Abstract

Provided are a phase change cooling device and a control method, whereby stable high-efficiency cooling performance can be obtained according to heat exchange performance. This phase change cooling device includes: a heat receiver which accommodates a coolant and receives heat from a heat generation body which is to be cooled; a heat radiator which radiates the heat of a coolant vapor of the coolant gasified by receiving heat by means of the heat receiver, and recirculates a liquefied liquid coolant to the heat receiver; a valve for controlling the flow rate of the liquid coolant; and a control means for controlling the opening degree of the valve, wherein the control means controls the opening degree of the valve on the basis of an exhaust temperature, which is the temperature after being discharged from the heat receiver, and the temperature in the vicinity of the heat radiator.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a phase change cooling device and a control method, particularly, to a phase change cooling device and a control method for transporting heat and radiating heat by virtue of a cycle of gasifying and condensing a coolant.BACKGROUND ART[0002]As a cloud service develops in recent years, an amount of required information-processing is continuously increasing. In order to process huge data, a data center that enhances energy efficiency by concentrating servers and pieces of network equipment at one place has been operating in various places. However, as an amount of information-processing increases in a data center, an amount of power consumption also increases in the data center.[0003]In the data center, pieces of electronic equipment such as a central processing unit (CPU) and a large scale integration (LSI) are accommodated. These pieces of electronic equipment generate heat, and thus an air conditioner is used for maintaining an a...
