INTRODUCTION FOR M.G.P.S

The system is based on the electrolytic principle consisting of copper and aluminium anodes which
are fed with a fixed impressed electrical current from control panel.
The System is designed to give continuous protection with the minimum maintenance against
marine growth and corrosion caused by marine growth in seawater service line. It will provide
complete protection through the full designated anode life.
Excessive anode current will result in an excessive rate of consumption of the anodes, and then
reducing their life and possibly leaving the water system unprotected if the anodes are worn out.

SYSTEM PRINCIPLE
The system produces anti-fouling ion using specially alloyed anodes.
There are two types known as the CU(copper) anodes and AL(aluminium) anodes.
CU Anodes are manufactured from copper as major part for system. The copper anode produces
ions which are transported by the seawater and carried into the pipework system to prevent marine
growth.
They release ions during electrolysis as following reactions.
Anodic reaction
Cathodic reaction

Cu Cu2+ + 2e
2H2O + 2e H2 + 2OH

AL Anodes are manufactured from aluminium as supplementary part for system. The slow
dissolution of the aluminium anode produces ions which spread throughout the system and produce
an anti-corrosive layer on the internal surface of sea water cooling lines.
They release ions during electrolysis as following reactions.

Cathodic reaction

Al Al3+ + 3e
3H2O + 3e 3/2H2 + 3OH

Product of Al(OH)3

Al3+ + 3OH Al(OH)3

INSTRUCTION FOR CONTROL PANEL

(KCAF/NM TYPE)
DISPLAY
The panel contains digital display according to the quantity of anode. Current setting for each
anode can be easily adjusted by up-down button and is shown in the digital display.
The alarm lamp will be ON when improper current to each anode is set and any failure of system
operation. This alarm can be connected to vessels alarm system externally.
FIXING
Two mounting bars with four holes for M10 are incorporated on the back plate of the panel.
We recommend a bulkhead mounting in close proximity to the anodes to avoid voltage drop and
cutting cable run costs.
MAIN POWER SUPPLY CABLE
Run cable from available power source .... via gland to terminal marked 'Mains In'.
Be sure to connect correct cable to terminal.
SETTING UP
Once the cables have been run and connected, the System is ready to be switched on.
NOTE - the following procedure can only be carried out with the anodes in seawater.
1.

Switch on the main power.

2.

Set all anodes currents by pressing the buttons unless the readings of digital display
correspond to each current specified in Operation Manual.

3.

Switch off until ship starts engine(s) up and switch on when sea water pumps are running.

(JIS 5K-100A FLANGE WITH PIPE UPSTAND TYPE)
Before work, make sure of anode overhaul height by the length of anode & mounting sleeve over
the sea chest top.
1.

Pipe upstand (100A #80) to be supplied and fitted by client. Pipe to have minimum bore of
95mm inside after coating or lining to ensure clearance of anode mounting assembly.
Flange to be JIS 5K-100A.

Determine the position of the pipe upstand and burn a hole in the top plate of the sea chest to
suit pipe outside diameter. The anodes must be positioned between the sea water inlet grid
and suction pipes in the sea chest in case anode are installed in sea chest.
Recommended minimum dimensions for anode positioning 220mm between anode centers
and 120mm between anode center and the nearest steel works.

1.1 Pipe is welded to the sea chest top plate on both top and bottom surfaces.
1.2 Flange top surfaces must be horizontal unless otherwise stated.
1.3 We recommend that any special paint or coating applied to the sea chest be also applied to the
pipe upstand.
2.

Bolt flange mounting complete with anode to mating flange on pipe upstand.
Remember to fit gasket between flanges and ensure no mechanical load is applied to cable.

Measure the readings of megger value between each anode cable end(tester "+") and

WIRING OF SYSTEM
Client to supply all cables and connection boxes between :1.
2.

Power isolation switch and control panel.

Control panel and anodes including earth return leads.

Minimum Recommended Cable Specification

Marine rubber double insulated. Use one core per anode and one core per earth return.
The minimum core size for all cable is as follows : 0

25

metre cable run

Use 2.5 sq mm core.

25
50

50
100

metre cable run

metre cable run

Use 4.0 sq mm core.

Use 6.0 sq mm core.

Each anode is assembled with different cable color for easy identification as follows;
CU (Copper) Anode Cable

- Red

AL (Aluminium) Anode Cable - Blue

WIRING UP
An earth (-ve) return must be installed at each separate anode location i.e. if the system supplied is
designed for 2 sea chests/strainers then 2 earth returns must be used. Use a min of 1 earth return for
every 4 Anodes. Ensure that a separate core of a multicore cable or a completely separate cable is
used for this purpose. Use cable as specified above. Connect to the terminals available in the
rear of the control unit marked 'earth returns'.
We suggest the cable connections are made by welding a bolt on to the strainer or sea chest close to
the anodes (but no nearer than 250mm).
Fit junction box close to anodes and wire to control panel using recommended cable as per
attached wiring diagram and control box drawing.
After switching on, check the polarity of the anodes in relation to the hull.
All anodes are to be positive, relative to a negative hull.

IN-SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
DESCRIPTION
Once the System has been installed it will perform two functions : 1.

Eliminate marine growth and reduce the corrosion rate in the seawater service lines.

2.

The System uses impressed current sacrificial anodes which last to designed life.
Once in service the anodes will require renewal within designed life.
Refer to instruction of anode renewal as specified separately.
Please ensure a reasonable dispatch time when ordering replacement anodes.

You will require the following : ANODE

When ordering, inform of maker's reference number specified on the cover sheet of this drawing.
ADJUSTMENTS
The control panel is fully automatic and therefore does not require any adjustments in service.
CHECKING
We suggest that as a matter of course the Control Panel should be checked every week.
When checking, see that all the digital display ammeters are working, this will determine all is
correct. When the anodes have nearly wasted, the digital display above the corresponding anode
will start to fall. When this happens, turn the anode current knob back to zero and leave it until
the anode renewal.
Reset once again at sea after renewal to current settings given previously.

INSTRUCTIONS OF ANODE RENEWAL

Life of anodes is designed on specification and the time of anode exchange will be noticed from
falling down of digital display of each anode on control panel. Exchange of anodes can be
carried out as following procedures.
PSI provides renewal anodes in a complete assembled set including all accessories, flange
and cable. So customer is required to disconnect anode cable and flange bolts only for
replacement.
NOTE
Anode(s) positioned in sea chest : Renewal to be done during dry dock.
Anode(s) positioned in strainer
: Renewal to be done while ship is afloat.
Prior to works secure sea valves are firmly closed.
1.

Switch off main power supply on the control unit.

2.

Disconnect anode cable in junction boxes.

3.

Remove anode flange together with used anode from sea chest or strainer.

4.

Mark anode kind on counter flange.

5.

Install new anodes and connect up anode cables.

Be sure to connect correct anode and to put gaskets between anode flanges.

6.

Connect anode cable in junction box at the correct position and switch on control panel when
sea water pumps are running.

7.

Ensure current on control panel showing setting value given previously.
