    摘要: A computer system and method for measuring air density in a computer chassis. The computer chassis includes a fan, an ambient air temperature sensor, and a heat-generating device with a heat sink, a heat sink temperature sensor, and a controller. The controller controls the fan speed and applies a known amount of thermal energy to the heat sink, then determines the air density from the difference in temperature between the ambient air and the heat sink. The controller may then use the air density determination to adjust the air flow rate through the computer chassis to provide a proper air flow rate for cooling.

    摘要: A temperature isolation duct in a computer system comprising a chassis securing a circuit board and a fan system, wherein the fan system draws air through the chassis in an airflow direction, and a heat-generating component is mounted on the circuit board and exposed to the air flow. The hot air duct passively directs air heated by the heat-generating component from a single hot air duct inlet in direct downstream alignment with the heat-generating component to a single hot air duct outlet, wherein the hot air duct has a length to width aspect ratio of greater than four. A first thermal sensor is secured within, or direct alignment with, the hot air duct near the duct outlet for sensing the temperature of air flowing through the hot air duct and generating a first temperature signal. A controller is in electronic communication with the first thermal sensor for receiving the temperature signal and in electronic communication with the fan system for sending a fan speed control signal. Optionally, the hot air duct may extend through, over or around a second component on the circuit board to avoid thermal effects of the second component.

    摘要: Systems and methods provide altitude-dependent fan control for a plurality of electronic subsystems using a shared air pressure sensor. Each server or multi-server chassis of a rack system is a subsystem of the rack system. Each subsystem receives its own on-board fan or blower module. The shared air pressure sensor senses air pressure and outputs a signal to all of the subsystems. Each subsystem then independently regulates its own fan speed according to the signal output by the shared air pressure sensor. Other fan operational parameters, such as the number of fans recruited, may also be controlled according to altitude according to the invention. A variety of other performance parameters, such as internal air or component temperature, ambient air temperature, server workload, and processor activity level, may also be factored into control of these fan operational parameters.
