Abstract
A tank for use in a system that outputs a liquid at a user defined constant temperature in order to regulate the temperature of a piece of equipment includes a body of material having a plurality of walls which collectively define a chamber for receiving and storing the liquid. The top wall has a manual fill port and one of the other walls includes an outlet port. An auxiliary port is located on the manual fill port and a return fluid port is located on the auto refill port. The body further includes a well which extends down into the chamber from an opening in top wall of the tank and which can be removed. The well is sized to accommodate a deionizer cartridge. When the well is removed, either a heater or an immersion pump can be disposed within the chamber. The tank also features a bag filter, a sight gauge and a flow velocity reducer. Finally, a cover assembly is removably mounted on the manual fill port and includes a funnel shaped cover and a removably sealing plug.
