Abstract
An information handling system may include an information handling resource, an air mover configured to drive air to cool the information handling resource, and a thermal control system for controlling the air mover and configured to determine an air speed requirement for the air mover and regulate an air speed of the air mover to optimize an airflow-versus-power efficiency of the air mover while satisfying the air speed requirement.
Claims16
An information handling system comprising:
- an information handling resource;
- an air mover configured to drive air to cool the information handling resource;
- and
- a thermal control system for controlling the air mover and configured to:
- determine an air speed requirement for the air mover wherein the air speed requirement comprises an acoustic-based limit for the air speed of the air mover;
- and
- regulate an air speed of the air mover to optimize an airflow-versus-power efficiency of the air mover while satisfying the air speed requirement.
(canceled)
A method comprising:
- determining an air speed requirement for an air mover;
- and
- regulating an air speed of the air mover to optimize an airflow-versus-power efficiency of the air mover while satisfying the air speed requirement wherein the air speed requirement comprises an acoustic-based limit for the air speed of the air mover.
(canceled)
A thermal control system comprising:
- an output for communicating a control signal for regulating an air speed of an air mover;
- and
- logic configured to:
- determine an air speed requirement for the air mover wherein the air speed requirement comprises an acoustic-based limit for the air speed of the air mover;
- and
- regulate an air speed of the air mover to optimize an airflow-versus-power efficiency of the air mover while satisfying the air speed requirement by communicating the control signal.
(canceled)
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:
- determine an air speed requirement for an air mover wherein the air speed requirement comprises an acoustic-based limit for the air speed of the air mover;
- and
- regulate an air speed of the air mover to optimize an airflow-versus-power efficiency of the air mover while satisfying the air speed requirement.
