  • Patent number: 7237767
    Abstract: Hot water (12) in a bath (11) is pumped up by a suction pump (9) and introduced into a carbon dioxide gas dissolver (7) through solution flow rate adjusting means (14) and then, poured into the bath (11). Carbon dioxide gas supplied from a carbon dioxide gas cylinder (1) is introduced into the carbon dioxide gas dissolver (7) through gas flow rate adjusting means (5). At this time, the quantity of bubbles existing in artificial carbonated spring in a take-out pipe (15) is measured with a measuring device (13), and the solution flow rate adjusting means (14), gas flow rate adjusting means (5) and the like are controlled by means of a control device (16) using a relational expression between a preliminarily set quantity of bubbles and carbon dioxide concentration to obtain a desired concentration of carbon dioxide gas in carbonated spring.

  • Publication number: 20060202363
    Abstract: It relates to equipment and a process for producing carbonated water of a high-concentration inexpensively and easily. Since the equipment for producing the carbonated water and the process for producing the carbonated water using a static mixer having 20 to 100 elements realize production of the carbonated water of the high-concentration inexpensively and easily, they can be applied particularly effectively for so-called one pass production process. Moreover, the carbonated water of a higher concentration can be produced further effectively by providing a value Re×N of 100,000 to 2,000,000, wherein N is a number of elements of the static mixer and Re is a Reynolds number when a mixture of water and a carbonic acid gas flow in the static mixer.

  • Publication number: 20050260301
    Abstract: This invention concerns an apparatus and a method for producing carbonated water capable of obtaining high concentration carbonated water effectively. Carbon dioxide gas is passed through a first carbon dioxide gas dissolver (7) composed of a membrane module to be dissolved in water and the carbonated water passing through the first carbon dioxide gas dissolver (7) is passed through a static mixer (13), which is a second carbon dioxide gas dissolver. Consequently, a high concentration carbonated water can be obtained remarkably, effectively and easily with a simpler structure than conventionally.

  • Publication number: 20050037092
    Abstract: A treatment method capable of regenerating new blood vessels at an affected site of a peripheral blood vessel that is highly safe with respect to the human body and is easily performed. More specifically, a vascularization therapy that increases the number of newly formed blood vessels of an affected site by immersing in carbonated warm water having a carbon dioxide concentration of 700 ppm or more and a water temperature of 33 to 42° C. A vascularization therapy that increases the number of vascular endothelial cells in tissue of an affected site by 1.5 times or more and that increases the number of endothelial precursor cells in the peripheral blood at an affected site by 1.1 times or more by immersing the affected site of a peripheral blood vessel in the aforementioned carbonated warm water.
