Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are directed to methods and systems for backflow prevention for computing devices. In an embodiment, a system of sensors, processors, and airflow stimulation devices, such as fans, are used to prevent backflow of high temperature gasses through a server housing. The backflow of high temperature gasses may be a result of a pressure differential between a region in which cooling gases are disposed and a region in which high temperature exhaust gasses are disposed.
