Abstract: A projector and a method of controlling the projector that may give information on suitability of a light source. A projector includes light sources, light modulators (liquid crystal panels) that modulate lights output from the light sources, a projection optical device that projects the lights modulated by the light modulators, a determination unit that determines whether or not a light source unadapted to a mounting position of the projector is attached, and an informing unit (display control unit) that, if a determination that the light source unadapted to the mounting position of the projector is attached is made by the determination unit, gives information in response to a determination result.

Abstract: A projector includes a first cooling target, a cooling device, and an exterior housing. The cooling device includes a first circulation device in which working fluid circulates, a second circulation device in which a liquid refrigerant circulates, and a heat exchanger in which both of the working fluid and the liquid refrigerant flow. The first circulation device includes a first compressor, a condenser, a first expander, and a first evaporator. The second circulation device includes a first heat receiver heat-transferably connected to the first cooling target. The heat exchanger includes a first channel in which the working fluid having flowed in the first expander flows, and a second channel in which the liquid refrigerant having flowed in the first heat receiver flows. The heat exchanger cools the liquid refrigerant flowing in the second channel with the working fluid flowing in the first channel.

Abstract: A cooling device that can maintain or improve a cooling ability without being affected by fluctuation in an ambient temperature. Gas is supplied to a cooling target to cool the cooling target. A cooling device includes a cooling gas including gas having thermal conductivity higher than the thermal conductivity of the air, a partition wall that closes and stores the cooling target and the cooling gas and is capable of circulating the cooling gas, a cooling section that cools and circulates the cooling gas, a pressure determining section that determines the pressure of the cooling gas, and a cooling control section that controls the cooling section. The cooling control section causes the cooling section to change the pressure of the cooling gas and/or change the circulation speed of the cooling gas on the basis of a result of the determination of the pressure determining section.
