    摘要: [Problem] To provide a temperature management system that is capable of achieving much more power saving than a conventional system by predicting a change of the ambient temperature and a change of the operational state of a heat generation component to properly control a cooling apparatus. [Solution] The temperature management system includes: a first temperature detection unit 32 configured to detect a temperature of a heat generation component 14a in an electronic device 14; a cooling apparatus 12 configured to circulate air in the electronic device 14 and to cool the heat generation component 14a; a second temperature detection unit 33 configured to detect a temperature of air flowing in the electronic device 14; a parameter setting unit 31 configured to set a target value of the temperature of the heat generation component 14a; and a control unit 30. The control unit 30 calculates a predicted value of a future temperature of the heat generation component 14a based on the outputs of the first temperature detection unit 32 and the second temperature detection unit 33, and the power consumption of the electronic device 14, and determines a manipulated variable of the cooling apparatus 12 based on the predicted value and the target value.

    摘要: [Problem] To achieve low power consumption while preventing electronic devices from excessive cooling in a modular data center and a controlling method of a modular data center. [Solution] A modular data center includes a fan 3a which creates a cooling wind B from outside air A, an electronic device 6 which discharges an exhaust flow E created from the taken-in cooling wind B, a flow passage L which guides part of the exhaust flow E to upstream of the fan 3a, an opening-closing portion 5 which opens and closes the flow passage L, and a control unit 20 which adjusts an air volume of the cooling wind B. The control unit 20 closes the opening-closing portion 5 when a first assumed value P 1 of power consumed by the fan 3a, which is assumed to be consumed in the case of bringing the temperature of the electronic device 6 to a specified temperature T s while closing the opening-closing portion 5, is smaller than a current value P 0 of the power. The control unit 20 opens the opening-closing portion 5 when a second assumed value P 2 of the power consumed by the fan 3a, which is assumed to be consumed in the case of bringing the temperature of each electronic device 6 to the specified temperature T s while opening the opening-closing portion 5, is smaller than the current value P 0 of the power.

    摘要: [Problem] There is provided a temperature management system capable of suppressing deterioration in control performance attributed to reset windup, and efficiently cooling an electronic device such as a computer. [Solution] A temperature management system includes: temperature detection units (32) which individually detect temperatures of a plurality of electronic devices each changing an amount of heat generation depending on its operational state; a cooling device (12) which cools the electronic devices; and a control unit (30) which controls the cooling device (12) depending on outputs from the temperature detection units (32). The control unit (30) includes: an idle state determination unit (44) which determines whether or not the electronic devices are in an idle state; a manipulated variable calculation unit (40) which has an integrator (50) and calculates a manipulated variable by using a difference between a target value and a controlled variable; and an accumulation value correction unit (45) which corrects an accumulation value of the integrator (50) with a predetermined value when the idle state determination unit (44) determines that the electronic devices are in the idle state.
