Abstract

PURPOSE:To create an atmosphere of forest bathing or more than that of the forest bathing artificially while living in a city without going out to the forest by a method wherein trees, branches, sprouts, wooden materials and/or these fine pieces are located at a proper position in a purifying air circulation part. CONSTITUTION:Air is passed from an outlet 23 through a discharging pipe 6 under an operation of a fan F and then blown into a dust removing and germ eliminating cyclone 2. In the cyclone 2, the dust and germ contained in the air are discharged through a valve 24, the air having the dusts and germs removed is discharged through the outlet pipe 8 and then blown into the heat exchanging cyclone 3 from the inlet 32. The blown air is set to have a saturated relative humidity under an atomization or injection of cold water and at the same time directly contacted with an evaporation pipe 30 of a refrigerator 29. Thus, the cooled air which is made to have a substantial saturated relative humidity is blown out of the outlet pipe 11. The blown out air is then blown into the heating and humidity adjusting cyclone 4 and heated. The air of which temperature and humidity are adjusted to the desired temperature and desired humidity is passed from the outlet pipe 21 through the feeding pipe 35 and blown into the room 1 from the inlet 32.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for producing a arboreal atmosphere, that is to say a so-called forest bathing atmosphere.

In recent years, it has been discovered that forest bathing is extremely effective in maintaining and improving health, and forest bathing has become popular. However, in order to practice forest bathing, it is necessary to go to the forest, which is a fatal flaw in that it requires not only a lot of time but also a lot of money.

The purpose of the present invention is to artificially create an atmosphere similar to that of forest bathing or even better, without having to go to the forest, without having to go to a forest. These technical issues are
It has not been previously known and is new in itself.

The present invention was made to solve these new technical problems, and is applicable not only to ordinary rooms but also to movie theaters,
The idea is to artificially provide a tree-scented atmosphere that makes you feel like you are in a large forest in theaters, music halls, community halls, hospitals, schools, offices, gymnasiums, etc., at a low cost, and to easily provide a purified and clean forest bathing atmosphere. This invention relates to a completely new and useful method.

In order to achieve this goal, as a result of careful consideration from various aspects,
It was discovered that an industrial method for efficiently assigning shelf bins to air is to place trees, etc. at appropriate positions in the circulation path that circulates purified air, and based on this new knowledge, After further research, the present invention was completed.

The drawing shows an apparatus for realizing an embodiment of a method for producing a fragrant atmosphere in a room 1 of a movie theater, a hall, etc., in which the air from the room 1 shown in FIG. Ru. 2 is a cyclone for removing dust, and clean air from which dust and bacteria have been removed is blown out from an outlet pipe 8. The cyclone 2 is provided with a cleaning pipe 7 for cleaning, and dust and bacteria are discharged through a valve 24. Reference numeral 3 designates a heat exchange cyclone, in which an evaporation pipe 30 of a refrigerator 29 is arranged, and an air inlet 32 is provided in the tangential direction at the upper part of the cylindrical part 31. An outlet 11 is provided in the center of the cylindrical portion 31 and extends downward from above.
A cold water injection pipe 12 is connected to the outlet pipe 1 coaxially with the outlet pipe 11.
They are arranged around 1. The injection pipe 12 is provided with a large number of injection nozzles 13. Evaporation tube 30 and injection nozzle 1
3, the water from the injection nozzle 13 is transferred to the evaporation pipe 30.
It is arranged so that it can be sprayed in a spray or jet state. A filtration device 16, a water tank 5, and a pump 1 are connected to the lower end of the conical portion 33 of the cyclone 3 through a drain pipe 15.
7 are provided in sequence. Therefore, the cold water flows in the direction of arrow B, that is, pump 17 → water supply pipe 14 → injection pipe 12 →
The water is circulated in the order of the cylindrical part 31 of the cyclone 3 → its conical part 33 → the filtration device 16 → the water tank 5 → the pump 17. Refrigerant, particularly high temperature refrigerant (approximately 1 DEG C. to -5 DEG C.), is circulated in the direction of arrow C, that is, in the order of refrigerator 29 -> cooling supply pipe 9 -> evaporation pipe 30 -> cooling discharge pipe 10 -> refrigerator 29. 4
is a heating and humidity control cyclone, which is an example of an air heating device.

Of course, it is also possible to heat air at low temperature and saturated relative humidity using a simple heater, burner, etc. A heating fluid pipe 18 through which heating fluid passes is arranged within the cyclone 4 . The fluid passing through the tube 18 flows out from the outlet 19 and is heated by the heater 20 . The knife 4 is further provided with a ventilation fan 34.

Each cyclone 2, 3.4 is provided with a cleaning pipe 7 for internal cleaning. In the diagram, 24°25.2G, 2
7.28 indicates a valve and indicates the direction of air flow of arrow A.

Trees are placed at appropriate locations in the air circulation path described above, and it is preferable to house the trees in containers of various shapes and allow air to flow through the containers. The tree container may be square, cylindrical, spherical or any other shape; for example, a cyclone shape as shown in FIG. 2 can be advantageously used.

The tree container cyclone lOO has an air inlet pipe 101 tangentially provided at its upper part, and an outlet pipe 102 extending from above to below at its center.

Trees 103 are housed inside this cyclone 3.

As the trees, any plant that has a rich storage shelf and creates a forest bathing atmosphere can be used. For example, it is preferable to use trees, branches, leaves, buds, wood, etc. alone or in combination. If necessary, these trees may be cut, crushed, or crushed into small pieces, and for example, cypress chips can be advantageously used. A screen is provided on the downstream side of the outlet pipes 1 and 02 of this cyclone as necessary.

An air filter or the like may be installed to remove dust and fungi from trees. It is also good to make the internal trees 103 replaceable by making the cyclone cone etc. openable and closable.

The tree cyclone 100 is appropriately installed in the air circulation section shown in FIG. 1, and the installation location is not particularly limited. For example, thick arrow ■,
It is preferable to attach one or several units to each part of the pipe connecting the cyclones 2 and 3, the vibrator connecting the cyclones 3 and 4, and the supply pipe 35 leading to the chamber 1, as shown by IT and ■. Also.

Not only these pipes, but also this tree cyclone 10 instead of cyclone 2, as shown by thick arrow IV.
It is also possible to set 0.

Next, the method of the present invention using the storage bin atmosphere production apparatus described in 1- will be explained in detail. The air in the theater room 1 is blown into the dust removal cyclone 2 from the outlet 23 through the exhaust pipe 6 by the operation of the fan F. In the cyclone 2, dust and bacteria in the air are discharged through the valve 24,
The air from which dust and bacteria have been removed comes out from the outlet pipe 8 and is blown into the heat exchange cyclone 3 through the air outlet 32. The blown air is made to have a saturated relative humidity by spraying or jetting cold water, and is cooled by directly contacting the evaporation tube 30 of the refrigerator 29. Air that has been cooled and brought to approximately saturated relative humidity (eg, about 1° C., about 95%) is delivered through outlet pipe 11 . The sent air is blown into the heating and humidity conditioning cyclone 4 and heated (eg, about 20° C., about 60%). In this way, the air whose temperature and humidity are controlled to a predetermined temperature and humidity is passed from the outlet pipe 21 through the supply pipe 35 to the inlet 32.
It is sent into chamber 1. In this way, the air becomes @circled.

During that time, the air passes through a tree cyclone of 100 m, and various tree components such as terpene hydrocarbons such as pinene, camphene, and limonene, alcohols such as borneol, terpene alcohol, and chilpinol, other aldehydes, and ketones are in the air. It volatilizes and mixes into the room 1 to create an atmosphere rich in shelf bin components and other forest bathing components.

According to this method, the tree components can be mixed in the air without any human processing, so it is possible to create an extremely mild atmosphere for forest bathing completely naturally. It is especially excellent.

As described above, according to the method of the present invention, storage bins are assigned, and the temperature-controlled and humidity-controlled clean air flows into movie theaters and other rooms, making the rooms extremely refreshing and healthy. It can create an effective forest bathing atmosphere. Moreover, if the method of the above-mentioned embodiment is adopted, since the air is circulated within the closed system, less energy is required for cooling, etc., and an extremely economical and comfortable storage bin atmosphere can be created.
