Remote computerized anode adjuster

The Olin cells [68] have machined steel cell bottom units with rubber-lined steel side channels and steel tops. The anode stems are sealed through individual flexible rubber sleeves and are suspended from a copper channel, which also carries the current from the flexible buses to the anodes. Olin has developed a novel system to mount and adjust the anode-cathode gaps. The U-shaped copper or aluminum bus bar, located above each row of anodes, provides support to the anode lifting gear and current to the anodes, which are bolted to it. The anodes can be adjusted manually or electronically with the remote computerized anode adjusted (RCAA) system. 

The special feature of the Olin-Mathieson cell lies in the system of mounting and adjusting the anodes. Above each row of anode rods, a U-shaped copper or aluminum bus bar also serves to support the anode lifting gear. The anode rods are bolted to the U-shaped bus bar. The anodes are adjusted as a group, either manually or by a remote computer with the remote computerized anode adjuster (RCAA) system. The currents are measured independently of the cell potentials by means of reed contacts [90].
