Description
The present invention relates to coke ovens. As is known, these ovens
comprise chambers inside which combustion of the gases for heating the oven is
performed, these chambers being bounded by relatively thin walls (about ten
centimetres thick) consisting of refractory bricks which separate these chambers from
the distillation chambers inside which the coal, usually lithanthrax, is charged for
conversion into coke. These groups of combustion chambers and distillation
chambers form the so-called "batteries" of coke ovens. Since, inside distillation
chambers, the coal swells as it is heated, the walls of these chambers must
withstand considerable horizontal thrusts which cause them to behave like plates
stressed by forces which in certain moments may reach as much as 80 tonnes acting
on a refractory material which cannot withstand tensile stress. These forces are
sustained by the roof of the oven and the base which, in order to allow these walls to
withstand these horizontal stresses, must compress them properly. For this purpose,
a heavy roof is used and the distance between the two walls which form the
abutment must be sufficiently wide in order to provide it with a larger base which in
turn results in a greater moment of resistance, since this greater arm for this weight
provides the structure with a stabilizing moment in relation to a thrust of this type.
However, in all the batteries of coke ovens it happens that, after a more or less
prolonged operating period, the walls of the batteries must be protected since the
bricks of said walls crumble and break. The reason for which the bricks break is
twofold. A first reason lies in the flexing of the walls under the thrust of the coal
which swells inside the neighbouring distillation chambers and a second reason is
due to the fact that when the doors of the ovens are opened in order to remove the
coke, the bricks on the top ends of the batteries are subject to a major thermal shock.
The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a method able to
overcome these drawbacks of the present coke ovens.
In accordance with a main characteristic feature of the present invention, it has
been surprisingly found that it is possible to avoid the drawbacks and the problems of
the known art and at the same time improve the set of batteries of coke ovens, by
providing the bricks in the end zones of the walls with a greater thickness. This
increase in thickness of the bricks is, however, limited, as mentioned above, solely to
the end parts of the said walls and does not affect the thickness of the central part of
the wall, since it is through this wall that the heat must be transmitted to the coal
charge inside the distillation chambers, so that the thinner these walls the better.
In order to compensate for this increase in thickness in the end zones of the
walls of the brick structures housing the combustion chambers, a slightly greater
quantity of combustible gas and comburent air mixture is supplied into those
combustion chambers where the bricks are thicker.
Further objects and advantages of the present invention will emerge during the
course of the following description of a preferred embodiment thereof, illustrated in
the accompanying drawings, in which:
With reference to the drawings, D denotes the distillation chambers of a coke
oven. For the sake of simplicity of description, in the drawing both the openings for
loading the coal into the chambers D and the ducts for discharging the distillation
products from said chambers have been omitted since these elements are within the
public domain and illustration thereof has no bearing for the purposes of the present
invention. S denotes the brick wall structures housing the combustion chambers C.
In this case also illustration of the preheaters of the comburent air and the
combustion gas, the fume discharge ducts and the ducts supplying the combustion
gas and the comburent air to the chambers C has been omitted, since these are
elements which are commonly known and not necessary for understanding the
invention.
As illustrated in Figure 2, the bricks M1 of the walls of the end combustion
chambers, and for example the walls of the combustion chambers C1, C2 and C3,
have a thickness greater than the thickness of the bricks M of the central chambers
C. Owing to this increase in thickness of the bricks of the end combustion chambers,
a greater resistance both to the thermal shock following opening of the distillation
chambers 1 for removal of the coke produced and to the mechanical stresses of the
structure is obtained, with a consequent greater duration of the said ovens.
As stated above, this increase in thickness of the bricks is limited solely to the
bricks M1 of the end parts of the said wall structures S and does not affect the
thickness of the bricks M forming the central part of the said wall structure S, since it
is through this wall that the heat must be transmitted to the coal charge contained in
the distillation chambers D, so that the thickness of the bricks M must be contained
within the smallest limits possible.
In order to compensate for this increase in thickness of the bricks in the end
zones of the walls S of the batteries, which would result in a smaller supply of heat to
the chambers D in these zones, a slightly greater quantity of combustion gas and
comburent air is supplied into the combustion chambers C1, C2, C3 ... where the
bricks are thicker, and a slightly smaller quantity is supplied to the remaining 90% of
the combustion chambers C in the central wall part of the batteries.
Obviously, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments illustrated
and described. Thus, for example, despite the fact that in the drawing only three
combustion chambers for each end of the set S of combustion chambers have been
shown as equipped with bricks of greater thickness, it is understood that the number
of these chambers may be different. Moreover, it is possible to envisage that the
transition from bricks of greater thickness to bricks which are relatively thin in the
central zone occurs in a somewhat gradual manner.
Therefore the present invention is not limited to that described and illustrated,
but comprises all those variants and modifications which fall within the scope of the
inventive idea, substantially as claimed below.
