TEMPERATURE CONTROL DEVICE FOR SOLVENT FOR FORMING IMAGE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To decrease the temp. change of the solvent for forming image in the storage vessel due to the replenishment of the solvent for forming image and to restore the tamp. of solvent for forming image in a storage vessel to a stable state (to uniformly keep a prescribed temp.) for a short time after replenishing. SOLUTION: In the case that a pump 222 is driven, a heater 202A and a heater 202B are independently controlled. In the case of independently controlling, the heater 202A supplies larger calories than the heater 202B does. Water flowing in a heater block 204 and heated while being guided to a guiding passage 206 is most strongly heated direct after flowing in. That is, the water flowing in a relatively low temp. is rapidly heated to be controlled to the prescribed temp. while being guided in the heater block.
