Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the generation of noise by constituting the opening part of gas discharge side of supporting body of a cylindrical part and of an open area formed with the slanting part which is enlarged to the gas discharge direction from the top end part of gas discharge side of the cylindrical part. CONSTITUTION:The gas supplied to the inside of the device from a conduit 4 is passed through numerous fine porous membrane 1 and discharged from the surface of the membrane into water in fine bubbles. On the center of the supporting body 3, the opening for discharging gaseous CO2 is provided and consists of the cylindrical part of height (h) and the open area formed with the surface 6 slanting upward in an angle theta from the top end of the cylindrical part. Since this open part is enlarged upward to the gas discharge direction side, the bubbles are not stuck and the bubbles of CO2 can be completely dissolved.

[Prior art and its 1lI 1 problem] When discharging carbon dioxide gas generated inside the ship, such as in a manned submersible, into the water or seawater, the carbon dioxide gas is released into the water or seawater against water pressure. Air diffusers are commonly used.

散気装置から放散された炭酸ガスは、気泡となって水中

破裂し、破裂音を発生する。
The carbon dioxide gas released from the air diffuser becomes bubbles and rises in the water, but as the bubbles rise, the water pressure decreases, causing the bubbles to burst, producing a popping sound.

By the way, the smaller the diameter of bubbles rising in the water, the more difficult they are to burst, so in order to prevent noise generation, it is preferable that the diffuser be one that can discharge carbon dioxide gas into the water as fine bubbles. The dissolution rate of carbon dioxide gas, which rises in the water as bubbles, into water or seawater increases as the bubbles become smaller. From this point of view, an aeration device can release carbon dioxide gas into the water in the form of as fine bubbles as possible. It is preferable.

In the air diffuser shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, gas supplied into the device from the conduit 4 passes through the many pores of the porous membrane 1 and forms fine bubbles from its surface. However, in the device of the present invention, the open part of the support body located on the gas discharge side is expanded toward the gas discharge side, so it is not dissipated here like in conventional devices. There are no air bubbles attached to the porous membrane, and air bubbles generated from the porous membrane do not coalesce with subsequent air bubbles and grow. In addition, in the air diffuser shown in Fig. 2, since the gas shielding part is provided at the periphery of the gas passage area of the porous membrane, the distance from the peripheral wall of each opening of the support body located on the gas discharge side is Since air bubbles can be generated during the process, adhesion of air bubbles to the support can be more reliably prevented.
