SUAL 300 KA PRE-BAKED CELLS

摘要

In May 2005, the Test Site comprising six 300 KA (design amperage) pre-baked cells was put into operation at the Ural Aluminium Smelter. All calculations were made and the Test Cell Project was developed by "SibVAMI" JSC, Irkutsk. The Site consists of the Reduction Pot Room, Dry Scrubber Unit, and booster Silicon Rectifier (SR). Power for the Test Site is supplied from two sources: the existing Pot Line (165 KA) and the boosting SR (135 KA). The cell shows highly stable behavior, MHD-noise in the cell is under 15-20 mV. Test cell cathode was carried out using gas-flame for 72 hours. performance statistics show that a competitive up-to-date cell was developed. These cells are intended for operation at 330 - 350 KA.
