<p>The invention relates to a method and equipment for casting anodes. In the method, an anode (4) that is cast in a mould (2) is cooled at cooling stages, wherein water is sprayed on the top surface of the anode. The cooling stages include one or more power cooling stages, wherein water is sprayed on the top surface of the anode (4) by a power cooling device (9), at high pressure and with at least one water spray (10), which is directed obliquely at the anode top surface so that the water spray passes by the lifting lugs (7) of the anode and the edge zone (5) of the mould surrounding the lifting lugs without essentially touching them. The volume flow and the pressure of the water spray are selected so that the water spray penetrates the layer of steam that is possibly on the surface, gets into contact with the anode surface and bounces from the anode surface over the edge zones of the mould, from the opposite side of the edge zones of the mould, essentially without rinsing and cooling.</p> |
