Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a compact non-acidic hypochlorous acid water generator with improved cooling efficiency, will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A compact non-acidic hypochlorous acid water generator 100 with improved cooling efficiency according to an embodiment of the present invention is an apparatus for producing non-acidic hypochlorous acid water by electrolyzing a diluted hydrochloric acid solution to produce non-acidic hypochlorous acid water In, an electrode (not shown) is provided inside the electrolyzer 110 for electrolyzing a diluted hydrochloric acid solution supplied from a hydrochloric acid water supply source (not shown), and a storage space (S2) in which non-acidic hypochlorous acid water is temporarily stored. ) is formed, and the product produced by electrolysis in the electrolyzer 110 (depending on the method of the electrolyzer, most chlorine gas, a trace amount of hydrogen gas, and a trace amount of water or hypochlorous acid) and a raw water supply source (eg, a water pipe, It is configured to include a cooling water tank 120 for temporarily storing non-acidic hypochlorous acid water produced by mixing raw water (eg, tap water supplied from a water pipe) supplied from a water faucet), and generated by electrolysis in the electrolytic cell 110 The non-acidic hypochlorous acid water generated by the mixing of the product and the raw water flows into one side of the storage space S2 and the other side of the storage space S2 (here, the other side is the other side of the one side. However, it is not limited thereto, of course), and the electrolytic cell 110 is provided to be submerged in the cooling water tank 120 , so that the slightly acidic hypochlorous acid in the storage space S2 of the cooling water tank 120 is discharged. It is characterized in that it is cooled by water.

As described above, by providing the electrolyzer 110 to be submerged in the cooling water tank 120 containing the non-acidic hypochlorous acid water made by mixing the product and raw water produced in the electrolyzer 110, it occurs during electrolysis in the electrolyzer 110 heat can be cooled.

That is, by immersing the electrolytic cell 110 in the cooling water tank 120 to cool the heat generated in the electrolytic cell 110, the heat dissipation efficiency is improved. This is because, since both the bottom and circumferential surfaces of the electrolytic cell are submerged, the submerged surface area is wide, and heat is radiated to the entire electrolytic cell at the same time, thereby improving the cooling efficiency.

Raw water for which general tap water is used is affected by the season and ambient temperature, but it maintains about 20 to 26 degrees Celsius, so it is sufficient as a cooling temperature to dissipate the high heat of the electrolyzer. While the temperature of the electrolytic cell is approximately 45 to 50 degrees Celsius, it was confirmed that the temperature of the electrolytic cell after heat dissipation can be lowered to approximately 39 to 40 degrees Celsius according to the cooling method using the cooling water bath according to the present invention, which is the prior art Since the temperature can be lowered by about 5 to 6 degrees Celsius compared to the above, the electrolysis effect can be improved by that much, so that the production yield can be increased.

On the other hand, in order to increase the electrolysis efficiency in the electrolysis cell, it is necessary to dissipate the heat generated during the electrolysis in the electrolytic cell. The heat dissipation (cooling) of the electrolyzer for

And, since the non-acidic hypochlorous acid water flowing into one side of the cooling water tank 120 flows out to the other side of the cooling water tank 120 and is discharged to the outside (eg, an external water collecting tank or sterilization target), the cooling water tank 120 is removed from one side. In the process of flowing to the other side, since the process of mixing the raw water and the product (eg, chlorine gas) once more is performed in the cooling water tank 120 itself, the production yield of non-acidic hypochlorous acid water is higher.

In addition, through the process of flowing out of the cooling water tank 120 as described above, the reaction by mixing the raw water and the product (eg, chlorine gas) is performed once again, so that the mixing is performed uniformly throughout the cooling water tank 120 so that the non-acidic hypochlorous acid water is uniform It has a single pH value and a uniform ppm concentration value, and thus it is possible to produce excellent, non-acidic hypochlorous acid water of high quality (high purity).

On the other hand, the meaning of "the non-acidic hypochlorous acid water is temporarily stored in the storage space S2" described in this specification means that the non-acidic hypochlorous acid introduced into one side of the cooling water tank (the outlet 140a of the mixing pipe 140 below) The chloric acid water is discharged to the other side of the cooling water tank (discharge port 132 below), and as it passes through the cooling water tank at an appropriate speed, the electrolytic cell is cooled, and the non-acidic hypochlorous acid water introduced into the cooling water tank 120 in this way. is discharged after cooling the electrolyzer while staying in the storage space (S2) for an appropriate amount of time (which means staying inside the cooling water tank, not being stagnant at some point (spatial point)), so it is like a cooling water tank It means that it flows out as if staying in the storage space (S2) of
