PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus which can conveniently and efficiently dissolve gaseous carbon dioxide in water and can efficiently discharge produced soda water.SOLUTION: An apparatus for producing the soda water is provided with: a sealed container for accommodating water a gaseous carbon dioxide cylinder in which the gaseous carbon dioxide is charged at high pressure and which slowly supplies the carbon dioxide into the sealed container by using an air stone so as to have pressure higher than atmospheric pressure a gaseous carbon dioxide transporting pipe for connecting the gaseous carbon dioxide cylinder with the sealed container a flow rate regulating valve which regulates the flow rate of the gaseous carbon dioxide to be supplied into the sealed container attached to the gaseous carbon dioxide transporting pipe a first opening/closing valve for supplying/stopping gaseous carbon dioxide from the gaseous carbon dioxide cylinder and a discharge means for taking out the soda water from the sealed container. When producing soda water, the first opening/closing valve is opened, the discharge means is closed and gaseous carbon dioxide is slowly made to have pressure higher than atmospheric pressure and thereby gaseous carbon dioxide is dissolved in water. When produced soda water is discharged, the first opening/closing valve is closed, and the discharge means is opened.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】 簡便かつ効率的に水に炭酸ガスを溶解させ、製造した炭酸水を効率よく排出することができる装置を提供する。【解決手段】 炭酸水を製造するための製造装置であって、水を収容する密閉容器と、炭酸ガスが高圧で封入され、炭酸ガスを密閉容器にエアーストーンを使用してゆっくりと大気圧より高い圧力となるように供給するための炭酸ガスボンベと、炭酸ガスボンベと密閉容器を接続するための炭酸ガス輸送管と、炭酸ガス輸送管に取り付けられた密閉容器内に供給する炭酸ガスの流量を調整するための流量調整用バルブと、炭酸ガスボンベからの炭酸ガスの供給及び停止を行うための第1の開閉バルブと、炭酸水を密閉容器内から取り出すための排出手段を備え、炭酸水の製造時には、第1の開閉バルブを開き、排出手段を閉じ、炭酸ガスをゆっくりと大気圧より高い圧力にすることで水に炭酸ガスを溶解させ、製造した炭酸水の排出時には、第1の開閉バルブを閉じ、排出手段を開くことを特徴とする。【選択図】図1
