Abstract
In the process of transferring coke from a coke oven chamber in a battery of coke ovens to a quenching car, the coke is quenched by a water spray from above. The resulting steam is collected in a hood located above and movable with the quenching car and is either exhausted from the hood and conveyed to a condenser or is condensed in the hood with the condensate being collected, cooled and recirculated to provide the water for the quenching and condensing sprays. The apparatus and method of this invention provides for transferring and quenching the coke without emitting harmful gases and dust to the atmosphere.
Claims4
In a coke quenching system, the combination comprising a coke quenching car for receiving hot coke from a coke oven and transferring it from the coke oven, a hood located in close proximity above the quenching car, means for moving the hood independently of but with the quenching car, the hood including in the interior thereof means for spraying the coke and the quenching car with water, and conduit means communicating with the movable hood to exhaust the steam resulting from quenching of the coke from inside the hood and conduct the steam to a stationary treating station without venting of the steam to the atmosphere there between.
