  • Publication number: 20240060688
    Abstract: A fluid temperature control system according to an embodiment cools a fluid by means of a multiple refrigeration apparatus including a high-temperature-side refrigerator, a medium-temperature-side refrigerator and a low-temperature-side refrigerator. The medium-temperature-side refrigerator in the multiple refrigeration apparatus has a medium-temperature-side first evaporator and a medium-temperature-side second evaporator. A high-temperature-side evaporator of the high-temperature-side refrigerator and a medium-temperature-side condenser of the medium-temperature-side refrigerator constitute a first cascade condenser. The medium-temperature-side second evaporator of the medium-temperature-side refrigerator and a low-temperature-side condenser of the low-temperature-side refrigerator constitute a second cascade condenser. The medium-temperature-side refrigerant and the low-temperature-side refrigerant are the same refrigerant.

  • Publication number: 20230376054
    Abstract: A temperature-controlled fluid circulation apparatus includes a flow path through which a fluid controlled by a temperature control unit is circulated via a fluid supply target; a three-way valve in the flow path downstream of the fluid supply target and upstream of a temperature control position by the temperature control unit, a part between two out of three ports constituting a part of the flow path; and a bypass flow path branching from the flow path downstream of the temperature control position by the temperature control unit and upstream of the fluid supply target, to be connected to one remaining port out of the three ports of the three-way valve. A pressure of the fluid flowing through the flow path at a position that is downstream of the fluid supply target and upstream of the three-way valve is detected by a pressure sensor.
