  • Publication number: 20100186941
    Abstract: A constant temperature liquid circulating device includes a heat absorption tube through which flows heat absorbing liquid, a tank containing a constant temperature circulating liquid and a heat exchange portion of the heat absorption tube, a conduit which circulates the constant temperature circulating liquid in the tank to an external device and a flow regulator. The flow regulator includes an electric proportional valve for controlling a flow amount of heat absorbing liquid in the heat absorption tube, an electromagnetic valve for delivering the heat absorbing liquid to the heat exchange portion, and a controller which regulates the flow of the heat absorbing liquid through the electric proportional valve not to be less than a low flow limit value, and which regulates the flow of heat absorbing liquid through the electromagnetic valve so as to adjust the circulating liquid to a predetermined temperature.

  • Patent number: 7637315
    Abstract: In a constant temperature liquid circulating device that connects a piping of circulating liquid in an external device between a discharge port and a return port of a conduit for delivering the circulating liquid at a constant temperature by a pump, a flow amount sensor and temperature sensors for detecting discharge temperature (T1) of the circulating liquid from the conduit and the return temperature (T2) of the circulating liquid are provided in the conduit, so that the flow amount and the temperature of the circulating liquid is controlled by a controller according to the heat load of the external device obtained on the basis of the outputs from the temperature sensors.

  • Publication number: 20070074865
    Abstract: In a constant temperature liquid circulating device having a conduit for delivering a temperature controlled constant temperature circulating liquid with a pump, which is used with an external device connected thereto, the pressure of the circulating liquid in a piping in the external device is controlled so as not to exceed a preset maximum pressure value to protect the piping in the external device. In a constant temperature liquid circulating device having a conduit for delivering constant temperature circulating liquid controlled in temperature and delivering the circulating liquid at a constant temperature to an external device, a control function is provided to the controller for controlling the operation of the constant temperature liquid circulating device so that the detected pressure does not exceed the preset maximum pressure on the basis of outputs from an arbitrary number of pressure sensors for detecting the pressure at a predicted pressure rising point of the piping in the external device.

  • Patent number: 7074014
    Abstract: In a dipping type pump where a rotary shaft extending from a motor into a pump casing disposed in liquid is mounted with impellers, and liquid is sucked from a sucking port at a lower portion of the casing and discharged from a discharge port by rotational driving of the motor, where a check valve for air purge which allows outflow of gas from the interior of the casing but prevents outflow of liquid therefrom is provided at an upper portion of the casing.
