Aluminum Electrolysis Rectifier Cabinet
Modern aluminum electrolysis production uses the cryolite-alumina molten salt electrolysis method. Alumina is used as the solute, carbonaceous material as the anode, and molten aluminum as the cathode. A strong direct current from the rectifier cabinet is applied, and an electrochemical reaction occurs at the two electrodes within the electrolytic cell at 950℃-970℃—this is aluminum electrolysis. The compatibility of the rectifier equipment has a significant impact on the quality of the aluminum and the cost of electricity consumption. A complete set of rectifier equipment includes a rectifier cabinet, digital control cabinet, rectifier transformer, pure water cooler, DC sensors, and DC switches. It is typically installed indoors near the electrolytic cell, cooled by pure water, and the incoming voltage is 220KV, 10KV, etc.
