In Patent Document 2, in consideration of the amount of dissolved air determined by the water temperature, the discharge pressure of the pump 1 is set so as to maintain the pressure at which all of the air sucked from the orifice fixed valve 7 is dissolved in the water in the gas-liquid mixing tank. An invention is disclosed in which excessive air is prevented from being discharged into the bathtub or the like by setting and controlling.
Patent Document 3 discloses an ejector-type micro-bubble generator installed in the middle of a circulation path for circulating water in a storage tank through an external circulation path.

炭酸ガスをマイクロバブル化して湯に混合して、白濁化させた風呂は、炭酸ガスが温浴効果を高め血行を促進し、疲れ・肩こり・冷え症などに効果のあることが知られている。
炭酸ガスをマイクロバブル化する特許文献1の発明では、密閉容器に水噴射ノズルと二酸化炭素ガス噴射ノズルの噴出部を接続し、噴出効果で密閉容器内が攪拌混合され、二酸化炭酸と空気の一部を水に溶解させ、残る気体部分については攪拌効果でマイクロバブル化するとされている。
しかし、単なる噴射ノズルの噴出効果のみで気体がマイクロバブル化できるとは考え難く、大きな気泡が浴槽内に放される可能性が強い。大きな気泡となって放出される二酸化炭素には温浴効果は無くむしろ、快適な入浴妨げになる。
It is known that in a bath in which carbon dioxide gas is microbubbled and mixed with hot water to make it cloudy, carbon dioxide gas enhances the warm bath effect and promotes blood circulation, and is effective for fatigue, stiff shoulders, coldness and the like.
In the invention of Patent Document 1 in which carbon dioxide gas is converted into microbubbles, a water jet nozzle and a jet part of a carbon dioxide gas jet nozzle are connected to a sealed container, and the inside of the sealed container is agitated and mixed by the jet effect, so that carbon dioxide and air It is said that the part is dissolved in water, and the remaining gas part is microbubbled by the stirring effect.
However, it is difficult to think that the gas can be microbubbled only by the jetting effect of the jet nozzle, and there is a strong possibility that large bubbles are released into the bathtub. Carbon dioxide released as large bubbles does not have a warm bath effect, but rather hinders comfortable bathing.

また、特許文献1の発明では密閉容器内に水位検出センサを配置し、容器内気体体積を所定範囲内に維持はしているが、気体の二酸化炭酸と空気の割合は把握困難である。極端な場合密閉容器内の気体が全て空気になった場合、炭酸ガスの供給が遮断され続けることもあり得る。
本願発明の課題は次の2点である。
第1の課題:貯留層に還流する液体中に大サイズの気泡が含まれると、突沸的現象が起こる。液中に含まれる気泡は全てマイクロバブル(微細気泡)化され、大サイズ気泡を除去する必要がある。
第2の課題:ガスボンベなどを用い空気以外のガスを使用する場合、マイクロバブル化できずに無駄に放出されるガスを減らす。
Further, in the invention of Patent Document 1, a water level detection sensor is arranged in a sealed container and the gas volume in the container is maintained within a predetermined range, but it is difficult to grasp the ratio of carbon dioxide to air. In an extreme case, when all the gas in the sealed container becomes air, the supply of carbon dioxide gas may continue to be shut off.
The problems of the present invention are the following two points.
First problem: When large-sized bubbles are included in the liquid returning to the reservoir, a sudden phenomenon occurs. All the bubbles contained in the liquid are converted into micro bubbles (fine bubbles), and it is necessary to remove large-sized bubbles.
Second problem: When a gas other than air is used by using a gas cylinder or the like, the amount of gas released unnecessarily without being microbubbled is reduced.

本願発明によれば従技術に存在した2課題に対し、それぞれ次ぎの対応が可能である。
(1) 第1の課題について
本発明の微細気泡形成装置では、少なくとも第1気泡微細化手段があって、気体は微細化されて液中に混入される。また微細化されない大サイズの気泡が存在したとしても大サイズの気泡は圧力調整槽に送出され、圧力調整槽内での滞留中に、液中から容易に分離浮上し、貯留層上部空間に放出される。上部空間に放出された気体は、第1気泡微細化手段により再度微細化されて液中に混合されるので、還流する液中に含まれる気泡は全てマイクロバブル(微細気泡)化され、液中には大サイズの気泡は存在しないので突沸的現象は回避され、第一の課題は解決される。
なお、気泡の微細化は第1気泡微細化手段に加え、第2気泡微細化手段や、第3気泡微細化手段を併用することで一層促進される。
According to the present invention, the following measures can be taken for each of the two problems existing in the prior art.
(1) About the first problem In the fine bubble forming apparatus of the present invention, there is at least a first bubble refinement means, and the gas is refined and mixed into the liquid. Even if there are large-sized bubbles that are not miniaturized, the large-sized bubbles are sent to the pressure adjustment tank, and during the stay in the pressure adjustment tank, they are easily separated and floated from the liquid and released into the upper space of the reservoir. Is done. Since the gas released into the upper space is refined again by the first bubble refinement means and mixed in the liquid, all the bubbles contained in the refluxing liquid are converted into microbubbles (fine bubbles). Since there is no large-sized bubble, the sudden phenomenon is avoided and the first problem is solved.
In addition, in addition to the 1st bubble refinement | miniaturization means, the refinement | miniaturization of a bubble is further accelerated | stimulated by using together a 2nd bubble refinement | miniaturization means and a 3rd bubble refinement | miniaturization means.

(2) 第2の課題について
空気以外のガスである炭酸ガスや水素であっても、また使用液体が水以外の例えば重油をベースとするエマルジョン燃料であっても、気体の微細気泡化効果は同じである。また、本発明では液中に存在する大きな気泡は圧力調整槽で分離回収され、再度微細化気泡として液中に戻されるので、無駄に放出される気体はなく、第二の課題も解決される。

Further, in the present invention, large bubbles present in the liquid are separated and collected in the pressure adjusting tank and returned to the liquid again as refined bubbles, so that there is no uselessly released gas and the second problem is solved. .

本発明による微細気泡形成装置の第1の実施例を図1を用い説明する。
貯留槽6に液体9が貯留されており液体は加圧液体ポンプ7により循環路8aを経由して吸引される。吸引された液体は加圧液体ポンプ7に至るまでの間に第2気泡微細化手段2により吸引ノズル22から気体を吸引し、吸引した気体を微細気泡化して液体中に混入させる。
気液混合状態の液体は循環路8bを経由して加圧液体ポンプ7に吸引される。加圧液体ポンプ7はロータリー方式のポンプで排出側の管路抵抗に対応する突出圧力を発生させる。加圧液体ポンプ7により加圧状態で送出された液体は循環路8cを経由して第1気泡微細化手段1に至る。
A first embodiment of a fine bubble forming apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
The liquid 9 is stored in the storage tank 6, and the liquid is sucked by the pressurized liquid pump 7 via the circulation path 8a. The sucked liquid is sucked from the suction nozzle 22 by the second bubble refining means 2 before reaching the pressurized liquid pump 7, and the sucked gas is made into fine bubbles and mixed into the liquid.
The liquid in the gas-liquid mixed state is sucked into the pressurized liquid pump 7 via the circulation path 8b. The pressurized liquid pump 7 is a rotary type pump that generates a protruding pressure corresponding to the pipe line resistance on the discharge side. The liquid delivered in a pressurized state by the pressurized liquid pump 7 reaches the first bubble refining means 1 via the circulation path 8c.

第1気泡微細化手段1の吸気管22の吸気部は圧力調整槽4の上部空間に開放されており、液体送出口も圧力調整槽4の上部に開放されている。第1気泡微細化手段1は吸気管22により圧力調整槽4の上部空間に滞留する気体を吸引し、循環路8c内を圧送される気液混合液体中に微細化して混合させる。気液混合された液体は第1気泡微細化手段1の送出口から圧力調整槽4内に噴出される。圧力調整槽4内は加圧液体ポンプ7の送出圧に対応して高圧に維持されるので、気体の一部は循環路8c内と圧力調整槽4内において液体に溶解する。 The intake part of the intake pipe 22 of the first bubble refining means 1 is opened to the upper space of the pressure adjustment tank 4, and the liquid delivery port is also opened to the upper part of the pressure adjustment tank 4. The first bubble refining means 1 sucks the gas staying in the upper space of the pressure adjusting tank 4 through the intake pipe 22 and makes it finely mixed in the gas-liquid mixed liquid fed in the circulation path 8c. The gas-liquid mixed liquid is ejected from the outlet of the first bubble miniaturizing means 1 into the pressure adjusting tank 4. Since the inside of the pressure adjusting tank 4 is maintained at a high pressure corresponding to the delivery pressure of the pressurized liquid pump 7, a part of the gas is dissolved in the liquid in the circulation path 8 c and the pressure adjusting tank 4.

気液混然となった液体は圧力調整槽4内に一定時間滞留する。滞留時間は圧力調整槽4の容積や上部に形成される空間体積、液体の流速などにより決まる。このとき、微小気泡は第1気泡微細化手段1から送出される液体の攪拌効果で気液混然となって圧力調整槽4内を循環するが、大サイズの気泡は浮上力が大きいので液体表面に浮上分離され、上部空間に放出される。従って内部圧力調整部材5に流出する液中に含まれる気泡は微細気泡のみとなる。
内部圧力調整部材5は例えば弁であり、液体流路を狭めて流路抵抗を増大させ、圧力調整槽4の内部圧力を上昇させたり、逆に液体流路を拡張させ、流路抵抗を低減させ圧力調整槽4内部圧力を降下させることができる。
The liquid that has become a mixture of gas and liquid stays in the pressure adjustment tank 4 for a certain period of time. The residence time is determined by the volume of the pressure adjusting tank 4, the space volume formed in the upper part, the flow rate of the liquid, and the like. At this time, the microbubbles are mixed in the gas and liquid by the stirring effect of the liquid sent out from the first bubble miniaturizing means 1 and circulate in the pressure adjusting tank 4. It floats on the surface and is released into the upper space. Therefore, the bubbles contained in the liquid flowing out to the internal pressure adjusting member 5 are only fine bubbles.
The internal pressure adjusting member 5 is, for example, a valve, and narrows the liquid flow path to increase the flow resistance, thereby increasing the internal pressure of the pressure adjusting tank 4 or conversely expanding the liquid flow path to reduce the flow resistance. Then, the pressure inside the pressure adjusting tank 4 can be lowered.

内部圧力調整部材5を通過した気液混合液体は循環路8dに流出した瞬間内部圧力が一気に貯留槽6内部の液体9と略同一圧力に減圧される。このとき液中に溶解していた気体も一気に微細気泡となって液中に析出する。循環路8dから貯留槽6に放出される液中には第1、2の気泡微細化手段で
液に混入された微細気泡と、加圧液体ポンプにより加圧溶された後、減圧により液中から析出した微細気泡が混然一体に含まれる。
The gas-liquid mixed liquid that has passed through the internal pressure adjusting member 5 is depressurized to the same pressure as the liquid 9 inside the storage tank 6 at once when the instantaneous internal pressure flows out into the circulation path 8d. At this time, the gas dissolved in the liquid also becomes fine bubbles and precipitates in the liquid. In the liquid discharged from the circulation path 8d to the storage tank 6, the fine bubbles mixed in the liquid by the first and second bubble refining means are pressurized and dissolved by the pressurized liquid pump, and then the pressure is reduced. The fine bubbles deposited from are mixed together.

ここで、第1、2の気泡微細化手段の詳細について説明する。
図3、図4にこれら気泡微細化手段の構造を示す。第1と第2の気泡微細化手段に機能上の差異は無い。
まず図3のSタイプノズルの構成について説明する。
Sタイプノズルは本体30とキャップ31で構成され、本体30の中心部に流路21が設けられ液体は矢印方向(図面左から右)に流れる。液体流路の断面積は流路に沿って変化し、また断面積に対応して本体内部の流速も変化する。具体的には流路21に流入した液体はオリフィス23で急激に流路を狭められ、その後拡大流路領域24に至る。このとき吸気管22がノズル内部に開口する部位が負圧になるため吸気管22から気体が吸入される。吸入気体は高速に流れる液体にせん断されて微細気泡となり液体と混然一体となって排出口25から送出される。
Here, the detail of the 1st, 2nd bubble refinement | miniaturization means is demonstrated.
3 and 4 show the structure of these bubble refining means. There is no functional difference between the first and second bubble refining means.
First, the configuration of the S type nozzle of FIG. 3 will be described.
The S type nozzle is composed of a main body 30 and a cap 31, and a flow path 21 is provided at the center of the main body 30, and the liquid flows in the direction of the arrow (from left to right in the drawing). The cross-sectional area of the liquid channel changes along the channel, and the flow velocity inside the main body also changes corresponding to the cross-sectional area. Specifically, the liquid flowing into the flow path 21 is suddenly narrowed by the orifice 23 and then reaches the enlarged flow path region 24. At this time, since the portion where the intake pipe 22 opens inside the nozzle becomes negative pressure, gas is sucked from the intake pipe 22. The suction gas is sheared by the liquid flowing at high speed to become fine bubbles, and is mixed with the liquid and sent out from the discharge port 25.

次に図4を用いRタイプノズルの構成について説明する。
Rタイプノズルは本体30とキャップ31で構成され、本体30の中心部に流路21が設けられて液体は矢印方向(図面左から右)に流れる。RタイプノズルもSタイプノズル以上に内部流路の内径が複雑に変化し、また流路に沿った断面積に対応して本体内部の流速が変化する。
まず、左端の流入路21に接続する吸気路27で流路断面積は急激に狭められ、中間流路26に至り拡大される。中間流路26の先端部にオリフィス23が設けられ、オリフィスの先は逐次流路が拡大され、拡大流路24に至る。拡大流路の先端は噴出口25であり、液体は噴出口から送出される。
なお、吸気流路27の部位は流速が最も早い部位で、この部位に接続する吸気管の開口部は負圧になり吸気管22を介して外部より気体が吸引される。吸引された気体はオリフィス部を通過する高速流体にせん断され、微細気泡となって噴出口25から送出される。
Next, the configuration of the R type nozzle will be described with reference to FIG.
The R type nozzle is composed of a main body 30 and a cap 31, and a flow path 21 is provided at the center of the main body 30 so that the liquid flows in the direction of the arrow (from left to right in the drawing). As for the R type nozzle, the inner diameter of the internal flow path changes more complicatedly than the S type nozzle, and the flow velocity inside the main body changes corresponding to the cross-sectional area along the flow path.
First, in the intake passage 27 connected to the left end inflow passage 21, the flow passage cross-sectional area is abruptly narrowed and reaches the intermediate flow passage 26 to be enlarged. An orifice 23 is provided at the distal end of the intermediate flow path 26, and the flow path is sequentially expanded at the tip of the orifice to reach the expanded flow path 24. The tip of the enlarged flow path is a jet outlet 25, and the liquid is delivered from the jet outlet.
The portion of the intake flow path 27 has the fastest flow velocity, and the opening of the intake pipe connected to this portion has a negative pressure, and gas is sucked from the outside through the intake pipe 22. The sucked gas is sheared by the high-speed fluid passing through the orifice portion, and is sent out from the jet outlet 25 as fine bubbles.

なお、図1に記載は無いが、圧力調整槽4に液面の下限を検出可能なセンサー(例えば図2に示す液面下限検出センサー41、或いはフロート)を配置し、液体量が限界を越えて減少したとき(上部空間体積が限界以上に拡大したとき)第2気泡微細化手段が吸引する気体量を制限させることができる。逆に、圧力調整槽4上部の空間が液体で充填される場合もあり得る。この場合吸気管22が圧力調整槽4内の液体を吸引することになるが、吸気管22が液体を吸引するに至っても何ら機能上の問題は何ら生じない。

Although not shown in FIG. 1, a sensor (for example , the liquid level lower limit detection sensor 41 shown in FIG. 2 or a float) capable of detecting the lower limit of the liquid level is arranged in the pressure adjusting tank 4, and the liquid amount exceeds the limit. The amount of gas sucked by the second bubble refining means can be limited when the upper space volume is expanded beyond the limit. Conversely, the space above the pressure adjustment tank 4 may be filled with liquid. In this case, the intake pipe 22 sucks the liquid in the pressure adjusting tank 4, but no functional problem occurs even if the intake pipe 22 sucks the liquid.

次に第2の構成例について図2を用いて説明する。
図2の基本構成は図1と同じであるが、相違点は循環路8dの先端部に第3気泡微細化手段3が設置され、この気泡微細化手段の先端が貯留槽6に開放されている点である。
図2では第3気泡微細化手段3を追加設置されるので、液中の微細気泡は更に微細化される。
第3気泡微細化手段3の代表例を図5に示す。
Next, a second configuration example will be described with reference to FIG.
The basic configuration of FIG. 2 is the same as that of FIG. 1, except that the third bubble refinement means 3 is installed at the tip of the circulation path 8d, and the tip of the bubble refinement means is opened to the storage tank 6. It is a point.
In FIG. 2, since the third bubble refining means 3 is additionally installed, the fine bubbles in the liquid are further refined.
A representative example of the third bubble refining means 3 is shown in FIG.

図5のAタイプノズルは本体11と、キャップ14と、螺旋流板15と、メッシュ16で構成され、本体11の中心部に断面円形の流路が設けられ、液体は矢印方向(図面左から右)に流れる。本体内部の流路断面積は流れ方向に沿って様々に変化しており、断面積に対応して本体内部の流速は変化する。
まず、左方より流入する液体は螺旋板15で流れ方向が旋回流に変えられる。この旋回効果で気泡はせん断力を受け微細化する。内径D1の流路を旋回しながら流れオリフィス12に至る。オリフィス部において流路は急激に狭まり流速が増す。オリフィス通過後はなだらかに流路断面が拡張され最大内径D2になる。オリフィス部では内径方向の流速勾配が大きく、液中に存在する気泡に大きなせん断力が作用し、液中に存在する微細気泡の更なる微細化が進む。オリフィス通過後流体はメッシュ16に至る。メッシュ通過時流速は局所的に変化するのでこの場合も気泡にせん断力が作用し、微細化は更に促進される。キャップ14の貯留槽6への開放口の内径はD3に狭められるので、液体は微細気泡を含み気液混合状態で勢いよく貯留槽6に放射される。
The A type nozzle of FIG. 5 is composed of a main body 11, a cap 14, a spiral flow plate 15, and a mesh 16. A flow path having a circular cross section is provided at the center of the main body 11, and the liquid is in the direction of the arrow (from the left in the drawing). To the right). The flow path cross-sectional area inside the main body varies in various directions along the flow direction, and the flow velocity inside the main body changes corresponding to the cross-sectional area.
First, the liquid flowing in from the left is changed to a swirl flow by the spiral plate 15. Due to this swirl effect, the bubbles receive a shearing force and become finer. The flow reaches the orifice 12 while swirling the flow path having the inner diameter D1. In the orifice portion, the flow path is rapidly narrowed and the flow velocity is increased. After passing through the orifice, the flow path cross section is gently expanded to the maximum inner diameter D2. In the orifice portion, the flow velocity gradient in the inner diameter direction is large, and a large shearing force acts on the bubbles existing in the liquid, so that the fine bubbles existing in the liquid are further miniaturized. After passing through the orifice, the fluid reaches the mesh 16. Since the flow velocity at the time of passing through the mesh changes locally, a shearing force acts on the bubbles in this case as well, and the miniaturization is further promoted. Since the inner diameter of the opening of the cap 14 to the storage tank 6 is narrowed to D3, the liquid contains fine bubbles and is vigorously radiated to the storage tank 6 in a gas-liquid mixed state.

実施例1では次の2条件で装置運転をした時のマイクロバブル大きさと、圧力調整槽の空間体積
変化を目視観察した。
条件1:第1気泡微細化手段1を通常条件(吸気管22を「開」にして)で5分間運転。
条件2:第1気泡微細化手段1の吸気管22を「閉」にして5分間運転。
この結果、定性的には次の差異が認められた。
(1)条件1で形成されるマイクロバブルは、条件2で形成されるマイクロバブルに比べ粒度が小さく、水中での滞留が長い。
(2)条件1では吸気管を介して圧力調整槽内の気体が泡状に吸引される状況が観察され、また、圧力調整層内の気体比率は条件2に比べ小さい。
本実験により、圧力調整槽内では、大型サイズの気泡が浮上分離され、これらが上部空間に滞留し
第1気泡微細化手段の吸気管に吸引されてマイクロバブル化されて再び水中に混入されるので、気
泡の微細化が一層促進されることが確認された。
これにより、本発明の請求項1に係る圧力調整槽の気泡分離機能と、請求項2に係る第1気泡微細化手段の圧力調整槽からの気体吸引効果の有効性が確認された。
In Example 1, the microbubble size when the apparatus was operated under the following two conditions and the change in the space volume of the pressure adjusting tank were visually observed.
Condition 1: The first bubble refining means 1 is operated for 5 minutes under normal conditions (the intake pipe 22 is “open”).
Condition 2: Operation is performed for 5 minutes with the intake pipe 22 of the first bubble refining means 1 closed.
As a result, the following differences were recognized qualitatively.
(1) The microbubbles formed under the condition 1 have a smaller particle size than the microbubbles formed under the condition 2, and the residence time in water is long.
(2) In condition 1, a situation is observed in which the gas in the pressure adjusting tank is sucked in a bubble shape through the intake pipe, and the gas ratio in the pressure adjusting layer is smaller than in condition 2.
According to this experiment, large-sized bubbles are floated and separated in the pressure adjusting tank, and these bubbles stay in the upper space, are sucked into the intake pipe of the first bubble refining means, become microbubbles, and are mixed into the water again. Therefore, it was confirmed that the refinement of bubbles was further promoted.
Thereby, the effectiveness of the gas separation function of the pressure adjusting tank according to claim 1 of the present invention and the effect of the gas suction from the pressure adjusting tank of the first bubble refining means according to claim 2 was confirmed.

図2のシステム構成における第3気泡微細化手段について、種々の形状のノズルを作成し、マイク
ロバブル生成特性を評価した。
実験では図5〜図10に示す6種類のノズルを作成し評価した。なお、6種類のノズル構成の特徴はつぎの通りである。
Aタイプノズル(図5):螺旋流板15と、メッシュ16を共に装着
Bタイプノズル(図6):螺旋流板15のみ装着
Cタイプノズル(図7):螺旋流板15、メッシュ16の何れも装着なし
Dタイプノズル(図8):構成はAタイプノズルと同一であるが、流水方向が逆

With respect to the third bubble refining means in the system configuration of FIG. 2, nozzles of various shapes were created and the microbubble generation characteristics were evaluated.
In the experiment, six types of nozzles shown in FIGS. 5 to 10 were prepared and evaluated. The characteristics of the six types of nozzle configurations are as follows.
A type nozzle (FIG. 5): Mounts both the spiral flow plate 15 and the mesh 16 B type nozzle (FIG. 6): Mounts only the spiral flow plate 15
C type nozzle (FIG. 7): Neither spiral flow plate 15 nor mesh 16 is mounted D type nozzle (FIG. 8): The configuration is the same as the A type nozzle, but the flowing water direction is the reverse E type nozzle (FIG. 9) : The configuration is the same as the B type nozzle, but the flowing water direction is the reverse F type nozzle (FIG. 10): The configuration is the same as the C type nozzle, but the flowing water direction is reversed.

なお、マイクロバブルの発生量は、照度計を用い図11に示す方法で計測した。
貯留槽6の下部に配置された第3気泡微細化手段3に上記A〜Fの6種類のノズル順次取り付け実験を行う。なお、貯留槽6の右方より光源36(ハロゲンランプ:E17ミニレフ電球100V.40W)で照射を行い、貯留槽6を挟み対向する位置に照度計35(ミノルタ製デジタル照度計T11)を配置する。実験は周囲環境からの光を遮断して暗黒状態で光源を点燈させるので、照度計は貯留槽6を透過する光源36からの光のみを検出する。従って、貯留槽6内に配置された第3気泡微細化手段3で気泡が作られると透過光は気泡の散乱を受け、照度計で検出される光量は低減する。
透過光量の低減はマイクロバブルの発生量にほぼ比例すると思われるので、照度計を用いた透過光量(照度)の測定により、マイクロバブルの発生量の相対評価が可能であると考えた。
A〜Fの6種類のノズルについて、マイクロバブル発生3分後の照度を測定した結果は次の通りであった。なお測定結果はマイクロバブル発生前の照度を100%とした相対値で表している。
Aタイプ: 7% Dタイプ:2%
Bタイプ:10% Eタイプ:5%
Cタイプ:14% Fタイプ:9%
マイクロバブル発生効率はDタイプが最も優れ次いでEタイプ、Aタイプの順となり、最後が
Cタイプであった。これより、マイクロバブル発生にはメッシュ16と、螺旋板15が有効に作用すること、
またノズルの設置方向は、キャップ部を水流の下流側とするよりも上流側に向ける方がマイクロバブル
は効率的に発生することが確認された。
The amount of microbubbles generated was measured by a method shown in FIG. 11 using an illuminometer.
The above-described six types of nozzles A to F are sequentially attached to the third bubble refining means 3 arranged at the lower part of the storage tank 6. In addition, it irradiates with the light source 36 (halogen lamp: E17 miniref electric bulb 100V.40W) from the right side of the storage tank 6, and the illuminance meter 35 (Minolta digital illuminance meter T11) is arrange | positioned in the position which opposes the storage tank 6. . Since the experiment blocks light from the surrounding environment and turns on the light source in the dark state, the illuminometer detects only the light from the light source 36 that passes through the storage tank 6. Therefore, when bubbles are created by the third bubble refining means 3 disposed in the storage tank 6, the transmitted light is scattered by the bubbles, and the amount of light detected by the illuminometer is reduced.
Since the reduction of the amount of transmitted light seems to be almost proportional to the amount of microbubbles generated, it was considered that the amount of generated microbubbles can be evaluated by measuring the amount of transmitted light (illuminance) using an illuminometer.
The results of measuring the illuminance 3 minutes after the generation of microbubbles for the six types of nozzles A to F were as follows. The measurement result is expressed as a relative value with the illuminance before the generation of microbubbles as 100%.
A type: 7% D type: 2%
B type: 10% E type: 5%
C type: 14% F type: 9%
The microbubble generation efficiency was highest for D type, followed by E type and A type, and finally C type. From this, the mesh 16 and the spiral plate 15 effectively act to generate microbubbles,
In addition, it was confirmed that the microbubbles are generated more efficiently when the nozzle is directed toward the upstream side rather than the cap portion at the downstream side of the water flow.

本発明にかかる微細気泡形成装置は浴場施設としてはシャワーを含め、業務用、家庭用何れにも適用可能である。また、生産工場における器具、部品など洗浄用途にも好適で、家庭用食器洗い、洗濯、業務用洗浄機、などにも適用できる。さらには、エマルジョン燃料に水素ガスを添加しエマルジョン燃料の着火特性の改質にも有効に適用できる。   The fine bubble forming apparatus according to the present invention can be applied to both business use and home use including a shower as a bath facility. Further, it is suitable for cleaning use such as appliances and parts in production factories, and can be applied to household dishwashing, washing, and commercial washing machines. Furthermore, it can be effectively applied to reforming the ignition characteristics of emulsion fuel by adding hydrogen gas to the emulsion fuel.
