Abstract

A dew point of air entering an information handling system is determined based on the temperature and humidity of the air. Also determined is a temperature of facility cooling water entering the information handling system. A condensation mitigation procedure is activated if a difference between the temperature of the facility cooling water and the dew point temperature is less than a first threshold value. The condensation mitigation procedure includes reducing a flow-rate of the facility cooling water to a liquid manifold using a valve. The liquid manifold is in thermally-conductive contact with a heat-generating component included at the information handling system.
