Abstract
An information handling system includes a computing component that is sensitive to corrosion; and a chassis in which the computing component is disposed. The chassis receives an airflow used to thermally manage the computing component, and expels the airflow after thermally managing the computing component. The information handling system also includes an environmental control component that reduces a condensation formation propensity of a portion of the airflow that traverses the chassis proximate to the computing component.
Claims20
An information handling system, comprising:
- a computing component that is sensitive to corrosion;
- and
- a chassis in which the computing component is disposed, the chassis is adapted to:
- receive an airflow used to thermally manage the computing component, and
- expel the airflow after thermally managing the computing component;
- and
- an environmental control component adapted to reduce a condensation formation propensity of a portion of the airflow that traverses the chassis proximate to the computing component.
A method for environmentally managing a an information handling system, comprising:
- thermally managing a computing component that is sensitive to corrosion using an airflow received by a chassis that houses the computing component;
- and
- while thermally managing the computing component, reducing a condensation formation propensity of a portion of the airflow that traverses the chassis proximate to the computing component using an environmental control component,
- wherein the environmental control component is a passive device.
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, the method comprising:
- thermally managing a computing component that is sensitive to corrosion using an airflow received by a chassis that houses the computing component;
- and
- while thermally managing the computing component, reducing a condensation formation propensity of a portion of the airflow that traverses the chassis proximate to the computing component using an environmental control component,
- wherein the environmental control component is a passive device.
