Abstract: When an enclosed space is formed, by at least one of surfaces forming an exterior shape of a shielding member and an intake or exhaust surface among surfaces forming an exterior shape of heat-generating housings, in such a way that a taken-in airflow and an exhausted airflow of the heat-generating housings installed in at least two rows can be separated or substantially separated, a cooling system includes: a duct formed to be able to separate or substantially separate a first airflow and a second airflow being intake/exhaust of a specific heat-generating housing among the heat-generating housings, and heat-generating housings other than the specific heat-generating housing, respectively; and a cooling enhancement unit enhancing cooling for the specific heat-generating housing by acting on the first airflow, thereby avoiding occurrence of a hot spot due to a high-heat-generating housing, in a system building an air-conditioning environment such as aisle capping.

Abstract: An air conditioning control device includes a differential pressure calculation unit that calculates differential pressure between the intake side and the exhaust side of a rack containing at least one server, and a rotational speed control unit that controls the rotational speed of an air conditioning fan on the basis of the differential pressure. The rotational speed control unit increases or decreases the rotational speed of the air conditioning fan depending on the variation of the differential pressure in the event of a change in the rotational speed of the air conditioning fan.
