  • Patent number: 11754353
    Abstract: A processing water supply system for supplying processing water to a processing apparatus includes a first heat exchanger that cools the processing water by heat of vaporization of a cooling medium, a second heat exchanger that cools the cooling medium compressed to reach a high temperature, a cooling water receiving route that receives the cooling water from cooling water supply equipment to the second heat exchanger, a cooling water drain route that drains the cooling water heat-exchanged by the second heat exchanger to reach a high temperature to drain equipment, and a bypass route that is disposed between the cooling water receiving route and the cooling water drain route and adjusts the cooling water reaching the high temperature at the second heat exchanger to a temperature permissible by the drain equipment.

  • Patent number: 11390536
    Abstract: A waste liquid treating apparatus for purifying a waste liquid discharged from a processing apparatus includes a waste liquid accommodating tank for the waste liquid discharged by the processing apparatus, a spray water seal type pump that sucks a spray together with air in a processing region where a processing unit is disposed, a sealing water reservoir tank that recovers the spray and reserves the spray as a waste liquid, and a waste liquid filter unit that filters that waste liquid and the waste liquid in the waste liquid accommodating tank, to purify the waste liquid into fresh water. A fresh water reservoir tank reserves the fresh water obtained by filtering the waste liquid, and a pure water producing unit purifies the fresh water reserved in the fresh water reservoir tank into pure water. A temperature control unit controls the temperature of the pure water.

  • Patent number: 11319214
    Abstract: A waste liquid treating apparatus includes a waste liquid accommodating unit for waste water discharged from a processing apparatus. A waste liquid filter unit filters the waste liquid in that tank to purify the waste liquid into fresh water. A fresh water reservoir tank reserves the fresh water obtained by filtering the waste liquid by the waste liquid filter unit. A pure water producing unit purifies the fresh water reserved in the fresh water reservoir tank into pure water, and a temperature control unit controls the pure water obtained by purifying the fresh water by the pure water purifying unit to a predetermined temperature. A bubble water seal type pump sucks at least bubbles generated in the waste liquid filter unit, and a sealing water reservoir tank reserves the bubbles sucked by the bubble water seal type pump as a waste liquid.

  • Patent number: 10183370
    Abstract: A constant temperature water supply system that adjusts water from a water supply source to a constant temperature by a constant temperature water supply apparatus and supplies the water to a processing apparatus. The constant temperature water supply apparatus is provided with water temperature adjusting units that adjust processing water and cooling water to predetermined temperatures and temperature adjustment control units that reset predetermined temperatures of the water temperature adjusting units. The processing apparatus is provided with water temperature detectors that detect the water temperatures of the processing water and the cooling water and water temperature managing units that each calculate the temperature difference between the water temperature detected by the water temperature detector and a desired temperature set in advance.
