With effective, low temperature operation, companies may extend the service life and cut life-cycle costs. The Electrically Heated Anode Copper System provides a completely automated, low energy solution.
There is just a small amount of skull that needs to be remelted because all of the copper exits the launder and the launder is empty at the cast end. As fewer reject anodes are produced at the cast start, the quality and recovery of the copper that is cast improves. The electrically heated washers can be as long as they like.
The Global Electrically Heated Copper Anode System Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
An electric heating element assembly and a sacrificial anode are both found in a water heater tank, both of which are covered in a zinc coating.
Because the heater element is typically covered with a protective sheath made of a metal like copper or another similar material, it has been discovered that in some installations the anodes may dissipate too quickly as a result of electrolytic interaction. The copper sheath in certain heaters is tin-plated for protection.
However, over time, when the sacrificial anode stops working due to magnesium depletion or the formation of an irremovable film over the anode, the tin plating accelerates tank deterioration because it creates a highly corrosive electrolytic cell.The element is fixed to the tank wall, and the steel of the tank is electrically isolated from the sheath.
Additionally, a zinc block may be fixed to the heating element assembly’s wall. In this configuration, the anodic coating serves as a bleeder anode for the discharge of current originating from the electrolytic current from the primary anode to ground.
This heating element assembly does not combine with the tank walls to create an electrolytic cell that is corrosive. In some installations where the stored water is more corrosive, a mass or a piece of zinc is installed on the sheath and its base and is also electrically insulated from the metal of the tank.
