CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD FOR COOLING SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control device for a cooling system which can suppress an increase in the temperature of a heat generating source when a failure occurs in a refrigeration cycle.

SOLUTION: The cooling system includes: a compressor that circulates a refrigerant; a heat exchanger that exchanges heat between the refrigerant and outside air; a cooling portion that uses the refrigerant to cool the heat generating source; a first line through which the refrigerant which has been discharged from the compressor flows to the cooling portion; a second line through which the refrigerant circulates between the heat exchanger and the cooling portion; and a selector valve that switches the fluid communication of the first line and the fluid communication of the second line. A control device 300 includes a detecting unit 321 configured to detect a failure in the compressor; and a switching unit 322 configured to switch the selector valve to interrupt the fluid communication of the first line and allow the fluid communication of the second line when the failure has been detected by the detecting unit 321.
