Patent ID: 11023021

Abstract:
Provided is a cooling system capable of effectively avoiding generation of bubbles in the flow passage including the piping unit that climbs over the barrier upon start of the pump that has been in the stopped state. The cooling system 100 includes a cooling tank 11 filled with a coolant C, flow passages 15, 16 through which the coolant discharged from an outlet of the cooling tank 11 returns to an inlet of the cooling tank 11, an inverted U-like piping unit 16a disposed in the middle of the flow passage 16, a main pump 31, an auxiliary pump 33 disposed opposite the main pump 31 while interposing the inverted U-like piping unit 16a with the main pump 31, and a controller 35 which controls driving operations of the main pump 31 and the auxiliary pump 33. The controller 35 drives the auxiliary pump 33 for a predetermined time period before starting the main pump 31. The predetermined time period for driving the auxiliary pump 33 may be arbitrarily set so long as the preliminary flow of the coolant C is generated. As the auxiliary pump 33 may be driven for only a short time period, silence in the room is hardly deteriorated even in the case that the pump is disposed inside the building.
