Referring to the drawings, the oven is illustrated as an underburner coke and gas oven carried on supports 2, forming accessible arches or passages under which the at tendant may move to regulate the valves for the rich gas supply. The body of the oven comprises a plurality of horizontally elongated oven chambers 3, 3a, provided with heating walls 4, 4a, in which twin heating flues, 5, 6, 5a, 6a, 5b, 6b, are arranged, the
gas burning upwardly in the branch flues 5, 5a, 5b, and descending in flues 6, 6a, 6b,
in one wall, and when the oven is reversed, the .gases willburn upwardly in flues 6, 6a, 6b,, and descend in flues 5, 5a, 5b. The flues are provided at their tops with peep holes. Regulators are provided for regulating the flow thru the flues, which regulators may be constructed as usual, in the form shown in Figure 1, in which slides 7 are provided whose position can be adjuste by a rod op- 'erated manually and passing'thru holes 8,
bered 10, 11, 12, 13, in Figure .8. Each group of regenerators includes a weak gas regenerator between two air regenerators. Triad groupll, includes gas regenerator 14, built between two air regenerators-15, 16. Triad' group 12, includes gas regenerator 17, built.
between two air regenerators 18, 19. Triad group10, includes gas regenerator 21, and I I two air regenerators 20, 22. Triad group 13,
includes gas regenerator 23, and air regenerators 24, 25. And, similarly for'the other regenerator groups. Each gas regenerator is sup lied with weak gas thru its'conduit 140, I 0, 230, etc., extending to the oven faces, and lying beneath and parallel to the regenerator and communicating therewith by means of ports 14011. The air regenera tors are similarly supplied with air thru -their conduits 150, 160, etc. and ports 150a. The gas enerator 14, is directly connected by means 0 two passageways 26, 2 with the flues of two neighboring heating walls. In
the form illustrated in Figs. 1-8, passage- 'way 26 connects gas regenerator 14, to the branches 5, 5a, 5b, of the-twin flues of one heating wall and passageway 27 connects the gas regenerator 14, to branches 6 6a, 6b, of the neighboring heating wall. series of such passageways 26, 27, directly connects regenerator 14, with a series of twin flues in each heating wall (see Figure 3).
The regenerators 17 18, 19 of group 12, and the regenerators 20, 21, 22' of group 10, are similarly connected to twiniflues, group 10 and group 12, being the groups on opposite sides of and. adjacent to the feeding in group 11. Consequently, preheated gas and air is supplied by the feeding in group, burnt in neighboring flues and discharged into two groups of regenerators adjacent to and on opposite sides of the feeding in group.
The roof 200 of the regenerators lying be-' tween the bottoms of the heating flues and the tops of the regenerators are thus provided with transverse passageways passing transversely through the roof directly connecting the regenerators with the associated twin flues. This insures .a short passage for the travel of the gas and air and of the burning gases in the flues, thus reducing thepressure required to feed the flues and with a consequent reduction in leakage between the flue chamber and the oven chamber.
groups become the discharge groups for the products" of combustion and the adjacent groups become feeding in groups for their respective flue systems.
When it is desired to operate the oven by means of a strong gas, horizontal gas supply pipes 30, 31, are provided which extend in the vaulted passageways underneath the oven, the pipes lying beneath the heating walls. The pipes are arranged in pairs and vertical gas pipes '32, 33, are connected in two On reversal of the oven, the feeding in 1 sets to the respective horizontal pipes 30, 31. I
These vertical gas pipes pass upwardly thru the partition walls 34 between the regenerators such as the oven supporting walls, which protects the gas within the pipes from excessivevheat which would otherwise lead to decomposition of the gases. One set of vertical gas pipes enters one branch of the twin flues and another set of pipes enters the other branch, thus supplying strong gas for both direct and reverse operations of the oven..
the downwardly discharging flue branches adjacent flues. In other words, the upwardly burning flue branches are-adjacent and r are likewisefadjacent.
I also arrange the air flues Whichsupplies. pre-heated air to one branch of the twin flue, back of and below the gas flue, which supplies preheated gas to the same branch of the twin flue. In this way a greater longitudinal separation is provided between the gas-flue and the waste-heat flue, thus reducing the danger of leakage between the gas flue and the wasteheat flue.
Referring now to Figure 11, it will be observed that the regenerator system is divided into groups of three regenerators as before, one for 'gas which lies between two air regenerators. The gas regenerators 39, 40, 41,
The regenerators of the coke oven are divided in the middle by adivision wall 300 each longitudinal half of the oven thus operating independently of the other half.
In Figures 9 and 10, I have shown my improved form of brick regulator for controlling the flue opening and to regulate the flow of burning gas thru the flue. A brick 65 is placed in a socket in the top of the flue separation wall and extends to the top of the oven. An opening 67, is provided in'the roofof the oven, thru which the brick may be introduced. Filling bricks 68, are placed in the opening on top of the valvebrick 65. The brick as shown in Figure 10, is narrower .than the flue passageway and thus leaves openings 69, 70, at each side thru which the flame passes. The brick may also be perforated. By introducing bricks of various sizes, the flow may be controlled.
Having thus described the invention and its operation, it will be understood that j changes may be made in'carryingthe invention into eflect, without departing from the principle thereof. WhatI claim is": s A coke oven provided with a roof, a series of alternate coking chambers and heating walls therefor, said walls being each provided with vertical combustion flues, communicably connected at their tops, separating walls between two adjacent combustion flues, a removable brick mounted on the top of each separating wall and extending substantiallyto the roof of the oven, said brick being adapted to permit the passage of gas at leaston one side thereof and being adapted to regulate the rate of passage of burning gas from one flue to the adjacent flue.
In witness whereof I have signed m name to this specification.
