Thermo-electric field analysis on heat recovery aluminum reduction cell

摘要

The distribution of the electricity and the thermal field directly affects the stability, current efficiency and energy consumption of electrolysis cells. In this paper, by using finite element software ANSYS, the thermoelectric field of 2000 A heat recovery aluminum reduction cell model was built. Through the use of APDL, a parametric model was established and then the thermoelectric field was simulated. The results indicate that the model is accurate. On the basis of the established model, the thermoelectric field was further analyzed.
