Abstract
817,120. Preventing corrosion. RISBERG,. E. July 5, 1957 [July 5, 1956], No. 21437/57. Class 123(1) In an oil tanker vessel a tank 1 which is filled with sea water ballast is protected from corrosion by an impressed current anode 2 suspended therein and supplied with current through a cable 11. The anode is assembled from a number of annular sections 3 of graphite stacked inside a tight-fitting perforated sleeve 4 of insulating material such as polyvinyl chloride. The cylindrical cavity 5 formed inside the stack is closed at both ends by covers. A pipe 7 extending to the bottom of the cavity passes through the top cover and is connected to one section of a double pump 8 which withdraws water from the cavity, the water having passed on to the cavity through a filter 14 enclosing the anode and preventing access of suspended particles thereto, through perforations 9 in the sleeve 4 and between the sections 3. The :cavity may be vented to atmosphere or connected with a vacuum source by a conduit 10. To maintain the full level in the tank, the volume of seat water withdrawn is replaced by the other section of the pump 8 which delivers the water through a pipe 12 to the region immediately surrounding the anode through nozzles 13, thus preventing the oxygen contained in the make-up water from being distributed in the ballast. The flow of water into the anode and thence from the tank removes from the latter harmful and corrosive anode products such as chlorine and oxygen before they come into contact with the tank walls and prevents accumulations of gas in the tank top with consequent explosion hazards. When oil is loaded into the tank the anode may be removed. If, however, it is to be permanently mounted the supply cable 11 and conduits 7, 10, 12 are housed in a single tube, 15, Fig. 2, on which slides a bell cover 16. The cover has a float chamber 17 of such size that the cover floats in water but sinks in oil. When the sea-water ballast is removed from the tank the cover drops to enclose and protect the anode and remains in this position when the tank is filled with oil.
