A method for environmentally managing a computing device of an information handling system includes extracting, using a corrosive material filter, corrosive materials from an airflow that thermally manages a computing component of the computing device. The method further includes, while extracting the corrosive materials, monitoring a corrosion state of the corrosive material filter; making a determination that the corrosive material filter should be replaced based on the corrosion state; and scheduling replacement of the corrosive material filter based on the determination.

A member may include a flexible material with thickness significantly smaller than that of other dimensions of the flexible material and at least one localized structure patterned within the flexible material, the at least one localized structure having a negative Poisson's ratio, such that when the member is mechanically coupled to a second structure using mechanical stress, the member conforms to features of the second structure.

An information handling system receives data from a sensor and an Internet-of-Things (IoT) device, and trains a machine learning model based on the data. The system also predicts an outcome that includes a future corrosion level of the information handling system using the trained machine learning model, and determines whether to move a virtual machine hosted in the information handling system to another information handling system based on the future corrosion level of the information handling system and another future corrosion level of the other information handling system.

In one embodiment, a method for reducing corrosion in an information handling system includes receiving a system setting indicating one or more operation modes; identifying an ambient temperature of the information handling system, the ambient temperature captured by one or more sensors of the information handling system; identifying a humidity level of the information handling system, the humidity level captured by the one or more sensors; identifying a corrosion risk value based on the ambient temperature and the humidity level; determining that the corrosion risk value is greater than a threshold corrosion risk value; and in response to determining that the corrosion risk value is greater than the threshold corrosion risk value: modifying one or more device threshold settings based on the system setting and the corrosion risk value, wherein modifying the one or more device threshold settings causes the ambient temperature to increase and the humidity level to decrease.

In one embodiment, a method for decreasing a humidity level in an information handling system includes: receiving, by a sound field chamber, an incoming airflow, the incoming airflow having a humidity level corresponding to an amount of water vapor in the incoming airflow; identifying, by a humidity controller, the humidity level of the incoming airflow; determining, by the humidity controller, that the humidity level is greater than a threshold humidity level; and in response to determining that the humidity level is greater than the threshold humidity level: causing, by the humidity controller, a sound source of the information handling system to generate a sound field within the sound field chamber, the sound field comprised of sound waves, the sound waves causing an acoustic agglomeration of the water vapor, the acoustic agglomeration causing the humidity level to decrease.

A system for detecting contamination in a two-phase immersion cooling system based on temperature differences between component surface temperature and fluid temperature, a previous component surface temperature and a present component surface temperature and a component surface temperature and a component surface temperature threshold value. Large differences between the component surface temperature and the fluid temperature or between the component surface temperature and a previous component surface temperature or a component surface temperature exceeding a component surface temperature threshold value may indicate contaminants in the fluid that are inhibiting the ability for the component to effectively transfer heat to the fluid. A temperature monitoring system may monitor the temperatures and communicate with a service system to apply corrective measures before the residue can cause significant damage to an information handling system.
