Abstract
A cooling system (1) that cools an HV apparatus (31) includes a compressor (12) that circulates a refrigerant, a heat exchanger (14) that performs heat exchange between the refrigerant and outside air, an expansion valve (16) that reduces the pressure of the refrigerant, a heat exchanger (18) that performs heat exchange between the refrigerant and air-conditioning air, a cooling portion (30) that cools the HV apparatus (31) using the refrigerant that flows between the heat exchanger (14) and the expansion valve (16), and a gas accumulator (70) that retains a gas-phase refrigerant gasified by heat exchange with the HV apparatus (31) in the cooling portion (30).
