Premature Failure of Deep Well Anodes.

摘要

This report covers an investigation into the causes of premature failure of deep well anode beds. Anodes or lead wires were retrieved from two failed deep well anode beds and analyzed. Deep well conditions were simulated in the laboratory and graphite and HSCI anodes were subjected to different electrolytes and normal current outputs. A new wire insulation was tested and compared to HMPE insulation under deep well conditions in the lab. (Author)
