Abstract:Considering the complicate shape and large number of anodes of prebaked cells bottom, the temperature field was numerically simulated by integral model and coupling method with RNGκ-ε turbulent model, and the radiation field was calculated by discrete transmission method, avoiding the difficulties to integral space. The results reveal that the gas baking start-up can easily control the temperature-up speed, and the maximum temperature difference of cathode surfaces is up to 100℃. With the start-up method, the joint and ramming paste of the edge can be fully baked, which meets the requirements of start-up process of aluminum electrolysis cell.
