Electronic component having a movable louver

An integrated cooling and computing system, said system comprising:

• a substantially air-sealed enclosure housing at least one electronics cabinet, wherein at least one electronic component is mounted in the at least one electronics cabinet, said at least one electronic component comprising:
• a housing having an inlet section, a mid-section, and an outlet section;
• at least one movable louver positioned in at least one of the inlet section, the mid-section, and the outlet section;
• and
• an actuator configured to manipulate the at least one movable louver to vary a volume flowrate of airflow through the housing;
• a controller configured to operate the actuator to one of substantially maintain an environmental condition change from the inlet section to the outlet section of the at least one electronic component within a predetermined range and substantially restrict airflow through the housing when the at least one electronic component is in a relatively low operational state;
• and
• an air mover for circulating airflow within the enclosure.

A method for variably cooling at least one electronic component, said at least one electronic component having at least one movable louver positioned to vary airflow through the at least one electronic component, and mounting components for mounting the at least one electronic component within an electronics cabinet, said method comprising:

• determining an environmental condition change from an inlet section to an outlet section of the at least one electronic component;
• determining whether the environmental condition change is within a predetermined range;
• and
• in response to the environmental condition change from the inlet section to the outlet section being outside of the predetermined range, manipulating the movable louver to vary airflow through the at least one electronic component to one of bring the environmental condition change within the predetermined range and substantially restrict airflow through the housing when the electronic component is in a relatively low operational state.
