Abstract:
A cooling system which combines a plurality of refrigeration cycles has a fluctuating cooling capacity. Therefore, a cooling system according to the present invention includes: a first cooling means including a first refrigerant transportation means for circulating a refrigerant that receives heat from an object to be cooled; a second refrigerant transportation means connected to the first refrigerant transportation means, for circulating a diverted refrigerant being a part of the refrigerant; a second cooling means for receiving heat from the refrigerant circulating through the first refrigerant transportation means, and cooling the diverted refrigerant; and a flowrate control means for controlling a flowrate of the diverted refrigerant.
Abstract:
To address the problem of deterioration of cooling performance of a phase-change cooling apparatus cooling a plurality of heat-emitting bodies because of changes in the amount of heat emitted by the plurality of heat-emitting bodies, a refrigerant supply device according to the present invention includes: a first reservoir for storing refrigerant liquid caused to flow by a drive pump; and a refrigerant liquid amount adjustment means for adjusting the flow rate of the refrigerant liquid flowing out of the first reservoir to a heat reception unit wherein the reservoir includes a branch outlet, wherein the branch outlet is provided in a position higher than the refrigerant liquid amount adjustment means, and wherein refrigerant liquid stored in the first reservoir flows out of the branch outlet to a second reservoir disposed in a position lower than the first reservoir.
Abstract:
A rack louver 120 controls an air flow of outside air external to an enclosure 10 taken into the enclosure 10, flowing from an inlet 20 to an outlet 30 in a rack 60. An outlet louver 130 controls an air flow of inside air internal to the enclosure 10 flowing out from the outlet 30 to outside the enclosure 10. A system control unit 150 adjusts motive power of a blowing unit 40, a degree of opening of the rack louver 120, and a degree of opening of the outlet louver 130 in accordance with an outside-air temperature measured by an outside-air temperature sensor 50 and electronic equipment power consumption measured by a power sensor 100. Consequently, electronic equipment in the rack can be cooled with higher energy efficiency while suppressing temperature rise in the electronic equipment.
