Abstract
In a cooling system to cool down a hot object contained in a closed container, a heat exchanger is used in addition to an air-conditioner to share thermal load to dissipate heat generated by the hot object. Since the heat exchanger which requires almost no operating power shares heat load with the air-conditioner which consumes a high operating power, a total power consumption of the cooling system is considerably reduced. An evaporator and a condenser of the heat exchanger are separately installed in the cooling system, and both are connected by pipes through which refrigerant is circulated. The evaporator is placed to an optimum position to effectively absorb heat generated by the hot object. The condenser is installed outside the container to exhaust heat most effectively to outside air. The evaporator and the condenser may be combined before installation, if a whole structure of the cooling system permits. The heat generated by the hot object is led directly to the evaporator to enhance heat exchange efficiency.
