Description

Carbonated water and / or oxygen water production device which combines cold and hot water {APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING OF CARBONATED WATER AND OXYGEN WATER OF HOT AND COLD WATER SUPPLY APPARATUS}

The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing carbonated water and / or oxygenated water, which also serves as a cold and hot water heater, and includes a carbon dioxide gas cylinder and an oxygen gas cylinder, respectively, in a cold and hot water in which cold water and hot water are discharged by heating means and cooling means. By selectively discharging and dissolving in the drinking water of the container it is possible to obtain carbonated water or oxygen water or a mixture of carbonated water and oxygen water beneficial to the human body.

People living in modern urban society always suffer from oxygen deficiency due to problems such as air pollution, lack of exercise, stress, overeating, heavy drinking and smoking.

In order to solve this oxygen deficiency phenomenon, you may live in search of a mountain or the sea where the air is clear, but in reality, it is difficult, and the amount that can be accepted through the respiratory organ (lung) is different and limited depending on the individual lung capacity.

Therefore, if oxygen can be additionally supplied to the body by drinking water other than oxygen obtained through the respiratory tract (lung) without looking for acid or sea through high concentration oxygen water, oxygen deficiency can naturally be improved and oxygen deficiency can be improved. If so, the cells can become strong and the human body can be healthy.

In general, oxygen water of 80ppm or more is called high concentration oxygen water, and it is because of the partial pressure of oxygen of the human body that is deciding more than 80ppm.

(Table 1). Oxygen partial pressure table by age

20's 95mmHg 40 spaces 80mmHg 50 spaces 70mmHg 60 spaces 70mmHg 70 spaces 65mmHg

As shown in Table 1, as the age increases, the partial pressure of oxygen decreases. In particular, various diseases are generated from the 40s when the partial pressure becomes 80 mmHg or less. (Oxygen partial pressure of normal adult in air is 80-100mmHg)

The oxygen partial pressure of healthy adults must be at least 80mmHg in this way so that oxygen in oxygen water can supply enough oxygen to each tissue of human body through gas diffusion phenomenon.

The results of experiments on oxygen partial pressure and carbon dioxide partial pressure after drinking oxygenated water (Nov. 2001), published by Dr. W. Forth, O. Adam, showed that the oxygen partial pressure continued to increase when the concentration of oxygenated water exceeded 80 ppm. After 40 minutes, the results showed statistically significant values. When 150 ppm of oxygen water was consumed, the elevated oxygen partial pressure was continuously maintained and increased even after one hour after drinking.

In addition, water with sufficient oxygen is fresh and healthy. Oxygen concentration of general drinking water such as tap water is 7 ~ 9ppm, whereas water of longevity villages around the world has oxygen concentration of 15ppm. The oxygen concentration of water that is good for the human body is 35 to 40ppm, but when a lot of oxygen enters, it is often felt that the stimulus is severe, and commercially available oxygen drinks are set to approximately 24ppm line. In a normal living environment, the amount of oxygen supplied to the body through breathing is limited due to lung capacity. Therefore, drinking oxygen-saturated water provides more oxygen to the internal organs, activating cellular functions. (Daily Economy 2003-10-15)

 In many studies, high levels of oxygenated water contribute to improving exercise effectiveness, increasing endurance, increasing muscle strength, lowering pulse rate and maintaining glucose levels in the blood even when energy consumption peaks during exercise. It also increases during intense exercise and reduces Lactic acid, which makes you tired after exercise. In addition, high levels of oxygenated water shorten recovery time and reduce muscle stiffness after exercise. ”(USA Today)
