<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a convenient apparatus by having an irreducibly minimum floor area, saving waste of electric energy consumed for warming and thermal insulation, and compactly housing the apparatus when not using, in the apparatus for warming or thermally insulating a fluid housed in bags having various kinds of capacities. <P>SOLUTION: In the apparatus including a heater as a warming source, the heater is arranged at the top of the apparatus like a conventional apparatus, and a heater is also arranged at a cover fitted to the apparatus in an openable and closable manner. The liquid housed in a large-capacity bag placed across the cover and the top of the apparatus is warmed or thermally insulated to a prescribed temperature by the heater at the top of the apparatus and the heater at the cover. In the case of warming/heat-insulating the liquid housed in a small-capacity bag, energizing to the heater on the cover side is selectively cut off to realize the convenient apparatus. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
