The outer perimeter of the circular baffle is spaced away from the interior of the anode wheel. Means for supplying cooling liquid to the central portion of one side of the baffle is provided as well as means for removing cooling liquid from the other side of the baffle. Structural means are provided for rotating the baffle and the anode wheel at the same angular velocity.
