Abstract
A fan control system includes a first fan, a second fan adjacent to the first fan, a first motor that rotates the first fan, a second motor that rotates the second fan, and a control unit. The control unit controls the rotational speeds of the first motor and the second motor. The control unit decreases the rotational speed of the first motor and increases/decreases the rotational speed of the second motor when the rotational speed of the first motor must be decreased. The control unit can decrease the rotational speed of the second motor when the rotational speed of the first motor whose rotational speed has been decreased is lower than a prescribed rotational speed, and increase the rotational speed of the second motor when the rotational speed of the first motor whose rotational speed has been decreased is higher than the prescribed rotational speed.
