Abstract:
This invention comprises a complete arrangement of ovens, underflues, cooling air ducts under the oven, the feeder flue, to control dampers in the feeder flues, the common flues, the charge car operating over the ovens the ram car operating on one side of the ovens and the hot coke car operating on the other side of the ovens, the oven doors, the door opening/closing mechanism, the coal bin tower with the weighbridge, the quench tower and the feed of the flue gases to boilers of the power plant. The oven is a specially designed structure made of various qualities and shapes of refractory bricks designed to withstand the high temperatures. The combustion is controlled by allowing air in and the hot waste gases are led to a common flue refractory lined inside to withstand the high temperature. The waste gases are led to the boiler for producing steam and electric power in a turbine/generator for energy recovery or alternatively led to an oven stack of sufficient height to maintain a draft in the oven to sustain the coking process.
