CONTINUOUS ELECTROLYTIC WATER ADJUSTING APPARATUS PROVIDED WITH STERILIZED WATER GENERATING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR STERILIZATION OF THIS ELECTROLYTIC WATER ADJUSTING APPARATUS

摘要

PURPOSE: To make it possible to sterilize efficiently an electrolytic tank and pipelines with a sterilization water contg. much hypochlorous acid with strong sterilization power by providing a sterilized water generating device forming hypochlorous acid in water by means of electrolysis in the water supply pipeline, in a continuous electrolytic water adjusting apparatus. ;CONSTITUTION: When an electric voltage is applied to an anode 11 and a cathode 10 of an electrolytically sterilized water generating device 8 provided in a water supply pipeline 2 of a continuous electrolytic water adjusting apparatus 1, fed original water is electrolyzed by the electrolytically sterilized water generating device 8. In this case, chlorine Cl₂ is generated on the anode 11 side of the sterilized water generating device 8 and as pH of the water in the sterilized water generating device 8 becomes 7 or smaller, the chlorine Cl₂ generated by electrolysis is reacted with water to form hypochlorous acid in water. As the residual chlorine in water exhibits the strongest sterilization power when it has a form of hypochlorous acid, the electrolytic tank 3 and pipelines 4 and 5 are sterilized with this hypochlorous acid-contg. sterilization water.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1994,JPO&Japio
