SPRING SUPPORTED ANODE

摘要

The present invention resides in an expandable anode assembly which comprises an anode riser and anode surfaces on opposite sides of the anode riser. Each anode surface comprises multiple anode sheets. Each anode sheet is supported by spring connectors which allow movement of one sheet of an anode surface without movement of the other sheet of such surface. The spring connectors hold each sheet so that its profile remains essentially flat in such movement. Each sheet lies in the same or an essentially parallel plane with other sheets of the anode assembly.
