Rack cabinet and method for cooling electronic equipment mounted in rack cabinet

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rack cabinet capable of sufficiently cooling an electronic device mounted on the rack cabinet, with reduced air volume of air conditioner equipment for saved energy. PSOLUTION: The rack cabinet 1 includes a case 4 in which an internal space S separated from the outside is formed, and a louver 5 which is provided to the case 4 and includes a plurality of blades 5a, with angle of the blade 5a being adjustable, to cause cooling air to flow into the internal space S from outside. A plurality of electronic devices 10-13 are mounted in steps in the internal space S. It also includes a temperature sensor for sensing temperature of the cooling air at the mounting positions of the plurality of electronic devices 10-13, and a control part 30 which, based on the sensing signal supplied from the temperature sensor, adjusts the angle of the blade 5a within the range corresponding to the mounting position, so that the flowing-in amount of the air at mounting positions is changed.
