Abrégé

This non-evaporating perspiration promoting apparatus (100) comprises: an air heating means (43) for heating air in a perspiration room (2); a mist generation apparatus (1) for generating mist; a blower (35) for supplying the mist and circulating the air in the perspiration room (2); and a control apparatus (61). The non-evaporating perspiration promoting apparatus (100) comprises a temperature sensor (46a) for measuring the temperature of the perspiration room (2) and a humidity sensor (46b) for measuring the relative humidity of the perspiration room (2). The control apparatus (61) is provided with a dew-point temperature determination means (61c) for determining the dew-point temperature td of the perspiration room (2) from the room temperature and the relative humidity, and a body temperature setting means (61d) for setting the body temperature of a user. The control apparatus controls the air heating means (43) and the mist generation apparatus (1) so that the dew-point temperature td determined by the dew-point temperature determination means (61c) is higher than the body temperature. This configuration can reduce the physical burden on the user and promote pleasant non-evaporating perspiration.

The purpose of the present invention is to maximize the amounts of nanomist and negative ions generated. Provided is a rotator structure for a nanomist-generating device that generates a nanomist by rotating a mortar-shaped rotator (2), wherein for the rotator (2): the lower section is immersed in water in a water storage tank; mist-scattering openings (22) are arranged in the upper section; and, when the inner wall radius at the height of the upper end of the mist-scattering openings (22) is called the upper radius (R1), the height from the height of the waterline (L) at which the rotator is immersed in the water of the water storage tank to the height of the upper end of the mist-scattering openings (22) is called the drawing height (H), and the mean angle that the inner wall forms with a horizontal line within the range of the drawing height (H) is called the mean side surface angle (θ1), the mean side surface angle (θ1) is set to be within (θ)±5% with respect to (θ), which satisfies the basic structural equation -(R1)sin3(θ) + 2(H)cos(θ)sin2(θ) + (H)cos3(θ) = 0.

A reformer which comprises: a reforming vessel (152) having a reforming chamber (152C) formed therein which is an almost annular space to be packed with a reforming catalyst; a heating means disposed so as to be located nearly on the center axis of the reforming vessel (152); and a flow part (153) constituted of two or more double-tube structures (153C) which each comprises a feed tube (153A) which is connected to one axial-direction end of the reforming vessel (152) and supplies a feed gas to one axial-direction end side of the reforming chamber (152C) and a return tube (153B) fitted into the corresponding feed tube (153A) almost coaxially. One end of the return tube pierces the reforming chamber (152C) and is open at the other axial-direction end side of the reforming chamber (152C) so that a reformed gas generated by reforming the feed gas with the reforming catalyst can flow into. This reformer has a simple structure and enables efficient and stable reforming.
