Experimental research on heat transfer system of aluminum reduction cell's side walls
This paper designs a finned heat exchange unit for side walls according to characteristics of aluminum reduction cells and conducts experimental research.The experimental results show that with the increase of heat transfer oil flow rate,the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet decrea-ses,the heat transfer capacity increases and the maximum heat transfer capacity is 2.94 kW;When the temperature of aluminum liquid increases,the heat transfer capacity also increases;The heat transfer capacity decreases with the increase of ledge thickness;Selecting an appropriate insulation layer thickness can achieve optimal side wall heat transfer.
