The gas intended for therapy such as nitrogen, oxygen, noble gas, hydrocarbon mixture or the like is stored in storage tanks (1, 2). Each gas is fed to a mixing chamber (4) by means of a line (81, 82) with volume flow controller (76, 77), the outlet of which is provided with at least one storage tank (3) for the treatment atmosphere and via a regulated after-heating (7, 8, 9) each treatment booth (10, 11, 12) is connected. For local treatment, the liquid gas drawn off is tempered by adjusting the cooling medium acting on the heat exchanger so that the gas stream strikes the body surface to be treated in a homogeneous gas phase. For the whole body treatment, a treatment atmosphere is mixed in a ratio of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen that corresponds approximately to the composition of the normal air and then fed to the treatment cabin (10, 11, 12) in a volume flow-controlled manner. |
