Description

The invention relates to an artificial halocamera for multiple users, which contains dry NaCl aerosols in optimal concentration for prophylactic purposes and in the therapy of respiratory diseases, as well as in improving the parameters of the cardio-respiratory and psycho-motor apparatus of human subjects involved in intense physical activity.

'There are different types of halocomers based on NaCl aerosols, used for therapeutic purposes, among them we mention those in salt mines [1, 2, 3], then artificial halocameras for the treatment of hypertension with NaCl aerosols, mixed with MgCl ₂ [Patent UA69991 A / 2004], those based on NaCl aerosols, for the treatment of respiratory diseases, obtained in rooms with walls of rock salt blocks, extracted from the mine, without ventilation [Patent RU2245699 C2 / 2005 _> 02- 10] or with the ventilation of the microparticles from the surface of the blocks by means of an air jet passing through the holes made in these blocks [Patents ES2068161 A2 / 1995-04-01, SU1793932 Al, SU1741809 Al, SU1599006 Al, SU1225569 Al]. These halocameras have the disadvantage that in a fairly short time, through clogging, fouling or aerofoil processes, saline surfaces lose their function of generating dry saline aerosols.

Also known are a number of systems for preparing aerosols from sodium chloride by finely dividing the powdered rock salt suspended in a jet of air, which passes through a cylindrical colloidal mill, provided concentrically with a cyclone concentrating the jet. to the halocamera, passing it through a cloth filter [Patents WO9631221 Al, US5747002 A, NZ305168 A, JP10510292 T, EP0819006 Al, WO9311746 Al, WO9528944 Al, WO9522993 Al, XP000578935 A]. These systems in turn have a number of disadvantages related to the presence of a grinder or

Ck “2 0 0 9 - 0 0 8 9 9 0 5 Ί1- 2009

colloidal mills consuming electricity and producing noise pollution, ^ requiring sound-absorbing protection systems.

A number of devices or apparatus are also known which generate dry sodium chloride aerosols by sending a jet of air by means of a mini fan behind a diaphragm containing fine granules of sodium chloride, as such or mixed in small proportions. with other salts, such as calcium chloride, magnesium or potassium iodide, depending on the scope [ROI Patent 18181 (B) /2003.03.28], as well as cartridge masks containing a diaphragm filled with fine granules of sodium chloride, as such or mixed with other salts or finely divided organic substances, which may be taken up by aspiration by air and inhaled by the human subject to whom the therapeutic procedure applies. These devices have the disadvantage that they do not allow a large aerosol loading of dry spaces necessary for physical exercises or sports training lessons in order to increase performance and reduce the rate of improvement of cardio-respiratory and psycho-motor disorders.

The invention closest to the artificial halocamera consists of an artificial microsalt [OSIM file ... nov 2009] made in a dry sealed chamber, with ionized windows, with UV filters, equipped with anteroom (from which access is made to the other rooms with destinations that consist of the activity of the halocamera) and which have walls and ceiling lined with hemp or linen sackcloth, impregnated with microcrystals deposited by recrystallization from supersaturated NaCl solutions, as such or mixed with KI, MgCl ₂ and / or CaCl ₂ in very low concentrations predetermined according to the purpose of use of the halocamera.

This has the disadvantage of a larger investment, the periodic replacement or reactivation of the impregnated cloth, the preservation of a climate environment with controlled humidity and the periodic non-ventilation of the room, which can lead in time to the appearance of unpleasant odors.

they have a high reliability in operation, offering a self-regulating environment of negative aerosols, optimal for various therapeutic and sports activities.

The following is an embodiment.

To obtain the saline microclimate, a dry room is used, equipped with an antechamber from which access is also made to offices, changing rooms and toilets, provided with ionized windows, UV filters, and at the level of the wall in which

find the access door is mounted a device consisting of a fan and a system of heat exchangers, assembled in a blower, in the form of a wall hood,

with reverse action, in front of which there is a screen with an area of 1 m of one or more blocks of rock salt or of mixtures of pressed or molten salts with a thickness of 100 mm. The fan must be able to send a minimum volume of 0.5 m air / second. The air coming from the chamber is initially air-conditioned at a relative humidity (RH) of 60 ... 65% and a temperature of 2O ... 22 ° C, then it is sucked in by recirculation through a filter made of cellulosic, woven or non-woven textile material. It will pass through a tunnel at the end of the hood in the exhaust area, which contains a system of heat exchangers, oil-type radiator, with thermoregulation in the range of 80 ... 130 ° C. The screen with an area of 1 m ² of salt closes the end of the hood in the evacuation area. It is made either of a single parallelepiped block with a minimum thickness of 100 mm, or of several compact assemblies and tightened with a frame. The block has on the active surface of 1 m a network of holes drilled with a distance between them of 8 ... 10 mm. The holes are made with a stainless steel drill of 2 ... 4 mm. The salt screen is processed from a block of rock salt or a mixture of pressed or melted salts. The use of the rock salt screen or the salt mixture depends on the purpose of the applications (prophylactic, therapeutic and / or improvement of the parameters of the cardio-respiratory and psycho-motor apparatus of human subjects involved in physical activities ^ or7Z

For diseases of the thyroid gland and to stimulate immunity, natural gem salt with KI content or recrystallized mixture of NaCl and KI in gravimetric ratio NaCl will be used: KI = 99.5: 0.5. For the amelioration of the diseases, respectively for the improvement of the parameters of the cardio-respiratory and neuro-motor apparatus, the recrystallized mixture of NaCl with MgCl ₂ and / or CaCl ₂ in gravimetric ratios varying between 9: 1 and 8.5: 1.5 is used.

In order to improve the performance of the athletes, it is usually indicated to use - to obtain supersaturated solutions only the rock salt, but very good results have been obtained, for non-smoking athletes, the mixture of rock salt with magnesium chloride, potassium chloride and potassium iodide in relation NaCl: MgCl ₂ : KCl 3: KI = 85: 8.5: 6: 0.5.

It is known that dried NaCI aerosols, newly generated or freshly prepared, with nanometric dimensions have the behavior of negative aeroons, which have a special role in extinguishing and destabilizing positive aeroons, especially those from human activities (sweating, respiration, smoking, coughing, sneezing, etc.), creating optimal environments without sources of contamination. The invention makes the most of this aspect, creating artificial salt mines with the desired dimensions and with activity in continuously refreshed aerosols.
