Abstract:
1. A vent tile comprising: a casing; at least one louver positioned within the casing; an actuator to control the at least one louver; a thermal imaging sensor to capture an infrared image of a surface of a remotely located apparatus to detect a temperature of the surface; a controller to determine whether the detected temperature of the surface of the remotely located apparatus is within a predetermined temperature range and to control the actuator to vary the position of the at least one louver in response to the detected temperature of the surface of the remotely located apparatus being outside of the predetermined temperature range to vary the flow of fluid through the casing, wherein the thermal imaging sensor and the controller are housed within the casing; and wherein the orientation of the thermal imaging sensor is variable to enable a field of view of the thermal imaging sensor to be modified.
