Abstract:
An electronic device including a housing configured to house one or more electronic components, an air filter, a fan disposed within the housing, and an air pressure sensor disposed within the housing is disclosed. The air filter is disposed within an air inlet defined by the housing. The fan is configured to cause air to enter the housing via the air inlet such that the air flows through the air filter and within the housing. The air pressure sensor generates data used to determine air pressure values within the housing that are based at least in part on the air flowing through the air filter and within the housing. Based on the determined air pressure values from the air pressure sensor, a status of the air filter can be determined, and an indication that the air filter is in need of replacement can be generated and transmitted to a user.
