Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a cooling system in housing employing an air conditioner and an auxiliary cooler, in which the service life of the air conditioner is prolonged while suppressing energy consumption by reducing the load of the air conditioner. SOLUTION: The auxiliary air outlet 5b (inner air outlet) of an auxiliary cooler 5 is located in the upstream of the conditioning air inlet 4a (inner air inlet) of an air conditioner 4. The auxiliary air outlet 5b is fixed with an auxiliary air outlet louver 13 (chill directing means) so that the auxiliary cold air from the auxiliary air outlet 5b is directed positively toward the conditioning air inlet 4a. Since the auxiliary cold air cooled through the auxiliary cooler 5 is sucked efficiently into the conditioning air inlet 4a, the load of the air conditioner 4 is reduced to lower the operating rate thereof. Consequently, the service life of the air conditioner 4 can be prolonged while suppressing energy consumption of the entire cooling system in housing.

(Fifth Embodiment) As shown in FIG. 9, the air conditioner 4 is installed outside the housing 2 and the air conditioner inlet 4a is installed.
Alternatively, a layout may be adopted in which the air conditioning outlet 4b is connected to the inside of the housing 2 by the inside air suction duct 19 and the inside air outlet duct 20. In such a case, the inside air side heat exchanger 14 of the above-mentioned boiling cooler 16 is arranged inside the inside air suction duct 19, and the inside air sucked into the air-conditioning suction port 4 a is cooled by the boiling cooler 16. May be provided. The layout shown in FIG. 9 is also equivalent to the layout in which the inside air outlet of the auxiliary cooling device 5 is installed upstream of the air conditioning suction port 4a, and the auxiliary cool air cooled by the auxiliary cooling device 5 is sucked into the air conditioner 4. It is.
