Claim 3:
4. The air separation device according to claim 3, further comprising a regeneration processing time determining unit which:
calculates an adsorbed moisture total weight and an adsorbed carbon dioxide total weight that have been adsorbed, from the quantity of moisture, the quantity of carbon dioxide, and the adsorption processing time;
calculates a moisture desorption heat quantity for desorbing the adsorbed moisture total weight of moisture from the adsorbent, and a carbon dioxide desorption heat quantity for desorbing the adsorbed carbon dioxide total weight of carbon dioxide from the adsorbent;
calculates a total desorption heat quantity by adding the moisture desorption heat quantity and the carbon dioxide desorption heat quantity; and
calculates a regeneration processing time by dividing the total desorption heat quantity by an amount of heat in heated waste gas that has been heated by a heating unit.
