摘要:
A carbonate spring bath system includes a supplying device of a CO.sub.2 gas, a dissolving device of the CO.sub.2 gas into a bath water, and a bathtub. The supplying device of the CO.sub.2 gas comprises a combustor for obtaining a combustion gas including the CO.sub.2 gas, a CO.sub.2 adsorption tower connected to the combustor through a gas feed line and connected to the dissolving device through a supply line, a cooler for cooling the combustion gas prior to being fed to the CO.sub.2 adsorption tower and a heater for heating an adsorbent filled in the CO.sub.2 adsorption tower for desorbing the CO.sub.2 gas therefrom. The adsorbent capable of adsorbing the CO.sub.2 gas from the combustion gas at a relatively low adsorption temperature and of desorbing the CO.sub.2 gas therefrom at a relatively high desorption temperature. As the CO.sub.2 gas in the combustion gas is adsorbed in the CO.sub.2 adsorption tower in accordance with a thermal swing adsorption method, the CO.sub.2 adsorption tower heated at the desorption temperature for desorbing the CO.sub.2 gas therefrom must be cooled prior to adsorbing the CO.sub.2 gas therein again. The supplying device is controlled so as to form a closed loop which is defined by a portion of the gas feed line and a cooling line extending from the CO.sub.2 adsorption tower and terminating in the gas feed line upstream of the CO.sub.2 adsorption tower. The adsorbent is cooled by a residual gas circulating in the closed loop. The residual gas is cooled by the cooler.
