[0003] A conventional deionized water producing apparatus comprises a cation exchange membrane or an anion exchange membrane between a chamber frame forming a desalting chamber and a chamber frame forming a concentrating chamber made of a material such as polypropylene. When a membrane (hereinafter, referred to as an ion exchange membrane) is mounted, an ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer (normally, an ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer) is usually provided between the chamber frame and the ion exchange membrane in order to increase the adhesion between the chamber frame and the ion exchange membrane. A sheet packing made of a material such as EPDM is attached. These are alternately and repeatedly arranged to form a filter press-type clamping die together with the pole chambers disposed at both ends, and a predetermined pressure (0.5 to 3 MPa as a clamping portion pressure) is applied using a bolt and nut.
a). in this case,
The adhesion between the chamber frame and the ion exchange membrane is usually maintained by the deformation stress of the sheet packing.

In this type of deionized water production apparatus, when the operation is started and the temperature rises, the sheet packing between the chamber frames and the chamber frames is thermally affected, and the tightening pressure between the chamber frames (hereinafter referred to as a seal) is obtained. Pressure), the sealing property between the chamber frame and the ion exchange membrane is deteriorated, and a liquid leak to the outside or a liquid leak between the internal ducts occurs, thereby deteriorating the quality of deionized water. Therefore, when a liquid leak occurs, the operation must be stopped and tightened again. If the liquid leak cannot be eliminated by retightening, it is determined that the life has expired, and it is necessary to replace the chamber frame, sheet packing, and the like.

[0005] The amount of liquid leakage is related to the sealing pressure, and the higher the sealing pressure, the lower the amount of liquid leakage. Initially, even if the sheet packing is tightened at a pressure that does not cause liquid leakage, the sheet packing is deformed due to the creep characteristic of the sheet packing material with the elapse of operation time, and the sealing pressure gradually decreases. In particular, at a high temperature (50 ° C. or higher), the creep characteristics are further increased, the sealing pressure is remarkably reduced, and thermal deformation of the material is applied, so that the sealing property is deteriorated and liquid leakage occurs.
