METHOD OF CREATING ARTIFICIAL HEALTH-IMPROVING CLIMATE OF DEAD SEA AND CLIMATIC CHAMBER FOR ITS REALISATION Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A61G10/02 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method of creating the artificial health-improving climate of the Dead Sea consists in generating the air flows inside the closed health-improving area, irradiation of the area, through the air, with the light flow, which is spectrally close to the sun light, and irrigation of patient's body with the salt solution from the Dead Sea; at this, the air in the area is 35°C to 45°C and the relative air humidity is 18% to 43%, which is achieved by the use of ascending and descending twisted air counterflows generated by air heating of the floor-level part of climatic chamber that is installed within the health-improving area, and by flowing the heated air around the profile surfaces of the ceiling part of the climatic chamber; the health-improving area is irradiated by the light flow with spectral composition close to that of the morning sun light, the air is saturated with air-ions of the Dead Sea salts with concentration 11 to 21 thousand ion couples per 1 cm³ by sublimating salts from the perforated metallised packs inside the heated sand at the floor-level part of the climatic chamber, and with the ether oils, produced by endemic plants; besides, the irrigation of patient's body is performed with the Dead Sea salt solution with concentration of 1 : 10 of its natural concentration and/or the mud applications containing the Dead Sea components, are used. The climatic chamber contains the floor, ceiling that is installed above the floor centre, and the control unit; the reflectors with the booster light lamps are installed at the ceiling part, while the floor has the few heaters connected to each other and the centrally installed aromatiser. Each heater consists of a few sections, each of them is made as a heating box with thermoisolation installed at the base, and containing a tray with sand and reflector with the heating components assembled on it. The perforated metallised packs with the Dead Sea salt and the temperature sensor are installed inside the sand; the ceiling shape is made so as to enable generating of the twisted air counterflows of heated air from the floor heaters.

EFFECT: generated microclimate corresponds to natural factors of Dead Sea.
