements [3 ] [4] . Prior to the existence of the Exos system, it was necessary to purchase separate elements of the water cooling system, including from different manufacturers, which required various modifications of the elements, both for the computer and for the system itself.
Also worth noting is the proprietary Koolance Hydra-Pak technology. The principle of operation is very simple - in a special aluminum casing there are packages in which the liquid circulates, the packages fit snugly on the microcircuit, which ensures efficient heat dissipation. This technology was used to cool video cards, hard drives and RAM modules [5] [6] [7] .
In 2001, the world's first power supply for a computer with a power of 230 watts was introduced, the components of which were completely immersed in a non-conductive coolant. In 2007, the company introduced a 1200-watt power supply unit built using liquid cooling [8] . In 2008, the power supply was already 1,700 watts. At the moment, the development of power supplies is discontinued.
Currently, Koolance has expanded the range of OEM waterblocks for processors , video cards , RAM , hard drives , motherboards . He is engaged in the design of industrial systems.
In Russia, Koolance is widely represented by Meijin , which uses Koolance products to build powerful water-cooled gaming computers [9] [10] .
