Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0387687A1] Process and apparatus for regulating the interpolar distance to compensate for anode consumption in electrolysis cells. <??>As a result of the large differences in the position of the anode beam in the upper and lower position, the current path and the power loss become too large during lowering or raising and substantial variations in the magnetic field arise. The lowering of the anode necessary to remove the anode effect results in a rise in the bath level which may bring about flooding of the carbon anodes and leakage of the melt. <??>To avoid these disadvantages, at least one further anode beam (2) is movably arranged parallel to, and at a variable distance from, the first anode beam (1), the anode rods (3) being attached either to the first or the second anode beam and the anode beams (1, 2) each being connected to a drive running in the opposite direction. This makes it possible to adjust the individual anodes precisely to the to anode consumption at a particular time. <??>Regulation of the interpolar distance in electrolysis cells, in particular those used for aluminium melt electrolysis.
