APPARATUS FOR COOLING SPENT ANODES OF ELECTROLYTIC MELTING BATHS

摘要

For the purpose of cooling anode rods carrying hot spent anodes removed from electrolytic furnaces, a separate cooling chamber is provided through which the anode rods to be cooled are conveyed by means of a through conveyor, preferably on pallets. The cooling chamber possesses, in its bottom region, a cooling air feed and, in its top region, a waste air extraction duct. At both ends, the cooling chamber is closable by means of doors.
