Definitions
- Amalgam process is heavily burdened by labor costs and energy g y p g reisstei chan g es and not least by high requirements of environmental protection and should therefore be further optimized.
- DSA anodes in conjunction with the monitoring and control device described below can be regarded as an ideal combination.
- the monitoring and control device consciously dispenses with fully automatic monitoring and control carried out by a central computer.
- the monitoring and control system is intended to enable the cell personnel to operate the electrolysis cells with the lowest possible cell voltage with a high current yield, low damage rate at DSA anodes and without a great deal of work.
- DSA dimensionally stable anodes
- the monitoring and control device is housed in an insulating material housing and is used to monitor and control a single electrolysis cell.
- the electronics are housed in the upper part of the housing.
- the housing is closed by a transparent cover.
- the signal and control elements are located in the lower part of the cover.
- input plug-in cards are accommodated in the plug-in card slots.
- Each plug-in card has space for two input channels, which are potentially separated from the mains as well as from the outputs.
- a highly reliable input amplifier with low drift values amplifies the input signal from the supply rails in the order of 5 - 6 mV to a thousand times the value. This voltage is converted into a proportional frequency via an analog-digital conversion, which is fed to a digital-analog converter via an optocoupler.
- the overall ratio is 1: 1. This measure ensures the necessary electrical isolation between the input circuits and the processing circuit.
- Each input plug-in card has two power supplies, so that each input channel is supplied independently and electrically separately from the other. This is to be understood as a precautionary measure, because all measuring points within a cell cannot have more than 4 - 5 V voltage difference.
- the choice of an optocoupler as a transmission element avoids the magnetic influence that can be influenced by external fields, as occurs in electrolysis systems.
- the AC voltage coupling has the advantage that the optocoupler can be easily monitored. Even in the event that the optocoupler continuously switches through or interrupts, this fault is immediately displayed on the plug-in card by zero voltage monitoring.
- Each input plug-in card has a defelct display for each channel.
- All outputs are added in a further plug-in card and averaged so that the output signal corresponds to the arithmetic mean of the input signals.
- This mean value amplifier can be set to the number of outputs using a switch on the plug-in card.
- the corresponding input signals from the supply rails are compared with the mean value according to the number of group adjustment units above the electrolysis cell, and the result is fed to an evaluation circuit.
- the evaluation circuit compares the individual value with the mean value. If an adjustable percentage tolerance limit above the mean value is exceeded, the device controls the motors of the respective group adjustment unit. The motors raise the anode adjustment device by an adjustable distance. This process is repeated automatically in the event that the overcurrent has not yet been eliminated after an adjustable pause time until the current consumption of the supply rail is within the tolerated size.
- This process also triggers an optical and acoustic alarm signal.
- the response of the monitoring circuit is stored until the optical signal is manually deleted.
- a suitable connection to the cathode of the cell is also routed through an isolation amplifier and displayed on a digital instrument. This means that the operating voltage of the cell can be read on the device at any time.
- the voltage supply for the contactor control which is secured by special locking circuits with the operating loads even in the event of failure of electronic switching elements such as transistors or the like, is combined with the isolating amplifier of the cell operating voltage on a common plug-in card.
- the contactors are encapsulated in sheet steel housings.
- the cell voltage and the average target current consumption of the individual supply rails can be read on the digital displays.
- the actual current consumption of the individual supply rails can now be queried on the device.
- the inclination of the frame can now be changed in manual operation by controlling the servomotors on the anode holding frame, so that the current distribution is corrected over the length of the frame. If this measure is not sufficient, the current consumption of the individual power supplies must be checked using a current clamp and adjusted individually.
- the anode frames can each be lowered overall in adjustable steps by means of buttons on the device and the cell can thus be brought to operating voltage.
- the device automatically blocks during the set pause times and thus prevents the anodes from dropping too quickly.
- the device monitors the current consumption of the individual supply rails and blocks when the set maximum percentage deviation from the arithmetic mean value of the total current consumption is reached, so that the anodes cannot run the risk of a short circuit.
- the electrolytic cell has a cell trough 6 and a cell cover 9. On the cell cover 9 supports 14 are attached, which carry a frame 11 which serves to adjust the anodes 8.
- the flowing mercury cathode in the cell trough 6 is designated by 7. Otherwise, the cell structure is known per se.
- the monitoring and control device 1 is connected to the supply rail 4 by a measuring line 2, via a shunt tap or measuring section 2 '.
- the feeder rail or busbar 4 is electrically conductively but flexibly connected to the individual anodes 8 by a current supply band 5.
- the anodes 8 are known per se, e.g. B. arranged in a sleeve power supply bolts, which in turn are provided with adjusting screws 10 for individual adjustment relative to the frame 11.
- a lifting gear is designated, which is driven by an electric gear motor 13, for. B. on the illustrated horizontal shaft, so d ate in the manner of a bevel gear drive, the support frame 11 for the anodes 8 overall on the columns 14 is movable up and down, as indicated by arrows.
- the lines and the fastening elements for the lines to the anodes are advantageously made from the same material as the current rails. Temperature compensation elements are also provided in order to compensate for temperature differences in the individual supply rails.
- the measuring part can also be designed as a single device, so that a cell that has no motorized adjustment can be readjusted manually.
