上記(式2)~(式4)を整理すると、第2逆止弁104より上流側の流路での単位時間あたりのリーク量V’L1について、設計値や物性値、観測可能な測定値のみを用いた下記の(式5)が成り立つ。
V’L1≦V’L2のときは、リーク量の計算(図2のステップS140)において、第2逆止弁104より上流側の流路のリーク量も含めて評価できている。また、追加送液(図2のステップS160)で圧力値の上昇がみられないときは、リーク量の最低値を見積もることができる。
本発明の第2の実施の形態を図5~図8を参照しつつ詳細に説明する。
なお、本発明は上記の実施の形態に限定されるものではなく、その要旨を逸脱しない範囲内の様々な変形例や組み合わせが含まれる。また、本発明は、上記の実施の形態で説明した全ての構成を備えるものに限定されず、その構成の一部を削除したものも含まれる。また、上記の各構成、機能等は、それらの一部又は全部を、例えば集積回路で設計する等により実現してもよい。また、上記の各構成、機能等は、プロセッサがそれぞれの機能を実現するプログラムを解釈し、実行することによりソフトウェアで実現してもよい。
