Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided that that may be implemented to detect impeded flow of cooling air within a chassis enclosure of an information handling system based on sensed air pressure and/or air pressure changes occurring within the cooling air flow while the system is actively running. The systems and methods may be further implemented to take one or more thermal management actions based on sensed air pressure within the chassis enclosure together with other optional sensed parameters (e.g., such as sensed temperatures and/or sensed user operating mode based on accelerometer and/or gyroscope sensor input).

Claim (Index 12):
A method, comprising:\n controlling at least one cooling fan disposed within a chassis enclosure of an information handling system to draw in air from outside the chassis enclosure through at least one inlet defined in the chassis enclosure into the interior of the chassis enclosure to move the air in a first direction through a first air flow path within the chassis enclosure to cool at least one heat-generating component within the chassis enclosure and to expel the air from the interior of the chassis enclosure through at least one outlet defined in the chassis enclosure; monitoring real time air pressure at at least two different respective locations within the first air flow path while the cooling fan is moving the air in the first direction through the first air flow path within the chassis enclosure; comparing an absolute value of the difference between the real time monitored air pressure at the two different respective locations to a predefined absolute pressure difference threshold value while the cooling fan is moving air in the first direction; and controlling the operation of one or more components of the information handling system to take the one or more thermal management actions based on the monitored air pressure within the first air flow path only if the absolute value of the difference in real time monitored air pressure meets or exceeds the predefined absolute pressure difference threshold value.
