Abstract: Aim for early promotion of a circular economy. After the start of use of a product including a plurality of modules, a module to be removed included in the product is replaced with a new module (a module of which a value has improved in a predetermined product value item compared to the module to be removed). Note that the new module is a module completed by article circulation of a module removed from the product or another product.

Abstract: A gas compressor includes a compression mechanism, a separator tank that introduces lubricating oil to be supplied to the compression mechanism and a mixed fluid of a working fluid and lubricating oil discharged from the compression mechanism and separates the lubricating oil. An oil cooler cools the lubricating oil from the separator tank. An oil circulation path supplies cooled lubricating oil to the compression mechanism. The gas compressor includes a suction temperature sensor that detects suction temperature of the working fluid, a discharge pressure sensor that detects discharge pressure of the compressed working fluid, a rotation speed sensor that detects rotation speed of the motor. A lubricating oil state estimation unit estimates the temperature of the lubricating oil based on the detected suction temperature, discharge pressure, and rotation speed of the motor. The lubricating oil state estimation unit uses this result to estimate the deterioration state of the lubricating oil.
