Ionic-cooling system monitoring method for use in e.g. desktop personal computer, involves carrying out predefined measures e.g. deactivation of electronic device, when measured electric resistance exceeds reference value

摘要

The method involves measuring an electric resistance of an electrode (2) of an ionic-cooling system (1) by a measuring arrangement (6). The measured resistance is compared with a preset reference value. A predefined measures e.g. deactivation of an electronic device, is carried out when the measured resistance exceeds the reference value. Capacitance between the electrode and a counter electrode is measured by the arrangement. The measured capacitance is compared with a preset reference value. The predefined measures are carried out when the measured capacitance exceeds the reference value. An independent claim is also included for an electronic device comprising a current measuring device for determining of electric resistance of an electrode.
