Title: Energy efficiency based control for a cooling system

Patent · Tue Mar 15 00:00:00 EDT 2022

OSTI ID:1892715

Chainer, Timothy J.; Parida, Pritish R.; Schultz, Mark D.

A method for controlling a cooling system based on a heat dissipation of an electronic module and an ambient air temperature includes determining a combination of individual controls on components of the cooling system that achieve a specific amount of cooling based on a cooling power relationship for the plurality of components, the heat dissipation of the electronic module and the ambient air temperature, and applying the individual controls to the plurality of components.
