Apparatus for regulating the temperature of a liquid.

摘要

The apparatus is used to keep constant the temperature of a liquid in order to maintain a specific reaction condition of the liquid. The apparatus may be, for example, part of a blood analyzing machine. The apparatus has a main body (10) made of ceramic comprising silicon carbide, which has a high thermal efficiency and excellent chemical resistance. A liquid inlet (25) at one end of a passage (12) through the main body (10) opens towards the passage wall (13) in order to improve heat transfer between the body (10) and the liquid. A liquid separating member (50) forces the liquid to pass close to the passage wall (13) and ensures that only liquid which has been raised or lowered to the temperature of the main body (10) passes out of an outlet (23).
