Abstract

A method of charging coke ovens with coal through charging holes and simultaneously withdrawing gases evolving from the coal charge through the middle charging holes thereof, holding the coal charge over a period of time sufficient for a coal-charging machine to deliver a next batch of said coal charge for charging the next successive coke oven, completely charging said coke oven while simultaneously charging the next successive coke oven through its extreme charging holes, and withdrawing through said middle charging holes of said coke oven being completely charged, said coke-oven gases and introducing a gas inert to said coke-oven gas in an amount of 15-20% of the total amount of the coke-oven gas being withdrawn. There is also provided a coal-charging machine for carrying out this method comprising a frame with undercarriages, hoppers for containing the coal charge, the number of hoppers corresponding to the number of the charging holes of the coke oven, coal feed devices disposed in the upper portion of the hoppers.

Claims2

Dependent claims

A coal-charging machine comprising a frame with undercarriages;

hoppers for containing a coal charge, mounted on said frame, the number of the hoppers being equal to the number of the charging holes of a coking chamber;
coal feed devices located in the upper part of said hoppers;
coal discharging devices located in the lower part of said hoppers, The centers of the discharging holes of said coal discharging devices of the extreme hoppers for charging a coking chamber, being displaced, in the direction of movement of the coal-charging machine relative the centers of the discharging holes of the coal discharging devices of the middle hopper for completely charging another coking chamber by a distance equal to the distance between the longitudinal axes of a coking chamber being charged and another coking chamber being completely charged;
a means for withdrawing coke-oven gases from a coking chamber through its middle charging holes, located in the same row with the extreme hoppers and mechanically connected with each middle hopper, and a blowing device communicating through said middle hoppers with another coking chamber.
