A chemical solution supply part for supplementing the chemical solution to the chemical solution storage tank and a purge gas supply part for supplying N.sub.2 gas as a purge gas to the chemical solution storage tank are in communication with the chemical solution storage tank, and a first manometer serving as a pressure measurement part is arranged on the chemical solution storage tank. In addition, a drain piping is connected to a head portion of the plunger pump, and an automatically controlled air-bleed valve, which is an air-bleed mechanism, is arranged on the drain piping. On the other hand, a second manometer is arranged in the middle of the chemical solution supply pipe, and a front end of the solution supply pipe on the downstream side serves as an injection point for the chemical solution S.

An endoscope reprocessor includes: a housing unit that houses a medicinal solution bottle such that a sealing portion is located on a top surface; a first guide that guides the housing unit such that the housing unit is capable of advancing and retreating between a first point and a second point; a movable unit that moves in cooperation with advancing of the housing unit; an unsealing member provided in the movable unit and arranged at a position higher than the sealing portion of the medicinal solution bottle housed in the housing unit at the first point, the unsealing member having a shape protruding toward the top surface at a predetermined length to pierce the sealing portion when the medicinal solution bottle reaches the second point by descending as the movable unit advances; and a second guide that guides an advancing direction of the movable unit.

A quantitative essential oil dripping device which includes: N sealed essential oil containers for containing essential oil, wherein N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1; N gas inlet tubes and N oil outlet tubes, which are all inserted into the N essential oil containers respectively, wherein in each of the essential oil containers, a gas outlet of the gas inlet tube is located above an inlet of the oil outlet tube; a gas pump arranged at gas inlets of the N gas inlet tubes; a throttle valve communicating the gas pump with the essential oil container; and a drip number detection module configured to detect the drip number of the essential oil dripped from an oil outlet of the oil outlet tube. During use, the gas pump is started, pressure is applied to the essential oil container through the gas pump, and the essential oil is driven to be dripped from the oil outlet tube under the combined action of the gas pump and the throttle valve, thereby achieving the dripping of the essential oil. The drip number of the essential oil dripped from the oil outlet of the oil outlet tube is detected through the drip number detection module, and the amount of the dripped essential oil is measured by recording the drip number, thereby accurately controlling the dripping of the essential oil. After the dripping of the essential oil is completed, the gas pump is stopped.

An additive dispensing system for a refrigerator that includes a reservoir configured to contain an additive and an additive outlet in fluid communication with the reservoir. The additive dispensing system is configured to be connected to a refrigerator and is operable to selectively dispense an amount of additive to water dispensed from the refrigerator. The additive dispensing system may be connected to a water filtration system of the refrigerator such that the additive dispensing system may dispense the amount of additive into filtered water dispensed from the refrigerator.
