Abstract (en)

An object of the present invention is to prevent cavitation in a refrigerant pump from occurring due to a decrease in a net positive suction head in a cooling device.A cooling device of the present invention is a cooling device using a refrigeration cycle in which a refrigerant is circulated through a heat receiver (1), a compressor (2), a heat radiator (3), and an expander (4), and includes a tank (5) that separates the refrigerant supplied from the expander (4) into a gas phase refrigerant and a liquid phase refrigerant, a pump (6) that sends the liquid phase refrigerant separated in the tank (5) to the heat receiver (1), and a control unit (7) that controls the amount of increase in pressure of the compressor 2 in the refrigeration cycle, and the control unit (7) increases the pressure of the compressor (2) in a limited range in which the value of the net positive suction head of the pump (6) does not fall below a predetermined value.
