In addition, generate sour water and basic ion water by carry out the electricity decomposition at electrolyzer 5 as described above, but be basic ion water for what drink specially,, otherwise go out of use unless sour water is used as other special purposes.
In addition, in the present embodiment, positive plate 54, negative plate 55 that valve 9, recycle pump 8 and electrolyzer 5 are adjusted in supply pump 43, pressure transmitter 7, draining are connected with control device 6 via wiring H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, by these control device 6 controls.In addition, control device 6 is connected with external power source (not shown) via wiring H6.
At this, in the present embodiment, be provided with the water quality control member of the water quality of control treating water in the electrolytic water generating device 1.
Particularly, possess the conductivity measurement member that the electroconductibility for the treatment of water is measured,, make the work of water quality control member and control the water quality for the treatment of water based on the electroconductibility of the treating water of measuring.
In the present embodiment, constitute the electroconductibility of measuring treating water by the electrode (positive plate 54 and negative plate 55) that in electrolyzer 5, is provided with.
In addition, in the present embodiment,, has the supply pump that member is adjusted in the output as supply pump that flow (output) that the pressure or the supply pump 43 of supply pump 43 are supplied with adjusts as the water quality control member.
And then in the present embodiment, as the water quality control member, possess: the recycle pump (circular flow adjustment member) 8 of the circular flow of valve (water displacement adjustment member) 9 and adjustment condensed water is adjusted in the draining of adjusting the water displacement of condensed water.
The water quality that possesses electrolytic water generating device 1 such control treating water as described below of this structure.
At first, the electroconductibility that at the conductivity measurement member is the measured treating water of electrode (positive plate 54 and negative plate 55) is than under the high situation of prescribed value (for example about 800 μ S/cm), and supply pump output is adjusted member and carried out work in the mode of the rotating speed that improves supply pump 43.Thus, by improving the rotating speed of supply pump 43, make the flow velocity of the water that supply pump 43 is supplied with or the supply pressure of pump rise.As a result, the quantitative change of the condensed water that nanofilter 41 is generated is many, and the ionic amount that sees through the NF film reduces, and the electroconductibility for the treatment of water reduces.
And, adjust electroconductibility that member makes treating water by the output of above-mentioned supply pump and reduce not enough fully under the situation only relying on, make water displacement adjust member work.Particularly, increase the aperture that valve 9 is adjusted in draining, increase the drainage rate (water displacement is with respect to the ratio of circulation) of condensed water, thereby reduce the ionic amount that sees through the NF film, reduce the electroconductibility for the treatment of water.
At this moment, preferably control the rotating speed of supply pump 43 not reduce the mode that nanofilter 41 is supplied with the supply pressure of water.
And then, under sufficient not enough situation, make circular flow adjust member work by above-mentioned control.Particularly, increase the drainage rate of the sign of condensed water by increasing the flow velocity that carries out the condensed water of circulation by recycle pump 8, thereby reduce the ionic amount that sees through the NF film, reduce the electroconductibility for the treatment of water.
In addition, the electroconductibility of the measured treating water of electrode (positive plate 54 and negative plate 55) than the low situation of prescribed value (for example about 20 μ S/cm) under, carry out opposite action respectively.Preferably, when carrying out this a series of actions, control by control device 6, excessive or too small to avoid pressure, or avoid flow too much or very few.
At this, under the situation of the electroconductibility (water quality) of controlling treating water by the combination of a plurality of water quality control members, the value that might produce the electroconductibility for the treatment of water because of the interference of each control member changes such beating (chattering) phenomenon upper and lower, back and forth.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the water quality that is provided with in electrolytic water generating device 1 in the scope that water quality with treating water is adjusted to regulation is adjusted member.Particularly, certain time-delay (time lag) is set in the control of each water quality control member,, can be suppressed dancing thus and produce scope capping value or the lower value that each water quality control member can be controlled.
In addition, in the present embodiment, be controlled to the electricity that when the electroconductibility for the treatment of water is converged in the scope (for example about 20~800 μ S/cm) of regulation, just carries out treating water and decompose.In addition, be controlled in the electricity for the treatment of water decomposes, depart under the situation of prescribed value (for example about 20~800 μ S/cm) at once the electricity of abort process water decomposes in the electroconductibility for the treatment of water.
Thus,, the electroconductibility for the treatment of water can be controlled at the scope of regulation in electrolytic water generating device 1, can control the pH value of sour water and basic ion water more accurately by the water quality control member of the water quality of controlling treating water is set.
As above-mentioned illustrated, according to present embodiment, in electrolytic water generating device 1, be provided with the water quality control member of water quality of control treating water.Therefore, the electroconductibility for the treatment of water can be controlled within the limits prescribed.That is, can make the ionic weight that contains in the treating water that carries out the electricity decomposition be almost the constant amount, the ionic weight that contains in electrolyzer (electrolysis portion) 5 sour waters that generated and the basic ion water is almost the constant amount.As a result, can make the pH value of sour water and basic ion water become almost constant state.That is,, can control the pH value of sour water and basic ion water (brine electrolysis) more accurately according to present embodiment.At this moment, by suitably setting the electroconductibility for the treatment of water, can generate the sour water and the basic ion water (brine electrolysis) of the pH value of expectation.
In addition, can not rely on the electroconductibility of former water and make the electroconductibility for the treatment of water become the value of expectation, therefore, under the situation that is installed in different regions or place, it is different with the pH value of basic ion water (brine electrolysis) to suppress the sour water that generated.
In addition, in the present embodiment,, used supply pump output to adjust member, water displacement and adjusted member and circular flow and adjust certain member at least among the member as the water quality control member.Therefore, can easily control the water quality for the treatment of water.
And then, owing to need not drop in addition medicine etc., so do not need to be provided with the mechanism of medicine input usefulness in order to regulate pH value, simplification that can implementation structure, and can realize the reduction of cost.
In addition, electrode (positive plate 54 and the negative plate 55) double as that is arranged in the electrolyzer 5 is measured the conductivity measurement member of the electroconductibility for the treatment of water, so puts the simplification that also can realize the structure of electrolytic water generating device 1 from this.
In addition, according to present embodiment, the water quality that is provided with in electrolytic water generating device 1 in the scope that water quality with treating water is adjusted to regulation is adjusted member.Therefore, in water quality when control of carrying out treating water, the value that can suppress to produce the electroconductibility for the treatment of water up and down reciprocatingly changes such jumping phenomena.
At this moment, the control that each water quality control member (member is adjusted in supply pump output, water displacement adjusts member and circular flow is adjusted member) is carried out is provided with certain time-delay, perhaps scope capping value or the lower value that can control each water quality control member.Therefore, can suppress each water quality control member and move superfluously, can reduce the load of electrolytic water generating device 1, and longevityization that can implement device.
