Study on the Thermal Field Distribution of Steel Claws for Anode in Aluminium Electrolysis Cell

Article Preview

Abstract:

The electricity consuming of aluminium electrolysis cell is affected by the voltage drop of anode steel claws during the aluminium electrolysis course. The resistivity of anode steel claws is affected by the temperature. In the present study, the thermal field distribution of anode steel claws was studied by finite element analysis. The results show that the thermal energy of anode steel claws come from anode carbon blocks and environment. The temperature of steel claws less than 1/3 height is affected by anode carbon blocks, and the other part is affected by surrounding temperature. According the results, the principle of the new anode steel claw design is proposed.
