Definitions
- a method and- a device in connection with handling covers in a superstructure in an electrolytic cell .
- the present invention concerns a method and a device for enclosing an electrolytic cell of the Hall-Heroult type for the production of aluminium, whereby process gases developed during the electrolysis process are prevented from flowing out into the cell's ambient air and maintenance on the cell is not prevented unnecessarily. Covering the superstructure of electrolytic cells of the Hall-Heroult type to collect and remove process gases in a controlled manner is a prior art process.
- Fig. 1 shows a section of a superstructure of an electrolytic cell seen from the side.
- Fig. 2 shows a partial section of the superstructure shown in Fig. 1 , seen from the end.
- Fig. 3 shows how the covers are designed, positioned and removed for double anode changes in a partial section B-B of a superstructure (seen from above).
- Rg. 4 shows how the covers are designed, positioned and removed for single anode changes in a partial section B-B of a superstructure (seen from above).
- Fig. 1 shows a section of a superstructure 1 in which several anode blocks 2 are suspended by means of an anode suspender 3. The anode suspender is fixed with a clamp 4 to an anode beam 5 in conventional manner. In this case, some of the covers have been removed, while covers 6, 7 and 8 are mounted on the superstructure.
- Fig. 2 shows a partial section of the superstructure shown in Fig. 1 , seen from the end. An anode block 2 is suspended from an anode suspender 3 and a cover 6 rests against a frame structure in the superstructure.
- one set of covers on each side of the electrolytic cell consists of top covers 10, 12, 14, 20, 22 and 24 and bottom covers 11 , 13, 19, 21 , 23 and 25 with equal or different widths that overlap each other, thus creating a tight connection between the covers when they are positioned on the cell. At the same time, this overlapping is such that the seal is maintained even if the covers are pushed together or pulled apart within a given length.
- the covers next to the corner covers are always top covers.
- the overlapping is designed so that the covers can be pushed together manually or using a cover gripper mounted on the crane in order to achieve a better position against the covers still in position on the cell when the covers removed are to be put back into position.
- the width of the overlap and nominal clearance A (see Fig. 4) between the covers determine how far the covers may be pushed together without losing the sealing function.
- the handling of the cover(s) stated may be performed with the assistance of a positioning system.
- a positioning system may be based on distance measurement using a laser or similar between at least one point on the manipulator arm and one or more reference points that are preferably mounted on the cell.
- Such systems belong to the prior art and will, therefore, not be described in further detail here.
