Abstract: The method of this invention for producing electrolyzed water containing ozone employs an apparatus for producing electrolyzed water from a liquid. The apparatus has two plate electrodes facing each other, a D.C. power source for applying a D.C. voltage across the electrodes and a control circuit for changing a polarity of the electrodes alternately. The method includes the step of producing electrolyzed water by changing the polarity, while a liquid is caused to flow in a flow passage between the electrodes, and the polarity is changed at an interval of time T as defined by formula (10): 0.5≦T≦(1/3)×(L/V)  (10) wherein; V: Velocity of flow of the liquid in the flow passage (cm/sec.), and L: Length of the electrodes as measured in the direction of flow of the liquid (cm).

Abstract: An apparatus for electrolyzing water has an electrolytic cell, a pipe having nozzles for admitting water into the cell, at least one anode plate disposed in the cell along a vertical plane, at least one cathode plate disposed in the cell substantially in parallel to the anode plate and facing it, and a pipe for letting out electrolyzed water from the cell. The cathode plate has many through holes. The anode and cathode plates have therebetween a small distance defining a narrow passage therebetween. Water issuing from the nozzles flows into the passage through the holes of the cathode plate.
