[0008]
In the present invention, when the components and water contained in the source are separated in the source and stored in the storage device, the components are concentrated by separating the water, that is, the concentrated source is separated in the source and stored in the storage device. However, water contains some mineral components from the source, so if the water containing this mineral component is stored in another container and stored, it can be sold as mineral water.
[0009]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the system of the present invention.
The source of the source 1 is pumped into the source separation and preservation device 2, and the source component is separated from the water by the source separation and preservation device 2. The source concentrated by the separation of the water is the source. The water separated and stored in the separation and storage device 2 contains a small amount of mineral components, and can be used for various purposes such as selling as mineral water. Therefore, the water is stored in another container 23 and stored. .
[0010]
FIG. 2 is a simplified diagram showing the internal structure of the source separation / storage device 2. The source separation / storage device 2 has a built-in reverse osmosis membrane 22. The water is stored in another container 23, the concentrated source is stored, and when necessary, it is pumped into a transport 3 having a built-in storage tank and a temperature controller, for example, a tank truck. .
[0011]
The reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane) 22 is commercially available from Toray Industries, Inc., and there are various types of RO membranes 22 having different mesh sizes. These are combined according to the size of the particles. The source that has passed through the RO film 22 is a source separated from water and concentrated as ionized minerals.
[0012]
The water from which the water is separated and concentrated is pumped into the transportation means 3 and transported to a hot spring bath having a hot spring bath 12, and a pressurized, closed source water storage tank 4 installed at the hot spring bath. Pumped into The pressurized, closed-source hot water storage tank 4 varies depending on the facility of the hot spring and the size of the hot tub 12, but a pressure of 2 to 5 kg / m ² is appropriate.
[0013]
The source concentrated by the primary pump 5 is circulated between the heat exchanger 7 and the pressurized, closed-type source storage hot water storage tank 4. The heat exchanger 7 is used because when the heat of the boiler 6 is directly applied to the concentrated source, the source becomes a high temperature of about 200 ° C., the state of ionization becomes unstable, the components are reduced, and the components are collapsed. This is because the utility becomes thin. The temperature in this case is preferably from 65 ° C to 70 ° C in order to kill Legionella bacteria. In addition, Legionella bacteria can be killed without destroying the components of the source by the action of the storage tank and temperature controller built in the relevant transportation, but if you forget to kill Legionella bacteria or remain for some reason Therefore, double measures were taken to ensure safety.
[0014]
The source concentrated by the secondary pump 8 is conveyed to the concentration reduction device 9 to reduce or dilute the concentrated source.
The concentration and reduction device 9 (commercially available from Toray Industries, Inc.) includes a pure water device 20 and a mixer 21 as shown in FIG. Water such as city water passes through the pure water device 20 to become pure water, and the pure water is sent to the mixer 21 and the source concentrated from the pressurized and sealed closed-source hot water storage tank 4 is mixed with the water. It is sent to 21 where pure water and concentrated source are mixed and the concentrated source is diluted.
The mixing ratio may be returned to the original concentration of the source, or may be made lower than the concentration of the original source, such as the source 1 concentrated with respect to pure water 5, or the ratio may be changed depending on the situation.
Since only pure water is used, the effect of the source can be maintained without collapse. This means that those who run a hot spring business away from the source will get the source very cheaply.
[0015]
The source reduced by the concentration and reduction device 9 is warmed by the heat exchanger 11 by the tertiary pump 10 and enters the hot spring bathtub 12. Since the source of reduced water uses water, the temperature of the hot spring becomes low. Therefore, it is heated through the heat exchanger 11 by the boiler 6, but the temperature is preferably around 40 ° C. Since the heat of the boiler 6 is not directly applied, the effect can be maintained without the components of the source being collapsed as described above.
[0016]
An electromagnetic valve for adjusting the temperature and a pump for circulating hot water are provided between the boiler and the heat exchangers 7 and 11, but they are not shown because they are well known in the art.
[0017]
Since the source returned into the hot tub 12 is also contaminated by people, the source in the hot tub is drained out after a certain period of time in order to maintain freshness, and a device 13 for collecting garbage is used. For example, a relatively large garbage such as a hair is collected via a hair catcher or the like, and the source via the garbage collecting device 13 is then passed through the filter 14 and the source via the filter 14 is passed to the sterilization tank 15. The stored sterilizing solution is injected by the operation of the quaternary pump 17, and the source into which the sterilizing solution is injected is heated by the heat exchanger 11 and enters the hot spring bathtub 12 by the operation of the tertiary pump 10. In this way, the source of the hot spring tub 12 is circulated to maintain freshness.
[0018]
In conjunction with the water level gauge 18 and the solenoid valve 19, the amount of the source in the hot tub 12 is adjusted, and the reduced source is stopped from entering the hot tub.
[0019]
【The invention's effect】
Since the present invention has the above configuration, a person who conducts a hot spring business in a place away from the source can obtain the source cheaply, without losing the effectiveness of the source, using a hot spring using a fresh source Business.
