Hull Aluminum Anode Calculation

Vessel Name: Altantic Veracruz

LBP : 1 6 0 .4 m
MB : 2 7 .2 m
MD : 9 .8 m
Design Life: 5 .0 years
2
Current Density: 4 mA/ m
Electrical Capacity: 2 5 0 0 Ah/ kg
Block Coefficient: 0 .8 5
Utilise Factor: 0 .8 5

Surface Area = 1 5 .6 X LBP X MB XD X BC

35

= 1 5 .6 X 1 6 0 X 2 7 .2 X 9 .8 X 0 .8 5
35

= 2 5 0 2 .2 4 x 227
35

= 2 5 0 2 .2 4 x 2 .5

= 6 3 7 2 .6 9
Current required = Surface Area X Current Density

= 6 3 7 2 .6 9 x 4 .0

= 2 5 .4 9 Amphere

Weight Required = Current X 8 7 6 0 X Design Life

Electrical Capacity X U. F
= 1 1 1 6 4 9 4 .5 0
2125

= 5 2 5 .4 1 kg

* Net Weight proposed: = 9 .2 kg

* * Anode required: = 5 7 .1 1 nos

Total Anode required: = 58 nos

Proposed Anode:
Anode Type : WT1 1 7 - Aluminum Anodes (Welded Type)
Size : 5 5 0 x 1 3 0 x 6 5 mm thick
Gross Weight : 1 1 .6 Kg
