  2. Computer cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cooling

    Computer cooling is required to remove the waste heat produced by computer components, to keep components within permissible operating temperature limits. Components that are susceptible to temporary malfunction or permanent failure if overheated include integrated circuits such as central processing units (CPUs), chipsets , graphics cards ...

  3. Thermal management (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_management...

    Furthermore, steep temperature gradients develop quickly should a cooling outage occur; this has been well documented through computer modeling and direct measurements and observations. Although environmental backup systems may be in place, there are situations when they will not help.

  4. Computer fan control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_fan_control

    Full-tower computer cases may contain multiple cooling fans. At the top of the case is a fan controller. Fan control is the management of the rotational speed of an electric fan. In computers, various types of computer fans are used to provide adequate cooling, and different fan control mechanisms balance their cooling capacities and noise they ...

  5. Server room - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_room

    In most server rooms "close control air conditioning" systems, also known as PAC (precision air conditioning) systems, are installed. These systems control temperature, humidity and particle filtration within tight tolerances 24 hours a day and can be remotely monitored. They can have built-in automatic alerts when conditions within the server ...

  6. Environmental control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_control_system

    Environmental control system (ECS) schematic of Boeing 737-300. On jetliners, air is supplied to the ECS by being bled from a compressor stage of each gas turbine engine, upstream of the combustor. The temperature and pressure of this bleed air varies according to which compressor stage is used, and the power setting of the engine. A manifold ...

  7. Platform Environment Control Interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_Environment...

    Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) is an Intel proprietary single wire serial interface that provides a communication channel between Intel processors and chipset components to external system management logic and thermal monitoring devices. Also, PECI provides an interface for external devices to read processor temperature, perform ...

  8. Warren S. Johnson - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_S._Johnson

    Johnson’s system for temperature regulation was adopted worldwide for office buildings, schools, hospitals, and hotels – essentially any large building with multiple rooms that required temperature regulation. To manufacture and market his system, Johnson established the Johnson Electric Service Company which eventually became Johnson Controls.

  9. Thermostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostat

    The advantage of the low voltage control system is the ability to operate multiple electromechanical switching devices such as relays, contactors, and sequencers using inherently safe voltage and current levels. [15] Built into the thermostat is a provision for enhanced temperature control using anticipation.
