Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for providing thermal control of an information handling system may include in response to a request to power on the information handling system, in order to pre-condition a temperature associated with the information handling system to within a desired temperature range, receiving an indication of a temperature associated with the information handling system and based on the indication of the temperature associated with the information handling system, control the one or more temperature control elements for regulating a liquid of a liquid thermal control system to cause the temperature associated with the information handling system to fall within the desired temperature range prior to full powering on of the information handling system.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An information handling system comprising: an information handling resource; and a liquid thermal control system for providing thermal control of the information handling system, and comprising: a fluidic subsystem configured to convey a liquid proximate to the information handling resource in order to either heat the information handling resource, by transferring heat from the information handling resource to the liquid, or cool the information handling resource by transferring heat from the liquid to the information handling resource; one or more temperature control elements configured to regulate temperature of the liquid; and a control subsystem configured to, in response to a request to power on the information handling system, in order to pre-condition a temperature associated with the information handling system to within a desired temperature range: receive an indication of the temperature associated with the information handling system; and based on the indication of the temperature associated with the information handling system, control the one or more temperature control elements to cause the temperature associated with the information handling system to fall within the desired temperature range prior to full powering on of the information handling system; and cause the information handling system to complete full powering on of the information handling system responsive to the temperature associated with the information handling system falling within the desired temperature range; wherein the one or more temperature control elements include a heating element and the control subsystem is configured to control the heating element to heat the liquid in response to the temperature associated with the information handling system being below the desired temperature range; and wherein the one or more temperature control elements include a cooling element and the control subsystem is configured to control the cooling element to cool the liquid in response to the temperature associated with the information handling system being above the desired temperature range. 2. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the liquid comprises water. 3. A liquid thermal control system for providing thermal control of an information handling system, comprising: a fluidic subsystem configured to convey a liquid proximate to an information handling resource of the information handling system in order to either heat the information handling resource, by transferring heat from the information handling resource to the liquid, or cool the information handling resource, by transferring heat from the liquid to the information handling resource; one or more temperature control elements configured to regulate temperature of the liquid; and a control subsystem configured to, in response to a request to power on the information handling system, in order to pre-condition a temperature associated with the information handling system to within a desired temperature range: receive an indication of the temperature associated with the information handling system; and based on the indication of the temperature associated with the information handling system, control the one or more temperature control elements to cause the temperature associated with the information handling system to fall within the desired temperature range prior to full powering on of the information handling system; and cause the information handling system to complete full powering on of the information handling system responsive to the temperature associated with the information handling system falling within the desired temperature range; wherein the one or more temperature control elements include a heating element and the control subsystem is configured to control the heating element to heat the liquid in response to the temperature associated with the information handling system being below the desired temperature range; wherein the one or more temperature control elements include a cooling element and the control subsystem is configured to control the cooling element to cool the liquid in response to the temperature associated with the information handling system being above the desired temperature range. 4. The liquid thermal control system of claim 3 , wherein the liquid comprises water. 5. A method for providing thermal control of an information handling system, comprising: in response to a request to power on the information handling system, in order to pre-condition a temperature associated with the information handling system to within a desired temperature range: receiving an indication of a temperature associated with the information handling system; and based on the indication of the temperature associated with the information handling system, control the one or more temperature control elements for regulating a liquid of a liquid thermal control system to cause the temperature associated with the information handling system to fall within the desired temperature range prior to full powering on of the information handling system; and cause the information handling system to complete full powering on of the information handling system responsive to the temperature associated with the information handling system falling within the desired temperature range; wherein the liquid thermal control system includes a fluidic subsystem configured to convey a liquid proximate to an information handling resource of the information handling system in order to either heat the information handling resource, by transferring heat from the information handling resource to the liquid, or cool the information handling resource, by transferring heat from the liquid to the information handling resource; wherein the one or more temperature control elements include a heating element and the control subsystem is configured to control the heating element to heat the liquid in response to the temperature associated with the information handling system being below the desired temperature range wherein the one or more temperature control elements include a cooling element and the control subsystem is configured to control the cooling element to cool the liquid in response to the temperature associated with the information handling system being above the desired temperature range. 6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the liquid comprises water. 7. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the liquid is selected from the group including ethylene glycol and propylene glycol. 8. The liquid thermal control system of claim 3 , wherein the liquid is selected from the group including ethylene glycol and propylene glycol. 9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the liquid is selected from the group including ethylene glycol and propylene glycol.
