This application is a continuation application of International Application PCT/JP2014/072315 filed on Aug. 26, 2014 and designated the U.S. The International Application claims the benefit of Japanese Application No. 2013-190362 filed Sep. 13, 2013, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The embodiments discussed herein are related to an air-conditioning apparatus for an air-conditioning target space in which a heat-producing object such as a server apparatus etc. is installed.
Many computers (server apparatuses etc.) have conventionally been installed in for example a data center, a server room of a company, etc. Server apparatuses etc. are heat-producing objects during their operation. In a server room etc., heat produced by many server apparatuses etc. increase the ambient temperature, leading to a possibility that the increased temperature causes the server apparatuses etc. to fail. Accordingly, a cooling target space such as a server room etc. is provided with an air-conditioning system that keeps a constant temperature in the entire room. Air-conditioning systems such as this basically operate throughout the year, including winter.
