[0007] The water supply pipe and the return pipe are connected to the water jacket in the biopharmaceutical equipment, the cooling water inlet pipe and the cooling water outlet pipe are connected to the external water cooling circulation system, the water inlet pipe is connected to the water at room temperature, and the drain pipe is emptied; in the initial stage, the water at room temperature is supplied to the circulating temperature control loop and the water jacket of the equipment through the water inlet pipe, and then the heater heats the water in the circulating temperature control loop to a predetermined temperature, and the temperature is monitored by the temperature sensor. When cooling is required, the heat exchanger cools the circulating water in the circulating temperature control loop at the same time, thereby meeting the temperature control requirements of the biopharmaceutical equipment.

[0008] Preferably, the first valve body is configured as a liquid inlet check valve, the second valve body is configured as a manual valve, and a pressure reducing valve is provided on the water inlet pipe at the inlet end of the first valve body. The liquid inlet check valve can ensure stable water inflow into the water inlet pipe, and the pressure reducing valve can play a role in pressure reduction, so that the water pressure entering the circulating temperature control loop meets the demand.

[0010] Preferably, a safety valve is provided on the guide pipe, and a pressure gauge is provided on the guide pipe. When the pressure in the circulating temperature control loop is greater than a preset value, the safety valve opens to release the pressure, thereby ensuring the overall stability and safety of use.

In the initial state, when the medium (water) is introduced into the circulating temperature control loop through the water inlet pipe, the exhaust valve is opened to facilitate the exhaust of the gas in the circulating temperature control loop and prevent the residual air in the circulating temperature control loop from affecting the temperature and the temperature change rate.

[0012] Therefore, the utility model has the beneficial effects of small size, low cost, and more convenient installation and use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
