Have you ever wondered why some computers do not have a fan?

Why computers used in factories are often fanless?

What is the advantage of a fanless computer and how does a fanless computer work?

Fanless computers operate without conventional cooling fans, the two principal types of cooling in computers are Active and Passive, and the industrial and commercial applications of fanless computers.

A fan is a common peripheral for heat-dispatching. However, fans require regular cleaning and are easy to gather dust, resulting in needing a lot of shutdown time for cleaning. Therefore, a fan is not an ideal cooling solution for a harsh environment such as mining or vehicle cabin.

To maintain steady operation in such an environment, fanless computers leverage heat sinks and convection cooling to manage thermal dissipation. This method allows for more efficient operation and a low failure rate, making it particularly beneficial in dusty or harsh environments which require such as vehicle cabins or harsh and in extreme environments where traditional cooling systems may falter.
