    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.
