BREATHING APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING THE BODILY APPEARANCE

摘要

The invention relates a breathing apparatus and to a method for providing a cooled breathing gas to a person, in particular to an apparatus and a method for improving the bodily appearance of a person. The breathing apparatus provides a breathing gas comprising an additive in the form of droplets or frozen particles. The breathing apparatus comprises a gas conditioning conduit, gas propulsion means for generating a flow of breathing gas via the gas conditioning conduit, additive injection means for injecting the additive, preferably water droplets or ice particles, into the gas conditioning conduit. Cooling means are provided for cooling the breathing gas and the additive while being transported via the gas conditioning conduit, and a mask is provided for providing the breathing gas to the breathing ducts of a person, preferably via the nose. The breathing apparatus further comprises a control system for controlling the breathing apparatus such that the heat transfer from the body of the person breathing the breathing gas to the breathing gas and additive is high enough to stimulate the metabolism of a person to burn more energy, and is low enough to prevent the body from getting hypothermic.
