BUS ARRANGEMENT OF ELECTROLYZER FOR PRODUCTION OF ALUMINUM Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: metallurgy. SUBSTANCE: bus arrangement of electrolyzer in its longitudinal location in body includes assembled buses connected with cathode rods installed along sides of electrolyzer and separated into sections, and cathode buses connected with uprights of the next electrolyzer. Besides, sections of assembled buses and cathode buses have vertical branches and intermediate buses are installed under bottom of electrolyzer. Each intermediate bus is connected with branch of section of one side and branch of cathode section of opposite side. In this case, section of one side of electrolyzer has branches located on areas nearest to next electrolyzer, and section of the opposite side has branches located on distant areas. EFFECT: higher productivity of electrolyzer due to attenuation of negative effect of magnetic field. 1 dwg
