Abstract
A temperature control system for controlling the temperature of chemicals disposed in bottles. The temperature control system includes a temperature control device that controls the temperature of a liquid. The liquid circulates through a jacket. A bottle may easily be placed into the jacket such that the bottle sits on a weighing device. The circulation of fluid through the jacket and the temperature control device allows for the temperature of the bottle to be controlled. A bottle retainer that is attached to the jacket by a floating coupling mechanism attaches to the bottle. An emergency shut-off device is then coupled to the bottle. The floating coupling mechanism prevents the rotation of the bottle during operation of the emergency shut-off device. The floating coupling mechanism allows the bottle to float within the jacket such that the weight of the bottle may be determined. This allows for the amount of chemicals in the bottle to be determined accurately.
