Research on the Workshop Structures of Aluminum Potroom on High Temperature Condition

Abstract:

This paper aims to eliminate the danger of high temperature in the aluminum potroom by natural ventilation. According to the history of aluminum potroom, two different workshop structures are proposed to improve the natural ventilation effect. The first structure is called the inner-partition potroom, which contains blind grilles located at certain distance from the two sides of electrolytic cell. The second structure, called the large-opening potroom, directly set up a large opening on the outer wall of aluminum potroom. Two structures are compared with the aid of CFD simulation, and the physical model is established based on the field measurement. The velocity and temperature fields are simulated under three different outdoor conditions. By the comparative analysis of temperatures on the electrolytic cell and operating area, this paper indicates the large-opening potroom has better performance on high temperature condition.
