  • Publication number: 20240138105
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a computing device, the information handling system includes a computing component of the computing device that is housed in a chassis; and a heating component that increases a temperature of a portion of an airflow when the heating component is in an active state, the portion of the airflow thermally manages the computing component by reducing a temperature of the computing component. The airflow is received by the chassis via an air receiving exchange, and exhausted by the chassis via an air expelling exchange.
