PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cartridge for sustained release of salt, increasing the chloride ion concentration in raw water in a system wherein hypochlorous acid is produced by electrolyzing water in an electrolysis unit, provided that the chloride ion concentration is increased when the raw water supplied to the electrolysis unit has low chloride ion concentration, by diffusing chloride ions from the cartridge housing NaCl crystals, and to provide an electrolytic water generator or an electrolytic water atomizer equipped with the cartridge.SOLUTION: The cartridge for sustained release of salt includes a housing part 100A formed therein for housing crystals 103 of an inorganic salt chemically combined with Cl-, such as NaCl, and is equipped with an aperture 101 at top thereof and a floating valve member 102 that descends to open the aperture 101 in air and ascends to close the aperture 101 in water. When the aperture 101 is closed by the floating valve member 102, a gap passage is formed around the floating valve member 102, thereby enabling diffusion of ions such as chloride ions (Cl-) from the aperture 101, provided that the ions are derived from an aqueous solution wherein the NaCl crystals 103 are dissolved.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】電解部によって水を電気分解して次亜塩素酸を生成するシステムにおいて、塩化物イオン濃度が低い原水が電解部へ供給される状況の場合、結晶NaClを収容した塩徐放用カートリッジから塩化物イオンを拡散して、原水の塩化物イオン濃度を上昇させる塩徐放用カートリッジの提供、及びこの塩徐放用カートリッジを備えた電解水生成装置または電解水噴霧器を提供する。【解決手段】内部にNaCl等のCl-が化合した無機塩の結晶103の収容部100Aを形成し上部に開口101を備え、空気中では開口101を開いた状態に下降し水中では開口101を閉じる状態に上昇する浮動開閉弁部材102を備え、開口101が浮動開閉弁部材102によって閉じた状態で、浮動開閉弁部材102の周囲には開口101からNaCl結晶103の溶けた水溶液の塩化物イオン(Cl-)等のイオンが拡散する隙間通路が形成されることを特徴とする塩徐放用カートリッジ。【選択図】図1
