Yangtze River Daily Wuhan client April 14 (reporter Hao Tianjiao Wang Shuangshuang) As the performance of mobile phones becomes more and more powerful, mobile phone heat dissipation has become a hot spot for young people. A month ago, a "fever-reducing mobile phone case" was first reported by the Yangtze River Daily and became a "net red" mobile phone case sought after by netizens: whether it is playing games, watching videos, or working, putting on this mobile phone case can alleviate the high heat emitted by mobile phones.
The reporter learned that behind this is the efforts of a company called "Wuhan Runde Engineering Technology Co., Ltd." (hereinafter referred to as Wuhan Runde Company). With Professor Hu Xuejiao of Wuhan University as the leader, the company has brought together a group of management and technical elites who graduated from Stanford University, Tsinghua University, Wuhan University and other famous universities at home and abroad, focusing on studying various "cooling" problems.
Cool the seawater and solve the problem of marine thermal pollution
On April 14, the reporter came to Wuhan Runde Company located in Wuhan Economic Development Zone and met Zhang Xiantao, partner and associate researcher of Wuhan Runde, who said: "Heat dissipation and cooling are the direction of our research. In 2012, Zhang Xiantao studied for a doctorate in thermal energy and power engineering at the School of Power and Mechanical Engineering of Wuhan University, and was exposed to heat energy related theories. After 10 years of theoretical research and technological precipitation, the company was jointly established with Professor Hu Xuejiao of Wuhan University on November 21, 2019, and after two years of transformation of technological achievements, a breakthrough was finally achieved.
In addition to heating mobile phones, Wuhan Runde Company is also committed to "cooling" the ocean. Zhang Xiantao told reporters that in recent years, marine thermal pollution has entered the public eye. To this end, Wuhan Runde Company uses nano-bionic technology to absorb offshore thermal pollution.

Walking into the laboratory of Wuhan Runde Company, the reporter saw that the equipment that cooled the sea water was silver throughout, and the body was huge, almost two people tall. "This experimental equipment has more than ten pipe components alone, pumping seawater into the pipeline and transporting it to the heat dissipation material at high altitude to achieve a cooling effect." Zhang Xiantao said.
He said that the equipment in the test link alone has undergone 2 rounds of iterative upgrading of equipment. As a result, the final delivered product will be larger and heavier than the equipment seen in the lab.
"In fact, cooling the seawater uses the transpiration principle of plants." Zhang Xiantao explained that the summer weather is hot, and everyone generally believes that it is good to cool under the big tree, because the big tree itself is a transpiration cooling system, through the large amount of heat absorbed by the tree and the continuous evaporation of the water in the leaves, to achieve environmental cooling.
The nanobionic technology is similar to the cooling prototype of the big tree. By building a set of nano-anti-seawater desalination system in the power station, the cooling of seawater is realized, and the high value-added fresh water can be obtained while solving heat pollution. "The system can cool the heat of seawater to 4 degrees Celsius and produce 2,000 tons of usable fresh water per day."
"At this moment, our staff is in Guangdong for equipment commissioning. The system is expected to be delivered by the end of this year. Zhang Xiantao said.
In the future, it can be extended to the fields of automobile energy saving and automobile exhaust heat energy conversion and utilization
Zhang Xiantao revealed that it is roughly estimated that the scale of warming and drainage cooling projects in the operating nuclear power market can reach tens of billions, excluding thermal power stations and power stations under construction.
However, it also faces the problems of long production cycle, large input costs and slow project payment. Because it belongs to a high-end industry, it is currently facing a shortage of talents and the support of capital.
"The unique advantages of the automobile industry in Wuhan Economic Development Zone can help the company's research and development and subsequent project construction." Zhang Xiantao said that less than 2 years after the company entered the TusPark, it has enjoyed the park's unique 'high-tech enterprises', 'Chegu Talents' targeted direct compensation incentives, financing assistance, and a series of policy dividends provided by the Wuhan Economic Development Zone. "To a large extent, we have solved the problems encountered in the development process."
"Independent innovation technology companies like us are very much in need of external publicity after the successful incubation of new technologies, before, the Yangtze River Daily and other media reported our mobile phone cases, making us become 'Internet celebrities'." Zhang Xiantao said with a smile, "All of a sudden, some power generation and energy companies related to thermal power and photovoltaics have taken the initiative to talk to us about cooperation." ”

Zhang Xiantao introduced that at present, through the use of nano-bionic technology, the company has successfully developed several products for buildings, photovoltaic panels, semiconductor cooling and so on. "Even the clothes we wear may be cooling applications." In the future, it can also be extended to the fields of automobile energy saving and automobile exhaust heat conversion and utilization, and the application prospect is broad.
