Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A thermal state within an information handling system enclosure is managed within predetermined constraints by estimating thermal energy introduced to the enclosure by power dissipation to electronic components and thermal energy removed from the enclosure by a cooling airflow generated by a fan. A desired bulk temperature of a cooling airflow is attained at a predetermined position in an enclosure by selecting a fan speed and power allocation to the components that conserves energy within the enclosure at a predetermined thermal state.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An information handling system comprising: an enclosure having an inlet and an outlet; plural components disposed in the enclosure and operable to cooperate to process information; a cooling fan disposed in the enclosure and operable to generate a cooling airflow from the inlet to the outlet with a selected of plural available fan speeds; a power supply operable to power the plural components; an inlet temperature sensor operable to sense airflow tem…
