According to the present invention, the bag is filled in the container of the concentrated solution storage tank so as to be fully filled and the concentrated hypochlorous acid aqueous solution is introduced when the concentrated hypochlorous acid aqueous solution is introduced. When the bag is deflated by letting out the air in the bag by the volume of the aqueous solution of chloric acid to deflate the bag, and when the concentrated aqueous solution of concentrated hypochlorous acid is discharged, the ventilation hole is formed by the volume of the derived concentrated hypochlorous acid. By inflowing outside air into the bag body to inflate the bag body, the volume of the air layer in contact with the concentrated aqueous solution of hypochlorous acid can be minimized.

On the other hand, the chlorine gas generated from the concentrated hypochlorous acid aqueous solution is an air layer remaining in the container of the concentrated solution storage layer (the air layer present in the space excluding the concentrated hypochlorous acid aqueous solution and the bag body). However, this reaction does not proceed indefinitely and stops when the concentration of chlorine in the air layer contacting the concentrated aqueous solution of hypochlorous acid reaches a predetermined value. Therefore, by making the volume of the air layer as small as possible, it is possible to reduce the amount of chlorine gas generated from the concentrated aqueous solution of hypochlorous acid and improve safety, and to escape chlorine from the concentrated aqueous solution of hypochlorous acid. Can be prevented.

FIG. 5 shows the relationship between the concentration of chlorine in the air and the pH in equilibrium with a chlorine-containing aqueous solution having a specific concentration at room temperature.
In the figure, a is the case where the chloride ion concentration in the aqueous solution is 1M, b is the case where the chloride ion concentration is 0.1M, c is the case where the chloride ion concentration is 0.01M, and d is the case where The case where the chlorine ion concentration is 0.001M is shown. As described above, the concentration of chlorine in the air that equilibrates with the chlorine-containing aqueous solution becomes higher as the pH of the aqueous solution becomes lower and the chlorine ion concentration in the aqueous solution becomes higher. PH 5 for example
Thus, the concentration of chlorine in the air that equilibrates with the hypochlorous acid aqueous solution containing 0.1 M of chlorine ion is about 600 ppm.

However, as described above, in the present invention, the space in the concentrated solution storage tank 20 excluding the concentrated hypochlorous acid aqueous solution A1 is almost closed by the bag body 28, and Since the volume of the air layer in direct contact with the chlorous acid aqueous solution A1 is extremely small, the chlorine concentration in the air layer becomes an equilibrium concentration due to the generation of a slight amount of chlorine, and further chlorine generation is generated. Is suppressed. As a result, the amount of chlorine gas generated in the concentrated solution storage layer 20 is made extremely small, and even if the chlorine gas leaks for some reason, the concentration will be extremely low when it is released into the atmosphere, so it will be given to the human body. You can eliminate the danger altogether.

The concentrated hypochlorous acid aqueous solution thus stored in the concentrated solution storage layer 20 is introduced into the mixed dilution solution tank 40 through the supply pipe 30. Further, the dilution water is introduced into the mixed dilution solution tank 40 through the dilution water introducing pipe 43, and the concentrated aqueous solution of hypochlorous acid is mixed with water to be diluted to a predetermined concentration. When the concentration of chlorine ions in the aqueous solution is reduced by dilution in this way, the concentration of chlorine in the air that equilibrates with the aqueous solution is significantly reduced, so the amount of chlorine gas generated from the diluted aqueous solution of hypochlorous acid is extremely small, which is dangerous to the human body. Disappears.
