Problems to be Solved by the Invention Conventionally, as mentioned above, a gas cylinder has been used to enrich the chamber with gas, but in this method, the flow rate supplied to the chamber can be adjusted using a valve. It is necessary to convert pressure to flow rate during operation, and the operation must be performed by a skilled person. Also, creating a certain concentration throughout the room requires very complicated operations such as mixing outside air. Furthermore, when using a gas cylinder whose concentration has been adjusted, the cost increases. Moreover,
Another disadvantage is that the supply may be temporarily interrupted when changing or refilling cylinders.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a gas separation membrane unit, a suction pump that applies suction pressure to the gas separation membrane unit, and a control means that controls the rotation speed of the suction pump. The enriched gas is supplied to the chamber through a conduit.

This enriched gas is sent into the chamber through a conduit, but at this time, the concentration and flow rate of the enriched gas are determined by the pressure applied to the membrane unit, so if the pressure is kept constant, the concentration and flow rate are stable.
Flow rate can be supplied. In the case of a positive displacement suction pump, the higher the rotation speed, the higher the discharge flow rate, so when combined with a gas separation membrane unit, this rotation speed control allows you to set any pressure soba, or any concentration and flow rate. .

In addition, operation and suspension can be performed with a single switch, eliminating the need for temporary supply during cylinder switching and refilling.
