1. A cooling device comprising:
a duct that guides air that has absorbed heat generated inside a cooling target and has been discharged, to the cooling target;
a cooler that is provided in the duct and cools the air flowing inside the duct; and
an adjusting mechanism that is located on a downstream side of the cooler, adjusts an amount of the air discharged from the duct into a room where the cooling target is installed,
wherein the adjusting mechanism prevents the air from flowing to outside of the duct through an opening by closing the opening, the opening being provided in an upper surface of the duct, and
the adjusting mechanism guides at least a part of the air to the outside of the duct through the opening by opening the opening and preventing flow of the air inside the duct.
