Abstract: Systems and methods for fan typing and anomaly detection may provide a pulse width modulation (PWM) control signal with a predetermined threshold duty cycle to a fan, receive a tachometer signal from the fan while the PWM control signal has the threshold duty cycle, and compare the frequency of the tachometer signal (expressed in revolutions per minute) to an expected tachometer frequency for fans of a first fan type with the PWM control signal having the threshold duty cycle, according to an RPM vs. PWM curve specified for fans of the first fan type. The systems and methods may determine, based on the comparison, that the fan is of the first fan type and provide an indication that the fan is of the first fan type to a fan controller. Deviations from expected tachometer responses may indicate an anomaly, such as an actual fan failure or a predicted fan failure.

Abstract: Cooling of an electronic device is described herein. A sensor located at a first position determines a temperature at the first position. A processor identifies a fan speed of a fan positioned within the electronic device. The processor identifies a correlation between at least the determined temperature at the first position and the identified fan speed of the fan, and a temperature at a second position. The processor calculates an expected temperature at the second position using the identified correlation based on the determined temperature at the first position and the identified fan speed of the fan. The processor compares the calculated expected temperature at the second position to a predetermined temperature for the second position. The processor controls, based on the comparison, at least one component of the electronic device when the calculated expected temperature at the second position is greater than the predetermined temperature for the second position.
