    Abstract: A cooling system including a vaporizer configured to absorb heat due to a liquid-phase refrigerant being vaporized, a condenser configured to discharge heat due to a refrigerant in a gaseous phase state being liquefied, a resistance body provided in a middle of a pipe passage ranging from the vaporizer to the condenser and applying a resistance to the refrigerant, state detection sensors provided in the pipe passage on an upstream and downstream sides of the resistance body and detecting a state of the refrigerant flowing through each side inside the pipe passage, and a flow rate controller configured to detect droplets in the refrigerant flowing through the pipe passage on the basis of a difference between detection values of the state detection sensors which are detected on the upstream and downstream sides of the resistance body, and controls a flow rate of the refrigerant on the basis of detection results.

    Abstract: A valve control device includes a receiving unit, an opening degree control unit, and a fixing control unit. The receiving unit receives information concerning the measured temperature of a fluid to be cooled that is cooled by a vaporizer in a refrigerant circulation path that is equipped with the vaporizer and a condenser. The opening degree control unit variably controls the opening degree of a valve that controls the flow rate of the refrigerant that circulates through the circulation path in accordance with the difference between the measured temperature and a target temperature provided in advance. The fixing control unit fixes the opening degree of the valve with priority over variable control performed by the opening degree control unit in the case where a fixing condition based on the difference between the measured temperature and the target temperature and a valve opening degree variation condition is satisfied.

    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to prevent cavitation in a refrigerant pump from occurring due to a decrease in a net positive suction head in a cooling device.
    A cooling device of the present invention is a cooling device using a refrigeration cycle in which a refrigerant is circulated through a heat receiver (1), a compressor (2), a heat radiator (3), and an expander (4), and includes a tank (5) that separates the refrigerant supplied from the expander (4) into a gas phase refrigerant and a liquid phase refrigerant, a pump (6) that sends the liquid phase refrigerant separated in the tank (5) to the heat receiver (1), and a control unit (7) that controls the amount of increase in pressure of the compressor 2 in the refrigeration cycle, and the control unit (7) increases the pressure of the compressor (2) in a limited range in which the value of the net positive suction head of the pump (6) does not fall below a predetermined value.
