Abstract:
1. A method of cooling electrical equipment including a plurality of components, wherein said electrical equipment includes a medium passage, said medium passage including a first end connected to an inlet and a second end connected to said electrical equipment and said medium passage including a plurality of cooling medium distribution routes between said inlet and said electrical equipment, and a supply source supplying a cooling medium through said medium passage to said electrical equipment, said method comprising: detecting a temperature difference between at least two components on upstream and downstream sides, respectively, of said cooling medium among said plurality of components; selecting at least one of said plurality of cooling medium distribution routes when an absolute value of said temperature difference between said at least two components detected from said detecting exceeds a predetermined value, to prevent an increase in temperature variation between said at least two components; and supplying said cooling medium from said inlet to said electrical equipment via said at least one of said plurality of cooling medium distribution routes selected from said selecting.
