Abstract

The cell top chamber is an important region for exchanging material and energy with the bath and the surrounding environment. A considerable heat loss of the aluminium smelting cells is lost through this space. The heat transfer behaviour in the cell top is complex—ambient air and gases generated in the bath enter the cell top, undergo chemical reactions, and are finally collected by the exhaust duct. This paper presents a dynamic coupled mass and thermal model for the top chamber of the aluminium smelting cell. Based on the model, the dynamics of cell top temperature under different operations are studied. This model can be used to investigate the influence of cell operations on the cell top heat balance, especially during power modulation.
