APPARATUS FOR SUPPLYING ELECTROLYTIC SOLUTION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To miniaturize an apparatus for supplying an electrolytic solution and facilitate the maintenance of the apparatus for supplying the electrolytic solution. SOLUTION: The apparatus for supplying the electrolytic solution is composed of: a saturated solution tank 1 for producing a saturated solution of an electrolyte; a diluted solution tank 9 for storing a diluted solution 10 obtained by diluting the saturated solution 8 in the saturated solution tank 1; a level sensor 11 for detecting the liquid level of the diluted solution tank 9; a pump 12 for sending the saturated solution 8 in the saturated solution tank 1 to the diluted solution tank 9 at a constant flow rate; a valve 14 for sending the water to be used for diluting the saturated solution 8 to the diluted solution tank 9 at a constant flow rate; and a control part 16 for controlling the actuation of the pump 12 and the valve 14 on the basis of a signal from the level sensor 11. The saturated solution 8 of the electrolyte is diluted, which is then supplied to an electrolytic cell 20. Since the saturated solution 8 is diluted, which is then supplied to the electrolytic cell 20, the volume of the saturated solution tank 1 can be made small and the clogging of a pipe caused by the crystallization of the electrolyte can be decreased.
