PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel flow regulating mechanism, and a heat exchange cycle using this mechanism superior in long-term reliability, and saving an equipment cost and an operation cost. SOLUTION: This flow regulating mechanism has an inlet header 2 for allowing flowing-in of a liquid heating medium, and an outlet header 3 for allowing the flowed-in heating medium to flow out from the lower end. The mutual inlet header 2 and outlet header 3 are vertically connected in a multistage shape by a plurality of nozzles 4 respectively extending in the horizontal direction. A liquid level adjusting means 5 is provided in a top part of the inlet header 2 or the outlet header 3 for adjusting a liquid level by supplying and exhausting inside gas. Thus, since a flow rate of the heating medium can be easily adjusted while maintaining superior sealing performance, the superior long-term reliability can be exhibited. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
