A production process for heat-expanded microspheres comprising the step of providing a gaseous fluid containing heat-expandable microspheres, which comprise shell of thermoplastic resin and a blowing agent encapsulated therein having a boiling point not higher than the softening point of the thermoplastic resin and have an average particle size from 1 to 100 μm, feeding the gaseous fluid through a gas-introducing tube having a dispersion nozzle on its outlet and being fixed inside a hot gas flow, and emitting a jet of the gaseous fluid through the dispersion nozzle; a step wherein the gaseous fluid is collided on a collision plate fixed under the dispersion nozzle so as to disperse the heat-expandable microspheres in the hot gas flow; and a step wherein the dispersed heat-expandable microspheres are heated in the hot gas flow at a temperature not lower than their expansion initiating temperature and thus expanded. The production process results in minimum difference in the variation coefficient of particle size distribution between the microspheres before and after heat-expansion, slight ratio of raw microspheres and slightly expanded microspheres contained in resultant heat-expanded microspheres, and suppressed formation of aggregated microspheres.

A system for providing total fluid exchange for an automatic transmission which interconnects with the transmission's opened cooling circuit to deliver new, fresh fluid to the transmission while simultaneously extracting the spent, used fluid. The system provides a means of quick and random interconnection to an opened cooling circuit and means of identifying and aligning direction of flow in such cooling circuit. The system can accurately calibrate and regulate the rate that fresh fluid will flow into the transmission to be the same as that at which the used fluid is extracted, both of which are regulated to flow at the same rate that fluid normally circulates at in the cooling circuit when it is closed under similar operating conditions. Quick coupling devices are used for ease and speed of interconnection of the system into operative position, for quick removal of the system and for reconnection of the opened cooling circuit for ease of repeat, periodic servicing by the system as a regular maintenance procedure.
