Definitions
- the invention relates to the production of aluminum by igneous electrolysis according to the Hall-Héroult process. It relates more particularly to service machines used in aluminum production plants.
- Aluminum is produced industrially by igneous electrolysis, according to the well-known Hall-Héroult method, in electrolysis cells.
- Plants contain a large number of electrolytic cells arranged in line, in buildings called halls or electrolysis halls 1 and electrically connected in series using connecting conductors, in order to optimize the occupation of the ground factories.
- the cells are generally arranged to form two or more parallel lines that are electrically bonded together by end conductors.
- an electrolysis plant requires interventions on the electrolytic cells including, in particular, the replacement of spent anodes with new anodes, the removal of liquid metal produced in the cells and the samples or additions. electrolyte.
- the factories are generally equipped with one or more service units comprising a movable bridge that can be translated above the electrolysis cells, along the series of cells, and one or more modules.
- service comprising a carriage adapted to be moved on the movable bridge and handling and intervention devices, called “tools”, such as shovels, pliers, stitches and hoists.
- tools such as shovels, pliers, stitches and hoists.
- the service machines are essentially equipped with the necessary tools when replacing the anodes (bitters, anode clamps (also called “pulling keys”), bucket excavators, etc.) which are generally grouped together on a turret attached to the carriage, called a "tool carriage”. They are brought to the intervention zone on the tank thanks to the movements of the bridge and the tool-carrier then descended to the level of said intervention zone by means of cables actuated by winches or by means of articulated arms or telescopic masts actuated by hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders. These tools are themselves generally actuated pneumatically or hydraulically. s
- the service machines are also equipped with a device for extracting the aluminum produced in the tanks.
- the metal produced in the electrolysis cell is indeed regularly extracted from the tank by immersing in the liquid metal layer the end of a hollow metal tube, generally cast iron, which connects said liquid metal layer m to a ladle while passing through the electrolyte bath.
- the ladle is a waterproof pocket, typically made of steel and lined with refractory bricks.
- a partial vacuum is applied in the interior volume of the ladle, which has the effect of attracting the liquid metal produced in the tank, the latter flowing through the tube towards the ladle where it is collected. The partial vacuum is created in the atmosphere
- a depressant device typically a vacuum ejector pump controlled by compressed air, into which the compressed air enters and leaves the pump at high speed by creating, by Venturi effect, a depression in the surrounding outer space.
- a depressant device typically a vacuum ejector pump controlled by compressed air, into which the compressed air enters and leaves the pump at high speed by creating, by Venturi effect, a depression in the surrounding outer space.
- the casting winch is typically provided with a lifting hook for gripping the ladle. It is advantageous to group the ladle, the pouring tube and the depressing device intended to achieve the partial vacuum in the ladle.
- the cast assembly thus obtained can be attached to a spreader, for example by providing said lifting lug lifting ears on which the ladle is hooked, already provided with the casting tube and the depressor device. In this way, by means of said spreader, the casting assembly can be quickly grasped by the casting winch, and the downtime of the service machine is reduced to the time spent attaching the rudder and various electrical and pneumatic connections necessary for the proper functioning of the casting assembly.
- the compressed air necessary for the creation of the partial vacuum in the ladle can be provided by a fixed air intake of the building, typically the air intake closest to the cell on which the casting is performed. but it can also be provided by the compressed air source of the service machine.
- a casting assembly typically attached to a spreader, it is suspended from the casting winch and the pneumatic and electrical connections are made to ensure the necessary maneuvers during casting, typically using the button box that controls the service machine.
- a ladle is dimensioned so that it can collect the casting of several tanks. In general, present pockets can collect liquid aluminum from castings made on three cells.
- a first object according to the invention is a service machine of a series of electrolysis cells intended for the production of aluminum by igneous electrolysis, comprising: a) a traveling crane that can be translated over the electrolysis cells, b) a tool carriage, which moves along said traveling crane and on which is fixed a service module comprising handling and intervention devices, w called "tools", c) a winch casting, secured to said overhead crane, for gripping and positioning near the vessel a casting assembly comprising a ladle, a pouring tube and a depressant device for creating a partial vacuum in said ladle, in to aspirate liquid aluminum by said casting tube and to
- said compressed air generating device comprises a first compressor, capable of providing a compressed air flow 0 at least equal to the minimum air flow required for the phases of use of the machine other than castings, the air being compressed to the desired pressure p, and at least one second compressor mounted on the pneumatic circuit of said service machine so that operating simultaneously with said first compressor, the assembly provides a compressed air flow at least equal to the minimum air flow required during the
- the applicant had the idea of installing on the service machine, instead of a bulky and energy-consuming large compressor even at low power, at least two compressors of smaller capacity: a first compressor for operations other than casting and at least a second compressor for providing the extra compressed air necessary during casting.
- the service machine was initially designed to implement the operations necessary to replace the anodes.
- a single compressor with current capacity compatible with market standards, is sufficient to perform the functions related to these operations as well as some permanent functions that consume little compressed air.
- the functions related to anode replacement operations are essentially: a) actuation of a breaker, to destroy the crust at the worn anode to be replaced, removal of the connector; b) the actuations of the tightening key associated with the connector which ensures the contact between the anode rod and the anode frame (opening during the removal of the spent anode, closing during the placement of the anode new); c) the actuations of the anode clamp, also called “wrench”; and (d) crust bucket bucket actuations to collect solid debris from the bath at the anode hole.
- optional functions that consume more compressed air can be assigned to the MSE, in particular to fluidize the alumina or aluminum fluoride in the feed hoppers or else to activate the mechanism of the lifting beam of the anode frame.
- the ladle, the pouring tube, and the depressor device are grouped together and the casting assembly thus formed is attached to a rudder, intended to be gripped by the casting winch.
- the electric cables, the pneumatic hoses, the distributors, the solenoid valves and / or the various other means used for actuating the depressing device with a view to casting are grouped together with the casting assembly secured to the lifting beam and arranged in such that the electrical and pneumatic connections necessary to make the casting assembly operational are simple and fast.
- the air used to operate the tools is compressed at the usual pressure p industrial facilities, typically between 6 and 10 bar, that is to say between 0.6 and 1.0 MPa .
- the first compressor must be able to supply compressed air with a minimum flow rate typically between 4000 normal liters and 7500 normal liters per minute, depending on the number of tools of the MSE to be actuated, under a pressure of 0.6 MPa, and the second (s) compressor (s) must be able to provide extra during the casting (a flow of a normal liter per minute of gas is the flow rate, per minute, a mass gas occupying the volume of one liter under normal conditions of pressure and temperature).
- the compressed air For the casting operation, the compressed air must be supplied with a flow rate and under a pressure p 'such that the depression created by the Venturi effect at the level of the ejector is sufficiently high for the liquid aluminum to be sucked in and transported in the bag but low enough to avoid electrolyte bath entrainment with liquid aluminum.
- p ' a pressure of the order of 0.04 MPa
- the establishment of a partial vacuum of the order of 0.04 MPa requires a minimum flow of at least 10 000 normal liters per minute. 'pressurized air under a pressure of 0.6 MPa.
- a first compressor capable of supplying compressed air with a minimum flow of 6,500 normal liters under a pressure of between 0.6 MPa and 0.8 MPa and one or more second compressor (s) ( s) able to supply, while operating simultaneously with the first compressor, compressed air with a minimum flow rate of 13,000 normal liters under a pressure of between 0.6 MPa and 1.0 MPa, preferably between 0.6 MPa and 0.8 MPa.
- the first compressor and the second compressor are used so that they work in tandem:
- each compressor being able to provide the useful air flow during the phases of use of the M.S.E0 other than pouring
- the two compressors are interchangeable and it is advantageous to choose them identical.
- identical is meant “able to provide the same minimum flow of compressed air at the same pressure”.
- the reduction in the frequency of maintenance interventions not only leads to a reduction in the number of oil changes necessary for the correct operation of the compressor, a reduction in oil consumption, a gain in terms of staff downtime, but also improves the availability of the service machine, so that an electrolysis hall could, with identical functions, be equipped with a smaller number of service machines, if they meet the characteristics of the invention. But the current trend is rather to keep their number and assign them additional functions.
- the compressors used in the context of the invention have a reduced size compared to that which would be necessary if using a single compressor. Thanks to the invention, it is possible to use compressors which correspond to market standards, which have a relatively lower acquisition cost because they are produced in large quantities. As a result, the cost of installing several compressors is generally not higher than that of a single large compressor. In addition, the compressors being selected from the market standards, it is easier to provide spare parts and maintenance is greatly facilitated. As a result, maintenance and operating costs are lower while capital expenditures remain similar.
- Another advantage of the invention lies in the fact that the availability of service machines (MSE) for operations other than casting can be greatly improved: in case of failure of one of the compressors, it is possible to operate at least one other compressor, in particular when replacing the anodes.
