<p>An apparatus is provided for use as a suspension device for suspending one or more anodes and one or more reference cells inside metallic water tanks as a portion of a cathodic protection system for the water tank for the inhibition of corrosion in the tank. The apparatus is particularly adapted for use in the northern reaches of the earth's temperate zones, where ice forms in outdoor water tanks during the winter season. The apparatus is designed to maintain the anodes and reference cells suspended therefrom in the liquid portion of the water tank as ice forms at the top of the water, the bottom of the water and at the sides of the tank and to allow the anodes and reference cells to retain the ability to perform their function despite the ice.</p> |
