ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND CLOGGING STATE DETERMINATION METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic apparatus capable of determining a clogging state of a filter even in the case where an apparatus configuration or an installation environment is varied, and a clogging state determination method.SOLUTION: An electronic apparatus including a cooling fan comprises: a dust-proof filter disposed in an intake port of the cooling fan; temperature sensors disposed in a front part and a rear part of the dust-proof filter; a temperature data holding section for holding temperature values measured by the temperature sensors, respectively; a correlation data holding section for holding correlation data between temporal changes of the temperature values measured by the temperature sensors, respectively, while operating the electronic apparatus and the cooling fan beforehand in association with a clogging state of the filter; and a comparison section which computes a correlation between the temporal changes of the temperature values held in the temperature data holding section and compares the correlation with the correlation data held in the correlation data holding section.
