US Patent 10888028 Chassis intelligent airflow control and cooling regulation mechanism

An apparatus for dynamic thermal control is provided. The apparatus includes a fan module with multiple fan units, a deflection member configured to direct airflow received from the fan module, and a system component. The apparatus also includes a chassis management controller (CMC). The CMC is coupled to the fan module, deflection member, and the system component. The CMC is configured to dynamically control the deflection member to direct airflow from the fan module to the system component by accounting for at least one environmental element within the apparatus.
