1. A method of controlling a cooling device cooling a heat source,
the cooling device including:
a compressor configured to circulate a coolant,a heat exchanger configured to perform heat exchange between the coolant and outside air,a cooling unit configured to cool the heat source using the coolant,a liquid storage container configured to store coolant in a liquid state condensed by the heat exchanger,a first passage through which the coolant discharged from the compressor flows into the cooling unit through the heat exchanger and the liquid storage container,a second passage through which the coolant circulates between the heat exchanger and the cooling unit by a force of gravity without applying motive power when the compressor stops, anda switching valve structure switching between communication of the first passage and communication of the second passage, the switching valve structure including: (i) a first open-close valve switching between communication of the first passage and blocking of the first passage, and (ii) a second open-close valve switching between communication of the second passage and blocking of the second passage; and the method comprising the steps of:
blocking the first passage from a state of allowing communication of the first passage and blocking the second passage;after the step of blocking the first passage, increasing an amount of the coolant in the liquid state stored in the liquid storage container; andafter the step of increasing an amount of the coolant, allowing communication of the second passage while maintaining blocking of the first passage. |
