Abstract:
In the present invention, a waste solution and a exhaust gas are guided together from a drain cup DC into a storing means through common discharge means. Naturally, the gas-liquid separation is performed within the storing means in place of performing the gas-liquid separation within the drain cup DC. Therefore, the waste solution is not solidified within the drain cup so as to plug the common discharge means. Also, a predetermined waste solution is kept stored in the storing means included in the coating apparatus of the present invention, making it possible to permit the surface of the stored waste solution to absorb the mist, and the waste solution is prevented from being solidified within the storing means. Further, since a minimum amount of the exhaust gas is kept discharged even during non-operation of the coating apparatus by using an exhaust gas damper whose degree of opening can be controlled, the waste solution stored in the storing means is prevented from being solidified. Also, the waste solution evaporated within the storing means can be released to the outside.
Abstract:
처리제를 처리장치로 공급하는 장치는 액체 처리제를 저장하는 탱크와 탱크속에 구비되어 나선형 관에 의해 형성되는 열교환기를 가지고 있다. 질소가스(N 2 가스)가 탱크 속으로 도입되어 액체 처리제를 증발시킨다. 물은 열교환기의 하부에 연결된 유체 도입관으로부터 열교환기의 나선형관을 통해 열교환기의 상부에 연결된 유체 배출관으로 공급된다. 열교환기에서 물과 액체 처리제 사이의 열교환은 매우 효율적으로 수행된다. 전기를 사용하지 않아 안정성이 매우 높다. 버블링 공정에 의해 기체상태로 변화되는 액체 처리제의 온도는 효율적으로 제어되며, 탱크속에서 기화된 처리제의 농도는 안정화된다.
