INTELLIGENTLY DEPLOYED COOLING FINS

Abstract:

A method of customizing the cooling of a first heat-producing system comprises selecting a first set of cooling fins with a deployment level. The method also comprises analyzing environmental data for an environment associated with the first set of cooling fins. The method also comprises quantifying a cooling benefit of the deployment level. The method also comprises quantifying an airflow detriment of the deployment level. The method also comprises determining that the airflow detriment outweighs the cooling benefit. The method also comprises reducing the deployment level based on the determination.
