Abstract
A heat exchange unit performs heat exchange using a coolant and is disposed inside a placing table and equipped with heat exchange chambers. The heat exchange chambers are disposed in regions, respectively, set on the placing table. The regions are set along a placing surface of the placing table. A chiller device circulates the coolant with respect to the heat exchange chambers. A temperature detection device includes temperature detectors. The temperature detectors are disposed in the regions, respectively, between the respective heat exchange chambers and the placing surface. A control device controls the chiller device to adjust a pressure of the coolant such that a temperature of the placing table reaches a first temperature range, and controls the chiller device to individually adjust flow rates of the coolant supplied to the heat exchange chambers, respectively, such that all of temperatures measured by the temperature detectors reach the first temperature range.
