Abstract
An information handling system includes a computing device, a computing component of the computing device that is housed in a chassis, and a chilled air filter that reduces a humidity level of a portion of an airflow when the chilled air filter is in an active state. The portion of the airflow thermally manages the computing component. The airflow is received by the chassis via an air receiving exchange and exhausted by the chassis via an air expelling exchange.
Claims20
An information handling system comprising a computing device, the information handling system comprising:
- a computing component of the computing device that is housed in a chassis;
- and
- a chilled air filter adapted to reduce a humidity level of a portion of an airflow when the chilled air filter is in an active state, wherein the portion of the airflow is adapted to thermally manage the computing component,
- wherein the airflow is:
- received by the chassis via an air receiving exchange, and
- exhausted by the chassis via an air expelling exchange.
A method for environmentally managing an information handling system comprising a computing device, comprising:
- thermally managing, using a portion of an airflow, a computing component of the computing device that is housed in a chassis;
- and
- reducing a humidity level of the portion of the airflow using a chilled air filter while:
- the chilled air filter is in an active state, and
- the computing component is being thermally managed by the portion of the airflow,
- wherein the portion of the airflow is:
- received by the chassis via an air receiving exchange, and
- exhausted by the chassis via an air expelling exchange.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method for environmentally managing an information handling system comprising a computing device, the method comprising:
- thermally managing, using a portion of an airflow, a computing component of the computing device that is housed in a chassis;
- and
- reducing a humidity level of the portion of the airflow using a chilled air filter while the chilled air filter is in an active state and the computing component is being thermally managed by the portion of the airflow,
- wherein the portion of the airflow is:
- received by the chassis via an air receiving exchange, and
- exhausted by the chassis via an air expelling exchange.
