<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid supply apparatus which has conpact structure and supplies a high temperature liquid such as a high corrosive molten metal or molten salt at a constant relatively low rate. <P>SOLUTION: The inner diameter D2 of an outflow nozzle 14, 114 is set to a size which allows molten liquid M housed in a liquid storage container 10, 100, 200 to flow out under the weight of the molten liquid from the lower end of the outflow nozzle; the pipe length L of the outflow nozzle is set to a length corresponding to a nonlinear region in which the flow rate of metal liquid flowing out from the lower end of the outflow nozzle decreases nonlinearly as the pipe length of the outflow nozzle increases; a liquid level setting region S of the liquid storage container is defined by a cylindrical inner wall surface which constitutes a part of the liquid storage container; and the inner diameter D1 of the liquid level setting region is set to be larger than the inner diameter of the outflow nozzle. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
