As a measure for the environment, it is necessary to separate and remove the organic compound from the gas containing the organic compound, and then exhaust the gas to the outside of the system. For example, as a method for separating and removing an organic compound, a gas containing the organic compound generated during the production of a non-woven fabric is supplied to a heat exchanger, and the gas is cooled by the heat exchanger to solidify or liquefy the organic compound. There is a method of separating and removing the compound.

A second heat exchanger for cooling the discharged gas and an exhaust unit for exhausting the gas discharged from the second heat exchanger to the outside of the system are provided.
[0014]
When a polymer as a non-woven fabric raw material is melt-kneaded, a part of the non-woven fabric raw material may be decomposed, or the additive added at the time of melt-kneading may be decomposed or volatilized to generate a gas containing an organic compound. As a measure for the environment, it is necessary to separate and remove the organic compound from the gas containing the organic compound, and then exhaust the gas to the outside of the system. For example, as a method for separating and removing an organic compound, a gas containing the organic compound generated during the production of a non-woven fabric is supplied to a heat exchanger, and the gas is cooled by the heat exchanger to solidify or liquefy the organic compound. There is a method of separating and removing the compound.

However, when the organic compound in the gas is solidified or liquefied and separated and removed using a heat exchanger, the organic compound solidified by cooling adheres to the inside of the heat exchanger, for example, fins, and the heat exchanger is clogged. There is a risk. In order to prevent the heat exchanger from being clogged due to the heat exchange temperature dropping too low, it is necessary to reduce the amount of refrigerant such as cooling water to the heat exchanger to operate the heat exchanger.
