It is known that electronic components such as FD drives, hard disks, capacitors, etc., which make up electronic equipment, generally change at a temperature of 50 degrees Celsius or higher. A major factor is fatigue deterioration due to repeated degree cycles. Even for electronic equipment that can be used for seven years as required by law, the life of components will be shortened in such a poor environment unless temperature measures are taken. If the life of an electronic device comes, it will be a cause of data destruction. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent sudden system shutdown due to deterioration (causing damage to data stored in electronic devices) by controlling temperature management to a constant level.
