Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cooling and heating apparatus, and particularly relates to a cooling and heating apparatus that is used to adjust, for example, various manufacturing apparatuses such as a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus and various measuring apparatuses to predetermined temperatures.
  • a cooling and heating apparatus which includes a circulation path where a heating medium circulates, and cools or heats a control target whose temperature needs to be adjusted by use of the heating medium that circulates along the circulation path.
  • This type of cooling and heating apparatus includes: for example, a chiller of the vapor-compression refrigeration cycle that cools a circulating heating medium; and, for example, a heating device that heats the cooled heating medium.
  • the circulation fluid that is supplied to the control target is cooled, properly using a method that cools the circulation fluid by use of the refrigeration cycle and a method that cools the circulation fluid by use of the coolant of the cooling tower.
  • the circulation fluid cooled by the refrigeration cycle or the cooling tower is heated to a predetermined temperature by the heating device such as a heater, and is supplied to the control target.
  • Patent Literature 2 discloses a cooling apparatus including: a first circulation system that circulates a first refrigerant in a condenser back to the condenser through a pump, a heating device, a throttle valve, and a vaporizer; and a second circulation system that includes a heat exchanger placed in the condenser, and circulates a second refrigerant that cools the first refrigerant.
  • the above cooling and heating apparatus of the known technology needs some improvements in shortening the time required to adjust temperature and encouraging an increase in efficiency in a production process of, for example, a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus and in reducing the amount of energy consumed to adjust temperature and encouraging energy savings.
  • the cooling and heating apparatus includes a refrigeration cycle circuit where a compression means, a gas cooler, a throttle means, and an evaporator are sequentially connected and a refrigerant circulates; and a circulation fluid circuit provided with a circulating pump and a heating device, in which circulation fluid that adjusts a temperature of a control target circulates, the circulation fluid circuit includes: a freely openable and closable low-temperature path where the circulation fluid flows through the evaporator in such a manner that heat is exchangeable between the circulation fluid and the refrigerant, and a freely openable and closable high-temperature path where the circulation fluid flows through the gas cooler in such a manner that heat is exchangeable between the circulation fluid and the refrigerant.
  • Such a configuration allows the cooling and heating apparatus to adjust temperature with high efficiency by supplying the circulation fluid cooled or heated by the refrigerant of the refrigeration cycle circuit to the control target such as a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus.
  • the cooling and heating apparatus can heat the circulation fluid by use of heat dissipated from the refrigerant flowing through the gas cooler of the refrigeration cycle circuit.
  • the circulation fluid heated by the gas cooler of the refrigeration cycle circuit is then heated to a predetermined temperature by the heating device of the circulation fluid circuit, and is supplied at the suitable temperature to the control target in such a manner that the control target reaches an exact set temperature.
  • the circulation fluid can be heated by use of the heat dissipation of the gas cooler of the refrigeration cycle circuit. Therefore, the temperature can be adjusted with high efficiency while the amount of energy to be consumed by the heating device of the circulation fluid circuit is kept low.
  • the cooling and heating apparatus of the present invention can adjust temperature with low loss of exhaust heat and with high efficiency by using both cold heat and hot heat, which are generated in the refrigeration cycle circuit.
  • the high-temperature path is provided with a high-temperature tank where the circulation fluid heated by the refrigerant in the gas cooler is stored. Consequently, for example, if a temperature setting for the control target is changed due to a change in, for example, a processing process to significantly increase the temperature of the circulation fluid, the temperature of the circulation fluid that circulates in the circulation fluid circuit can be quickly increased to a predetermined temperature in a short time by supplying, to the circulation fluid circuit, the high-temperature circulation fluid stored in the high-temperature tank. Hence, it is possible to significantly shorten the time required to change the temperature setting and reduce the loss of time accompanied by the change in temperature before the start of, for example, a processing process or a measurement process.
  • the refrigerant may be carbon dioxide, and may heat the circulation fluid under supercritical pressure in the gas cooler. Consequently, it is possible to efficiently heat the circulation fluid to a high temperature.
  • the cooling and heating apparatus of the present invention can heat the circulation fluid, with the gas cooler of the refrigeration cycle circuit, to a high-temperature region that is not achievable by a condenser of, for example, a chiller of a known technology using an HFC (hydrofluorocarbon)-based refrigerant, an HFO (hydrofluoroolefin)-based refrigerant, or a mixed refrigerant of them.
  • HFC hydrofluorocarbon
  • HFO hydrofluoroolefin

  • the gas cooler may be provided in the high-temperature tank in such a manner that the refrigerant flows from up to down, and the refrigerant flowing through the gas cooler may heat the circulation fluid in the high-temperature tank.
  • the refrigerant flowing through the gas cooler can heat the circulation fluid in the high-temperature tank also in a state where the circulation fluid in the high-temperature path is not used as the circulation fluid to be supplied to the control target and is not flowing.
  • the circulation fluid stored in the high-temperature tank can be heated to a high temperature by the gas cooler without providing, for example, a circulating pump that feeds the circulation fluid in the high-temperature path for heating with the gas cooler.

  • the low-temperature tank is provided; therefore, if the temperature setting for the control target is changed due to a change in, for example, a processing process to significantly reduce the temperature of the circulation fluid, the temperature of the circulation fluid that circulates in the circulation fluid circuit can be quickly reduced to a predetermined temperature in a short time by supplying the low-temperature circulation fluid stored in the cold tank to the circulation fluid circuit.
  • the low-temperature path is provided with the low-temperature pump that feeds the circulation fluid, and the low-temperature circulation path that returns the circulation fluid from the outlet side to the inlet side of the low-temperature path.
  • the circulation fluid in the low-temperature path is not used as the circulation fluid to be supplied to the control target, the circulation fluid can be cooled by the refrigerant flowing through the evaporator by circulating the circulation fluid in the low-temperature path.
  • the refrigerant can be stored in the low-temperature tank.
  • the circulation fluid in the high-temperature path can be heated by the refrigerant of the gas cooler by operating the refrigeration cycle circuit.
  • the circulation fluid circuit may be provided with a three-way valve that switches between whether or not the circulation fluid returning from the control target is fed to the high-temperature path, and a mixing valve that is provided downstream of the three-way valve and mixes the circulation fluid that has passed through the low-temperature path with the circulation fluid to be supplied to the control target.
  • the mixing valve is adjusted to mix the circulation fluid cooled by the evaporator with the circulation fluid that has returned from the control target and make the temperature suitable.
  • temperature adjustment operation in which the circulation fluid heated by the gas cooler and the circulation fluid cooled by the evaporator are not supplied to the control target, and only the circulation fluid that has returned from the control target is heated by the heating device, fed to the control target, and circulated. In this manner, it is possible to circulate the circulation fluid along a suitable path in accordance with the state of the control target and adjust the temperature of the control target efficiently with a little amount of energy consumed.
