Abstract

Dilute chemical solution production device ( 1 ) has a plunger pump and a chemical solution supply pipe ( 3 ) that supply a chemical solution S from a chemical solution reservoir. The end of the chemical solution supply pipe ( 3 ) serves as an injection point 11 for the chemical solution (S). The chemical solution supply pipe ( 3 ) is inserted to an approximately central position in the radial direction of an ultrapure water passage ( 12 ), which is a first pipe, via a bore-through joint ( 13 ). Conductivity meter ( 14 ) as a conductivity measuring meter is provided on the downstream side of the bore-through joint ( 13 ), which serves as the injection point ( 11 ), and is connected to a controller so that the plunger pump ( 4 ) can be controlled in accordance with the measured value of the conductivity meter ( 14 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A dilute chemical solution production device that produces a dilute chemical solution of a second liquid by adding the second liquid to a first liquid, the dilute chemical solution production device comprising:
a first pipe that flows the first liquid;
an undiluted solution tank that stores the second liquid;
a second pipe that connects the undiluted solution tank and the first pipe;
a pump that adds the second liquid into the first pipe through the second pipe;
a conductivity measuring meter provided on a downstream side of a connection site between the first pipe and the second pipe with respect to a flow direction of the first liquid; and
a controller that controls the pump based on a measured value of the conductivity measuring meter,
wherein the first pipe is provided with a first bent portion and a second bent portion, the first bent portion is disposed in a vicinity of the connection site with the second pipe, and the second bent portion is disposed between the first bent portion and the conductivity meter, and
a distance between the first bent portion and the second bent portion is 20 to 50 cm.

2. The dilute chemical solution production device according to claim 1 , wherein a tip of the second pipe is connected in a state of being inserted to an approximately central position with respect to an inner diameter of the first pipe.

3. The dilute chemical solution production device according to claim 2 , wherein a distance between the connection site of the second pipe in the first pipe and the conductivity measuring meter is 30 to 70 cm.

4. The dilute chemical solution production device according to claim 2 , wherein the first liquid is ultrapure water and the second liquid contains ammonia.

5. The dilute chemical solution production device according to claim 1 , wherein a distance between the connection site of the second pipe in the first pipe and the conductivity measuring meter is 30 to 70 cm.

6. The dilute chemical solution production device according to claim 5 , wherein the first liquid is ultrapure water and the second liquid contains ammonia.

7. The dilute chemical solution production device according to claim 1 , wherein the first liquid is ultrapure water and the second liquid contains ammonia.
