Abstract
A coke quencher car apparatus comprises a receptacle that is similar to a standard quencher car, but having one internal baffle forming coke compartments, and a frame at each end thereof on which is supported metal curtain material. Each curtain is stretchable to cover one of the coke compartments during and after the pushing of coke is completed. The quencher car is connected to a traction car carrying equipment to remove and clean gases arising from the pushed coke in the quencher car and to move the quenching car.
Claims13
Apparatus that receives and transports hot coke pushed from a chamber of coke oven battery comprising:
- a. a receptacle mounted on a frame that is movable along the coke side of said battery and that receives coke pushed from said chamber of said battery, said receptacle having an open top and an open side portion that is adjacent said coke oven battery chamber;
- b. a first flexible screen that is fixed at one end to one end of said receptacle and that is retractable and stretchable over said open top thereof;
- c. a second flexible screen that is fixed at one end to one end of said receptacle and that is retractable and stretchable over said open side portion thereof;
- d. means for stretching and retracting said first screen;
- e. means for stretching and retracting said second screen;
- and
- f. means for moving said receptacle along said battery, said means carrying equipment that removes, cleans and exhausts gases arising from said coke in said receptacle.
Apparatus that receives and transports hot coke pushed from a chamber of a coke oven battery comprising:
- a. a receptacle that is mounted on a frame that is movable along the coke side of said battery and that receives said coke, said receptacle having an open top and an open side portion that is adjacent said coke oven battery chamber;
- b. a first flexible screen that is fixed at one end of said receptacle and that is retractable and stretchable over said open top thereof;
- c. a second flexible screen that is fixed at one end of said receptacle and that is retractable and stretchable over said open side portion thereof;
- d. means for stretching and retracting said first flexible screen;
- e. means for stretching and retracting said second flexible screen;
- f. means on said receptacle for stowing said first flexible screen when retracted;
- g. means on said receptacle for stowing said second flexible screen when retracted;
- and
- h. a traction car connected to said frame and carrying equipment that removes, cleans and exhausts gases arising from coke within said receptacle.
Apparatus that receives and transports hot coke pushed from a chamber of a coke oven battery comprising:
- a. a receptacle mounted on a frame carried by wheel-axle trucks engaging rails, that is movable along the coke side of said battery and that receives said hot coke, said receptacle having an open top that slops downwardly toward said battery;
- b. a pair of flexible screens or curtains arranged on stowage reels journaled to said frame, said screens or curtains being adapted to cover said open top of said receptacle;
- c. means for stretching said screens or curtains over said open top and for retracting said screens or curtains onto said stowage reels;
- d. means for moving said receptacle along said battery as hot coke is pushed from said chamber and is received in said receptacle;
- and
- e. a conduit mounted to one side of said receptacle having one or more openings communicating with said conduit whereby effluent arising from said hot coke in said receptacle passes into said conduit.
Apparatus that receives and transports hot coke pushed from a coke oven battery chamber comprising:
- a. an open-topped receptacle mounted on a frame that is carried by wheel-axle trucks engaging rails, and that is movable along the coke side of said battery and that receives said hot coke;
- b. a pair of flexible screens or curtains mounted to reels journaled to said frame near the ends of said receptacle on which said screens or curtains are stowed when retracted from covering said open-topped receptacle;
- c. a locomotive connected to said frame that moves said apparatus on said rails along said coke oven battery;
- d. a conduit on said receptacle that collects and conveys effluent arising from said hot coke as it falls into and remains within said receptacle;
- e. means carried by a car on said rails that is movable by said locomotive for receiving and cleaning said effluent;
- and
- f. drive means connecting said axle with said reel for rotating said reel and thereby extending and retracting each screen or curtain as said apparatus moves along said battery.
