Abstract
A cooling device has a cooler, a circulator, a semiconductor temperature detection unit, a refrigerant temperature detection unit, an output acquisition unit, and a flow velocity control unit. An output area of a power converter is divided into a first output area equal to and smaller than a threshold and a second output area exceeding the threshold. The flow velocity control unit controls, in the first output area, the flow velocity of the refrigerant to be maintained within a range where the refrigerant in the heat receiving portion is kept in a non-boiling state; and controls, in the second output area, the flow velocity to be maintained within a range where the refrigerant is in the non-boiling state or a nucleate boiling state. The flow velocity in the second output area is equal to or greater than an upper limit value of the flow velocity in the first output area.
