CALCULATE MINIMUM REQUIRED COOLING FAN SPEEDS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17846402 titled 'CALCULATE MINIMUM REQUIRED COOLING FAN SPEEDS
Simplified Explanation
An information handling system has a method for calculating temperature changes within the system and determining if cooling requirements are met. Here are the key points:
- The system calculates temperature changes across different components of the information handling system.
- It also calculates multiple inlet temperatures, each associated with a different component.
- These inlet temperatures are used to determine if the cooling requirements for the system configuration are met.
- The system considers temperature changes and inlet velocities to make this determination.
- If the cooling requirements are not met, the system decreases the current cooling fan speed.
- If the cooling requirements are met, the system stores the current cooling fan speed.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various industries and scenarios where temperature management is crucial, such as:
- Data centers: Ensuring optimal cooling for servers and networking equipment.
- Industrial machinery: Monitoring and controlling temperature in manufacturing processes.
- Automotive: Regulating temperature in vehicle components to prevent overheating.
- Consumer electronics: Managing temperature in devices like laptops and gaming consoles.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the following problems:
- Overheating: By monitoring temperature changes and inlet velocities, the system can prevent components from overheating, which can lead to performance issues or even hardware failure.
- Energy efficiency: By adjusting the cooling fan speed based on cooling requirements, the system can optimize energy usage and reduce power consumption.
- System reliability: By continuously monitoring and adjusting cooling, the system can ensure the reliability and longevity of the information handling system.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved performance: By maintaining optimal temperatures, the system can enhance the overall performance and efficiency of the information handling system.
- Energy savings: By dynamically adjusting cooling fan speed, the system can reduce energy consumption and lower operational costs.
- Enhanced reliability: By preventing overheating, the system increases the reliability and lifespan of the components, reducing the need for repairs or replacements.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information handling system may calculate multiple temperature changes within the information handling system. Each of the temperature changes is across a different bank of components of the information handling system. The system may calculate multiple inlet temperatures, each of which is associated with a different component of the information handling system. The inlet temperatures are utilized in determining whether cooling requirements for the system configuration are met. Based on the temperature changes and the inlet velocities, the system may determine whether the cooling requirements are met. In response to the cooling requirements for the system configuration not being met, the system may decrease a current cooling fan speed for the information handling system. In response to the cooling requirements for the system configuration being met, the system may store the current cooling fan speed.
