Abstract
Abstract A plurality of pressure-sensing bellows are communicated with a plurality of heating vessels, respectively, through thin tubes, and a plurality of counter bellows are coupled to said respective pressure-sensing bellows in an opposed relationship thereto. Each of said pressure-sensing bellows is provided with a lever for actuating a micro-switch. Said plurality of counter bellows are communicated with a common constant-pressure chamber, so that the pressures in said plurality of counter bellows may be regulated as a whole by varying the pressure in said common constantpressure chamber. In accordance with the variation of the pressures in said plurality of counter bellows, the temperatures of the heating vessels are regulated as a whole.
