Abstract

PURPOSE:To economize on cooling water and enable using a compact type circulating pump for cooling water so as to save energy by providing a temperature sensor for checking the temperature of heated water, a control valve in a circulating-water channel, and a control device for closing the control valve when the temperature of the heated water reaches a set point. CONSTITUTION:While a spot welder 1 is in action, a first control valve 10 and a second control valve 11 are open so that cooling water is passed from a main feed pipe 8 and through a feed pipe 6 to cool the spot welder 1. The heated water used for the cooling is turned back through a return pipe 7 to a main return pipe 9. When the spot welder 1 is put at rest, the temperature of the heated water gradually declines. The temperature of the cooling water and that of the heated water are checked by a first temperature sensor 12 and a second temperature sensor 13; when a control device 14 observes that the difference in temperature therebetween has fallen to a range as prescribed, that is, the control device 14 has cooled the spot welder 1 sufficiently, the con trol device 14 closes the first and second control valves 10, 11 in an interlocking motion. Then the flow of cooling water from the main feed pipe 8 to the feed pipe 6 stops.
