Abstract
A coke oven battery has a continuous roof and uprights at each of the pusher and coke sides. The uprights are connected by ties extending through pipes embedded in the roof. To provide cooling for the ties, a massive metal cooling member extends upwardly from each pipe to the upper side of the roof, to conduct heat away from the pipe. The cooling member may contain a chamber forming an evaporation cooling system.
Claims6
Coke oven battery having
- a pusher side and a coke side;
- a continuous oven roof extending between said sides and having an upper side;
- a plurality of uprights on each of said pusher and coke sides;
- a plurality of ties respectively connecting said uprights on the pusher side with said uprights on the coke side and extending through the oven roof;
- a plruality of pipes embedded in said oven roof and housing said ties;
- and
- for each said pipe, at least one metal cooling member in contact with said pipe and said upper side of the oven roof, thereby forming a heat transfer path from said pipe to said upper side of the oven roof, said metal cooling member being arranged and constructed to reduce the temperature of an otherwise uncooled tie by an average of around 200.degree. C. during operation of the coke oven battery.
