Abstract
A container is provided. A rack is provided in the container, and a server is mounted to the rack. A fan unit is provided in the container, and a large-sized fan and first and second small-sized fans of which diameters are smaller than that of the large-sized fan are alternately arranged on an opposing surface of the fan unit opposed to the rack. A CPU temperature sensor measures a temperature of a heat generation component incorporated in the server. A fan operation management unit controls rotation of the large-sized fan and rotation of the first small-sized fan and the second small-sized fan according to the CPU temperature sensor.

A container-type data center comprising:
- a container;
- a rack that is included in the container and incorporates electronic equipment;
- a fan device that is included in the container and includes a plurality of first fans and a plurality of second fans of which diameter is smaller than the diameter of the first fans, the first fans being disposed on a line which is a vertical direction line with respect to a ground, two said second fans being disposed in a direction perpendicular to the line of the first fans and between each of the first fans, the first fans and the second fans being alternately arranged on an opposing surface opposed to the rack;
- a temperature measurement unit that measures a temperature of a heat generation component incorporated in the electronic equipment;
- and
- a control unit that controls rotation of the first fans and rotation of the second fans based on the measured temperature.
A method of controlling a container-type data center that comprises a rack incorporating electronic equipment and a fan device in which a plurality of first fans and a plurality of second fans of which diameter is smaller than the diameter of the first fans are alternately arranged on an opposing surface opposed to the rack, the first fans being disposed on a line which is a vertical direction line with respect to a ground, two said second fans being disposed in a direction perpendicular to the line of the first fans and between each of the first fans, the method comprising:
- by a control unit included in the container-type data center, controlling rotation of the first fan and rotation of the second fans based on a measured temperature.
