F. WETHLY March 29, 1966 AUTOMATIC ACTUATION OF THE UPTAKE VALVES IN A COKE OVEN BATTERY Filed June 13. 1961 K m M M 0 V5 r \mW r m Y B United States Patent 3 243 360 AUTOMATIC ACTUATlON or THE UPTAKE VALVES IN A COKE OVEN BATTERY Frans Wetlily, Manhasset, N.Y., assignor to Allied phemical Corporation, New York, N.Y., a corporation of New York Filed June 13, 1961, Ser. No. 116,780 3 Claims. (Cl. 202256) This invention relates to a coke oven battery having a collector main and valve controlled uptakes leading from each coking chamber into the collector rnairi.
In such coke oven batteries, the valves throttling the flow of gas evolved in the coking chamber-s into the collector main, control the pressure within the coking chambers. These valves are adjusted during the coking cycle to maintain positive pressure conditions in the coking chambers at all times throughout the coking cycle, particularly near the sole of the coking chambers, where unless the flow of gas from the coking chambers is throttled towards the end of the coking cycle, the pressure tends to fall due primarily to the reduction in gas evolution towards the end of the coking cycle. Such operation of the valves controlling flow through the uptake pipes into the collector main to throttle the flow of gas and thus maintain positive pressure conditions therein in the coking chambers is important particularly in modern high coking chambers where the height of the coking chambers exerts a marked stack effect on the lower portions of the coking chambers. Unless the flow of gas from the chambers is throttled adequately towards the end of the coking cycle, negative pressures are created in the lower portions of the chambers with all of the objections incident thereto, such as leakage of fuel gas and air into the coking chambers. Adequate control of the pressure within the coking chambers is important not only from the standpoint of minimizing the adverse effect of gas leakage but also from the standpoint of ob ectionable carbon formation on the walls thereof, which takes place when gas or air leakage into the coking chambers occurs.
The mechanism heretofore proposed for operating the individual valves controlling the flow of the gas evolved in the coking chambers through the uptakes into the collector main or mains were either operated manually or by excessively complicated automatic mechanism. Such automatic mechanism heretofore suggested was relatively expensive both in first cost and to maintain in operating condition.
It is a particular object of the present invention to provide a coke oven battery with mechanism automatically actuable during the coking cycle to control the gas pressure in the coking chambers, which automatic mechanism is simple and rugged in design and efiicient in operation. Hence as compared with the automatic mechanism heretofore suggested, the mechanism of the present invention effects a marked saving in initial cost as well as in maintenance expense.
In the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification and showing, for purposes of exempl fication, a preferred form of this invention, without limiting the claimed invention to such illustrative instance.
FIGURE 1 is a fragmentary view, partly in vertical section, and partly in elevation, looking at one side of the battery toward the collector main positioned along the length of the battery and shows the upper end portion of the battery; and
FIGURE 2 is a view partly in vertical section and partly in elevation taken in a plane passing through line 22 on FIGURE 1.
The drawing shows the upper portion of one end of 3,243,369 Patented Mar. 29, 1966 a coke oven battery comprising the battery superstructure 10 having therein at one side of the battery the ports 11 leading from the top of each coking chamber 12 into the uptake pipe 13 individually to each coking chamber at one side of the battery. As conventional, the coking chambers 12 are arranged in side by side relation separated by the heating walls 9. Each uptake pipe 13 has a heat insulating jacket 14 thereon. It leads from the top of its coking chamber into a collector main 15 extending along the length of the battery, on one side thereof. It will be appreciated that the present invention is applicable to all known coke oven batteries having one or more collector mains including batteries havipg collector mains at the opposite sides thereof. In the latter type of batteries the structure hereindescribed for a battery having a collector main at one side thereof is duplicated on both sides of the battery.
In the battery as shown on the drawing each uptake pipe 13 is provided with a gooseneck discharge end 16 disposed within the collector main 15 as clearly shown in FIGURE 2. A liquid-seal type valve 17 of a known type, such as those disclosed for example in United States Patents 2,424,865 of July 29, 1947 or 2,759,885 of August 21, 1956 is employed to control the flow of gas evolved in the coking chambers through each uptake pipe 13 into the collector main 15. One such valve 17 and its actuating lever arm 21, hereinafter described, is individual to each uptake 13 for controlling and throttling the flow of gas therethrough into the collector main 15. This liquid-seal type valve 17 comprises a valve pan 18 pivoted on shaft 19 for movement from the fully open position shown in dotted lines and indicated by A in FIGURE 2, through a series of throttling positions B, C and D, to the valve closed position E shown in the full lines, and back to position A. Such movement of the valve is effected by the mechanism hereinafter described actuating a lever arm 21 having end 22 fixed to the shaft 19 on which the valve pan 18 is mounted and having the opposite end 23 suitably counterweighted by a counterweight 24 which balances the weight of the valve pan 1-8 when empty. Lever arm 21 has a lug 25 for receiving one end of an actuating coil spring 26 hereinafter described in greater detail.
As conventional, each uptake 13 is provided with a spray 27 for spraying water or other liquid into the gas stream passing through the uptake. An additional spray 28 is disposed in the discharge gooseneck end 16 of the uptake for spraying water or other liquid thereinto. The collector main 15 is provided in its top with sprays 31 spaced along the length thereof; desirably one such spray is provided just above each gooseneck 16 of each uptake.
When the valve pan 18 is in the E or closed position, liquid from sprays 28 and 31 fills the pan to the overflow point providing a liquid seal which effectively seals the discharge gooseneck 16.
A shaft 32 constituted of one or more sections is disposed along the length of the battery at the side thereof adjacent the uptakes 13 journale-d for rotation in suitable bearings 33 on supports 34 positioned at spaced points along the length of the battery. Keyed to this shaft at spaced points along the length thereof are a plurality of actuating discsl35, one for each coking chamber and individual thereto as clearly shown in FIGURE 1. Each disc 35 has near its periphery, a series of spaced openings 36. End 37 of each operating coil spring 26 is inserted in one of these openings, as will be described hereinafter. For this purpose end 37 is provided with a hook so that it can be readily slipped into and removed from an opening 36 in the disc 35.
The description of the operation which follows will refer throughout to one and the same coking chamber during one coking cycle. When the charging of that chamber is commenced, its valve pan 18 is in the full open A position. Before commencing charging, the operator attaches end 37 of the coil spring 26 to an opening 36 in the disc 35 individual to the coking chamber being charged, which opening is in the position indicated by F in FIGURE 2. Since each control disc 35 has the openings 36 therein in side by side relation extending completely about its periphery, atleast one opening is always in proper position to receive end 37 of coil spring 26.
During the next 70? of rotation, a downward force is exerted which progressively increases slowly moving the valve pan upwardly through the B, C and D throttling positions v i Since the counterweight 24 balances the pan 18 when empty, little force is required to initiate the closing movement of the valve 17/ As the arm 21 moves in a direction to effect closing of valve 17, the counterweight 24 moves with it to increase the leverage exerted by arm 21 and thus aid in effecting the closing movement of valve 17 under the influence of coil spring 26. A
At or near the end of 270 of rotation of disc 35 when the spring exercises its maximum downward pull, the valve 17 is in the fully closed or E position. This corre sponds to the end of the coking cycle when the coking chamber is ready for pushing. The counterweight 24 is then in the full line position shown in FIGURE 2 where it exercises through arm 21 adequate force on valve 17 to maintain it closed during the pushing of the coking chamber. 2
The operator disconnects the end 37 of the spring 26 from disc 35 after the valve 17 has been moved to the fully closed position; this permits the disc to complete its rotation without interference between the spring 26 and the shaft 32.
When the operator is ready to effect recharging of the coking chamber the end 37 of the spring 26 is again attached to its control disc 35 as hereinabove described, after the valve 17 has been moved to its fully open position A; this, as described above, is done before the charging is commenced.
It Will be appreciated that by proper spacing of the openings 36 in the control discs any desired rate of throttling during the latter portion of the coking cycle can be obtained.
It will be noted that the present invention provides a coke oven battery with mechanism automatically actuable during the coking cycle to control the gas pressure in each coking chamber, which mechanism is simple and rugged in design, involving as it does a control disc, individual to each coking chamber, rotatable to make one revolution per coking cycle and connected with the operating lever for the valve controlling flow through the uptake by a simple detachable flexible connection which is readily attachable to the control disc to effect actuation of this valve.
Since different embodiments of the automatically actuated uptake valves could be made without departing from the scope of this invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawing shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
