Abstract
A cooling control device acquires temperatures detected by a plurality of temperature sensors installed at different positions in a target space. The cooling control device identifies a target position where a temperature sensor that has detected a temperature higher than a reference temperature is installed, among the plurality of temperature sensors, and controls an air volume of a blower so that an upper limit of reach of air cooled by a heat exchanger is within a target range defined about the target position as a reference.

A cooling control device comprising:
- processing circuitry
- to acquire temperatures detected by a plurality of temperature sensors installed at different positions in a target space, and
- to refer to the acquired temperatures so as to identify a target position, and to control an air volume of a blower so that an upper limit of reach of air cooled by a heat exchanger is within a target range defined about, as a reference, the target position where a temperature sensor that has detected a temperature higher than a reference temperature is installed, among the plurality of temperature sensors.
A cooling system comprising:
- a heat exchanger to cool air in a target space;
- a blower to send air cooled by the heat exchanger;
- a plurality of temperature sensors installed at different positions in the target space;
- and
- a cooling control device to control an air volume of the blower so that an upper limit of reach of air cooled by the heat exchanger is within a target range defined about, as a reference, a target position where a temperature sensor that has detected a temperature higher than a reference temperature is installed, among the plurality of temperature sensors.
A cooling control method comprising:
- by a plurality of temperature sensors installed at different positions in a target space, detecting temperatures of positions where the plurality of temperature sensors are installed;
- and
- by a cooling control device, controlling an air volume of a blower so that an upper limit of reach of air cooled by a heat exchanger is within a target range defined about, as a reference, a target position where a temperature sensor that has detected a temperature higher than a reference temperature is installed, among the plurality of temperature sensors.
