Temperature adaptive information handling system

A method, in an information handling system comprising one or more information handling resources, a thermoelectric cooler, first heat-rejecting media thermally coupled to a first side of the thermoelectric cooler such that when electrical energy is applied to the thermoelectric cooler, heat is transferred from the first heat-rejecting media to the first side of the thermoelectric cooler, second heat-rejecting media thermally coupled to a second side of the thermoelectric cooler such that when electrical energy is applied to the thermoelectric cooler, heat is transferred from the second side of the thermoelectric cooler to the second heat-rejecting media, a first exhaust plenum arranged such that airflow through the first exhaust plenum is isolated from the one or more information handling resources, a second exhaust plenum arranged such that airflow through the second exhaust plenum is isolated from the one or more information handling resources, and a plurality of mechanical structures arranged relative to the one or more information handling resources, the thermoelectric cooler, the first heat-rejecting media, the second heat-rejecting media, the first exhaust plenum, and the second exhaust plenum, the method comprising controlling positions of the plurality of mechanical structures to:

• selectively direct airflow cooled by the first heat-rejecting media between flowing through the first exhaust plenum and flowing proximate to the one or more information handling resources;
• and
• selectively direct airflow heated by the second heat-rejecting media between flowing through the second exhaust plenum and flowing proximate to the one or more information handling resources.

An article of manufacture, comprising;

• a non-transitory computer readable medium;
• and
• computer-executable instructions carried on the computer readable medium, the instructions readable by a processor, the instructions, when read and executed, for causing the processor to, in an information handling system comprising one or more information handling resources, a thermoelectric cooler, first heat-rejecting media thermally coupled to a first side of the thermoelectric cooler such that when electrical energy is applied to the thermoelectric cooler, heat is transferred from the first heat-rejecting media to the first side of the thermoelectric cooler, second heat-rejecting media thermally coupled to a second side of the thermoelectric cooler such that when electrical energy is applied to the thermoelectric cooler, heat is transferred from the second side of the thermoelectric cooler to the second heat-rejecting media, a first exhaust plenum arranged such that airflow through the first exhaust plenum is isolated from the one or more information handling resources, a second exhaust plenum arranged such that airflow through the second exhaust plenum is isolated from the one or more information handling resources, and a plurality of mechanical structures arranged relative to the one or more information handling resources, the thermoelectric cooler, the first heat-rejecting media, the second heat-rejecting media, the first exhaust plenum, and the second exhaust plenum, control positions of the plurality of mechanical structures to:
• selectively direct airflow cooled by the first heat-rejecting media between flowing through the first exhaust plenum and flowing proximate to the one or more information handling resources;
• and
• selectively direct airflow heated by the second heat-rejecting media between flowing through the second exhaust plenum and flowing proximate to the one or more information handling resources.
