BUS ARRANGEMENT SYSTEM OF ELECTROLYZER Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: aluminum production. SUBSTANCE: bus arrangement system of electrolyzer feeds direct current from ends of cathode current-carrying iron rod of longitudinal cell of electrolyzer through current-carrying buses 22 to ends of cross-pieces of following cell. Part of ends of cathode current-carrying iron rods on each longitudinal side of cell (10_n) is integrated into one branching current-carrying bus A or B. These branching buses pass from longitudinal sides of following cell (10_n+1) transverse to its longitudinal axis x beneath cell and converge under cell into collecting current-carrying bus C and this collecting current-carrying bus passes beneath cell towards end of cross-piece 28 located below along direction of flow of current. Such T-shaped arrangement of both branching current-carrying buses A and B and of collecting current-carrying bus C provides for optimal compensation of electromagnetic field of forces and results in high stability of cell of electrolyzer. EFFECT: high stability of cell of electrolyzer. 3 cl, 2 dwg
