An electrolyzed water generating devicehas an electrolysis chamber, a first feeding bodyand a second feeding bodyto which a DC voltage is applied, a diaphragmdisposed between the first feeding bodyand the second feeding bodyto divide the electrolysis chamberinto a first-polar chamberand a second-polar chamber, a control unitfor switching a polarity of the first feeding bodyto an anode or a cathode and a polarity of the second feeding bodyto a cathode or an anode, a flow rate sensordetecting an amount of flowing water into the electrolysis chamberon the cathode side per unit time, and a current detecting meansdetecting a DC current supplied to the first feeding bodyand the second feeding body. The surfaces of the first feeding bodyand the second feeding bodyare formed of a hydrogen storage metal. The control unitcalculates a concentration of hydrogen storage metal colloid based on the DC current and an integrated value of the amount of flowing water after switching the polarities.

Electrolyzed water generating device and electrolyzed water generating method

An electrolyzed water generating apparatusincludes: an electrolysis tank D containing a first electrode chamber Da having a cathode, a second electrode chamber Db having anode, and a separating membrane Sp separating the first electrode chamber Da and the second electrode chamber Db from each other; a first water inlet pathsupplying the first electrode chamber Da with raw water from outside; a first water outlet pathcarrying to outside hydrogen-containing electrolyzed water generated by electrolysis in the first electrode chamber Da; and a charge amount adjusterfor adjusting, during the electrolysis, an amount of electrical charge to be provided to the hydrogen-containing electrolyzed water. The charge amount adjusteradjusts the amount of electrical charge per unit quantity of the generated hydrogen-containing electrolyzed water through control of an electrolytic current or an electrolytic voltage.

Method of using an agricultural electrolyzed water-generating apparatus for generation of agricultural electrolyzed water useful for plant growth

The electrolyzed water-generating apparatusincludes: a first electrode chamber Da; a first water inlet pathconnected to the first electrode chamber Da to supply the first electrode chamber Da with raw water from outside; a first water outlet pathconnected to the first electrode chamber Da, and dispensing out of the first electrode chamber Da electrolyzed hydrogen water generated by electrolysis in the first electrode chamber Da; and a charge amount adjusterconnected to the electrolysis tank D to adjust an amount of electrical charge to be provided to the electrolyzed hydrogen water. The charge amount adjusteradjusts, based on a flow rate of the raw water, the amount of the electrical charge per unit quantity of the generated electrolyzed hydrogen water through control of an electrolytic current or an electrolytic voltage, so that the adjusted amount of the electrical charge is constant.
