Abstract
When cooling power corresponding to an amount of heat generated by an electronic apparatus can be generated by either n or n+1 cooling units, n+1 cooling units are operated such that each of the cooling units keeps a sufficient margin in reserve. In this manner, even if an abnormality occurs in one of the cooling units, the operation can be continued by the n cooling units. Further, since an operation frequency of a compressor in the cooling unit can be decreased to rotate a motor in the compressor at a lower rotational speed, a speed at which a bearing is worn is slowed, whereby the useful life of the bearing can be prolonged.
