FAN MANAGEMENT METHOD AND SYSTEM, AND SERVER

The present disclosure provides a fan management method and system, and a server. The method includes: monitoring working performance of each dual-motor fan in real-time; determining whether the working performance of the dual-motor fan is normal, if the working performance is normal, instructing the dual-motor fan to continue to operate with normal performance; if the working performance is not normal, instructing a single-motor fan that has no abnormality in the dual-motor fan to operate with a preset compensation strategy; the preset compensation strategy is a strategy for performing performance compensation for a single-motor fan that has no abnormality to normal performance of a dual-motor fan. The present disclosure can reduce energy consumption of the server, avoid ineffective waste, and save operating costs. The fan can be prevented from running at a high speed for a long time, and the service life of the fan can be improved.

An electronic device includes a main body, a case, and an airbag. The main body includes an accommodation space and an opening, and a fan is disposed in the accommodation space. The case is disposed on the opening and one side of the case is connected to one side wall of the main body surrounding the opening. The airbag is disposed in the accommodation space below the orthographic projection of the case and communicates with the fan. When the airbag is not yet inflated, the case horizontally covers the opening. When the fan rotates at a speed greater than a critical speed, the airbag is inflated by the fan to lift another side of the case, so that the case is tilted on the main body to expose the opening.

Check valve for preventing air backflow in a modular cooling system
10888018 · 2021-01-05 · ·

A cooling system for electrical and electronic devices for hot swapping of a fan module without affecting cooling efficiency due to air backflow, preventing stalling of newly installed exhaust device due to reverse rotation. A check valve assembly having an inlet side frame member, an outlet side frame member, and one or more non-symmetrical valve flaps, each flap having a movable part and a fixed part. The outlet side frame allows the flaps to open under suction pressure on side of the outlet side frame, the inlet side frame disallows the flaps to open under suction pressure on side of the inlet side frame, allowing air to flow in one direction from inlet side frame side to outlet side frame side only. The check valve assembly can be independent of the exhaust device. The check valve assembly can prevent backflow of air during hot swapping of the exhaust device.

Linear air flow distribution for a cooling system

An air flow distribution system for a plurality of fans includes an air collimator that is operable to pass a flow of air in a linear vertical direction, thereby creating an improved optimal flow direction for cooling device components. The air collimator includes air transfer diverters to redirect swirling air from a fan into a linear flow, thereby increasing the cross-sectional air flow distribution throughout the device being cooled. Self-activating, separately controlled plurality of louver systems automatically close upon failure of an associated one of a plurality of cooling fans to prevent air from recirculating back through the failed fan. Therefore, air continues to move in a linear direction across the device components such that the device components remain at a specified temperature.
