Orion Machinery (Headquarters: Suga, Nagano Prefecture, Japan) has developed a thermostat control technology that can reduce power consumption by more than 70% compared to the original method. The company has a precision air-conditioner "PAP" series using this technology, and a Chiller "PEC" series (Figs. 1 and 2). Applicable to the following uses: In the precision mold and spherical processing, such as fine processing, adjust the temperature of the device and the workpiece; In the semiconductor protective layer coating process, in order to ensure the film thickness accuracy, adjust the surrounding environment and protect the liquid temperature.
The heat pump balance control technology developed by the company utilizes the principle of heat pump circulation used in domestic water heaters. In general, a heat pump cycle is a one-way cycle in which heat is taken from one side and heat is discharged from the other side, and a new technology is also provided with a heating mechanism and a cooling mechanism in an additional heating heat exchanger, and is constituted by a single compressor. A continuous refrigeration cycle. The electric heater for temperature control is omitted.
In addition, due to improvements in the piping method and control technology, the refrigerant is more evenly distributed. Therefore, it can be controlled based on the change in heat generation. The power consumption is 3.2kW, which saves 73% of energy compared to PID controlled precision air conditioners using electric heaters. In terms of refrigerators, DC brushless motors, which have been used in previous products, are equipped, thereby increasing the efficiency by about 30% compared with the refrigerators equipped with AC servo motors.
For PAP series products, three types of products with an air volume of 5/10/20m3/min are available, and whether or not a HEPA filter is provided is optional. The price is 2.06 million to 304.5 million yen (tax included). All of the above products can control the temperature within the range of 18-30°C with an accuracy of ±0.1°C. In addition, the price of PEC series products is 1.72 million yen (including tax). It can be controlled with an accuracy of ±0.05°C at 10 to 60°C.
