Claim 15:
16. The method of claim 12, further comprising determining the current real time volumetric airflow rate of the cooling air circulated from the cooling air inlets to the cooling air outlets through the enclosed interior of the chassis enclosure by the at least one cooling fan by using a continuous equation to calculate a value of the current real time volumetric airflow rate from the determined current real time value of electric power consumption of the at least one cooling fan and the current real time value of rotational speed of the at least one cooling fan, the continuous equation expressing volumetric airflow rate of the at least one cooling fan as a function of any given combination of electric power consumption of the at least one cooling fan and rotational speed of the at least one cooling fan.
