Abstract: When the water stored in a reservoir 1 and containing chlorine ion and/or bromine ion is supplied to and circulated through an electrolyzer 4 and electrolyzed therein to create hypochlorous acid and/or hypobromous acid so that the water is purified and sterilized, a potential difference measuring unit is interposed between a measuring electrode dipped into the water containing the hypochlorous acid and/or hypobromous acid and a reference electrode dipped into water having a prescribed electric conductivity and containing neither hypochlorous acid nor hypobromous acid to thereby evaluate a measured potential difference as a COD value which is an index of pollution. With this arrangement, a polluted state of water can be promptly and simply evaluated as the COD value.

Abstract: Described is a method and device for servicing the water of a swimming pool 1 by adding a disinfectant. The disinfectant is added by circulating the water through a branched circuit of the pool using a constant flow stirring pump 5. The operation of the pump is determined by the temperature of the water detected by temperature sensor 30 located within the branched circuit. The operating time of the pump is determined according to preset programs of a control box 3 which divide the operating time into time slot units of similar duration spread over several time ranges. The disinfectant addition can be carried out by pebble support 64 or by electrolysis within the branch circuit. Also, if the temperature drops below a minimal freeze risk value or above a maximal value, the pump is continuously operated and a warning is generated.

Abstract: In an electrolytic water producing apparatus, an anode and a cathode in an electrolytic cell are periodically switched to reduce degradation thereof. The concentration of hypochlorous acid formed in the strong acidic liquid is measured through a concentration sensor, and a concentration variation pattern varying in a sawteeth pattern according to the switching of the anode and cathode is taken into a control device. A control pattern inversely corresponding to the sawteeth pattern is calculated by the controlling device. Electrolytic current or voltage to be supplied to the electrodes may be controlled according to the control pattern, or supply quantities of raw water or a chloride solution may be controlled by a flow rate controlling valve and a metering pump. Thus, although the polarities of the electrodes are switched, the strong acidic liquid containing hypochlorous acid with a constant concentration can be obtained.

Abstract: An electrochemical cell unit contains one or a plurality of electrochemical cells which are interconnected for the flow of solutions therethrough. Each electrochemical cell comprises an outer hollow tubular anode electrode and a central core tubular cathode electrode. Mounted coaxially between the outer hollow tubular anode electrode and the central core tubular cathode electrode is a hollow tubular diaphragm. A lower head assembly also includes inlet passageways for bringing solution into the anode chamber and the cathode chamber. An upper head assembly also includes outlet passageways for removing treated solution from the anode chamber and the cathode chamber. At the lower end of the electrochemical cell housing and underneath the lower head assembly, there is provided a collection container which can be in the shape of a box with a centrally depressed area for water accumulation. Located in the interior of this box is a sensor system which transfers information to a controller that moisture is present in the box. The sensor system includes mounted in the interior of the box a pair of parallel sensor electrodes designed to detect the presence of moisture leaking from the bottom of the electrochemical cell. Each sensor electrode is connected to a signal system to alert the user that the electrochemical cell is broken and not functioning.

Abstract: An apparatus for electrolyzing fluids is disclosed. The resulting electrolyzed fluids are particularly suited for treating physiological materials such as whole blood, plasma, or cell isolates in order to reduce the effect of harmful microorganisms. A container holds the fluid and a power supply provides a source of electrical current to an anode and a cathode positioned within the container. The anode and cathode each comprise a cylindrical shape. The cathode is positioned concentrically in relation to the anode. The spacing between the cathode and the anode is not greater than a preferred amount. Moreover, the voltage potential between the cathode and the anode is not greater than a preferred amount. Also described is a system for disinfecting and/or sterilizing health care instruments. The instruments are bathed in the electrolyzed saline solution. If the instrument includes internal conduits the system of the present invention also preferably flows the electrolyzed saline solution through such conduits also to provide both cleaning and sterilization. The electrolyzed saline solution is recirculated from the electrodes to the instrument being sterilized. Embodiments of the invention are particularly suited to sterilizing dental drill handpieces without damage to the handpieces.

Abstract: A halogen generator produces a halogen sanitizing agent to sanitize water in a spa or other water feature. A coaxial wall fitting desirably couples the halogen generator to the water feature. The halogen generator desirably includes a bipolar electrolytic cell in which a center electrode plate rotates between stationary anode and cathode plates. The bipolar electrode includes a plurality of vanes which motivate water flow between the anode and the cathode. The vanes on the rotating electrode also produce a flow of water through the generator. In this manner, the bipolar electrode functions as a impeller to pump water through the halogen generator. The vanes are positioned between the electrode and cathode, and are sufficiently spaced from the cathode to inhibit scale formation on the cathode. The vanes, however, generally do not contact the cathode when rotating. The rotational direction of the electrode relative to the cathode may be reversed periodically and/or the gap spacing between electrode and the cathode may be decreased periodically to enhance removal of scale.

Abstract: The object of the invention is to accomplish surface treatment such as cleaning, etching or after-treatment of parts or semi-processed articles for the manufacture of industrial or medical products without raising the problem of environmental pollution and without damaging or contaminating the treated articles. Water is electrolyzed in a tank which is partitioned by a porous membrane into an anode chamber and a cathode chamber to prepare a fresh anodic water containing H.sup.+ ion in the anode chamber and a fresh cathodic water containing OH.sup.- ion in the cathode chamber. The fresh anodic water and the fresh cathodic water are separately discharged from the electrolysis tank, and selected one of the anodic water and the cathodic water is brought into contact with the object of wet treatment. The efficiency of electrolysis of water can be enhanced by adding a small amount of an electrolysis aid such as carbon dioxide gas or ammonium acetate to water and/or by irradiating water under electrolysis with an electromagnetic wave having an wavelength not longer than 400 nm or not shorter than 3000 nm.

Abstract: An electrolytic cell for generating a mixed oxidant that is rich in ozone is disclosed. The cell disassociates a brine solution to generate ozone and chlorine based oxidants. The improved cell design allows the ratio of ozone to the other oxidants to be optimized, thereby providing a more efficient sterilization solution. The ozone production is adjusted by adjusting the residence time of the brine solution in the cell and the orientation of the cell.
