A method of controlling a cooling device capable of stably cooling a heat source is provided. A cooling device (1) includes a first passage (21, 22, 34, 36, 24 to 27) through which a coolant discharged from a compressor (12) flows into a cooling unit (30) for cooling EV equipment 31; a second passage (21, 22, 34, 36a, 51) through which the coolant is circulated between a heat exchanger (14) and the cooling unit (30); a switching valve (52) switching communication of the first passage (21, 22, 34, 36, 24 to 27) and communication of the second passage (21, 22, 34, 36a, 51); and a liquid storage container (40) storing a liquid coolant condensed in the heat exchanger (14). The control method includes the steps of: increasing an amount of the liquid coolant stored in the liquid storage container (40); and switching the switching valve (52) so as to block the first passage (21, 22, 34, 36, 24 to 27) and allow communication of the second passage (21, 22, 34, 36a, 51). |
