Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to a method of and apparatus for charging coal into a coking furnace unit and, more particularly, it concerns an arrangement wherein the emission of gases, soot, dust and the like from the furnace chambers into the atmosphere is kept at a minimum.
  • Another similar device is a movable bunker outlet pipe which is smaller in diameter than the opening in the furnace casing so that it can extend into the opening.
  • a movable bunker outlet pipe which is smaller in diameter than the opening in the furnace casing so that it can extend into the opening.
  • Such a device is provided with a telescopic sheath spaced outwardly from the pipe which can be attached to a flange or other sealing element on the exterior of the furnace structure and a vent is connected to the sheath to conduct the dust containing charging gases into a washing or irrigating plant and from there through a chimney into the atmosphere or, alternatively, to combine the collected gases with the gases within the furnace to assist in the coking operation.
  • the fine solid particles do not settle out in the tanks in the same manner as does the coke or ash particles in the coke-quenching water. Rather, the fine solid particles remain suspended in the quenching water and when this water is used again, the particles are carried into the atmosphere along with the quenching smoke. Accordingly, rather than avoiding the discharge of these particles in the atmosphere, the point of discharge is merely transferred to another point in the method, that is, instead of from the coking chamber the particles are emitted from the quenching tower.
  • the rod has been constructed of a pair of spaced side members connected by transverse bars with the rod inserted into the furnace through a pipe or sleeve which is attached to the opening by means of a flange or the like.
  • brushlike linings have been provided on the interior of the sleeve and further, the transverse bars within the levelling rod have been arranged so that at least one of them is always located within the sleeve during the levelling operation and prevents the escape of charging gases from the furnace.
  • Another object of the invention is to prevent any fouling of the gas preparation plant.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a simple arrangement of apparatus for affording the desired charging operation.
  • a further object of the invention is to carry out the charging operation within a predetermined period of time and to arrange a proper sequence of the operations so that the maximum efficiency is obtained while maintaining, to a minimum, the loss of any pollutants to the atmosphere.
  • the supply of coal into the furnace chambers is effected by maintaining the charging periods to between 2 to 6 seconds per ton of coal supplied. Moreover, in each of the charging bunkers a supply of coal is maintained at the outlet to act as a gas seal against the free atmosphere in a manner which is known in the art.
  • the movable support for the bunkers is positioned over the individual inlets to the furnace chambers, and covers are provided at the inlets to provide them with a gastight closure. When a bunker is positioned to charge into a particular inlet, the cover is removed and displaced laterally so that the lower end of the bunker can be moved downwardly into sealtight contact with the casing of the furnace at the inlet.
  • the coal is charged into the furnaces in a predetermined sequence and when the charging operation is completed the movable outlet parts of the bunker are removed individually from the inlets so that only one inlet is exposed to the atmosphere at a time. As soon as the connection between the bunker and the inlet is removed, the inlet cover is replaced to limit, as much as possible, the time period during which the inlet is open to the atmosphere.
  • a discharge funnel member is articulated to the bunker and is displaceable both laterally or horizontally and vertically to assure proper alignment with the inlet to the furnace chamber though the bunker itself may not be in exact alignment with the inlet.
  • a levelling rod is introduced into the furnace chambers for levelling the coal.
  • the introduction of the levelling rod is arranged to provide a seal against any passage either inwardly or outwardly of gases through the sleeve which guides the levelling rod into the furnace chamber.
  • Another feature of the invention is the maintenance of a partial vacuum of between 2-6 mm. of water column in the riser leading from the furnace chambers for properly withdrawing gases during the charging operation.
  • a movable support or vehicle for the charging operation according to the present invention in which charging hoppers of funnels are dependently supported below the charging bunkers, has been suggested in the German patent application G 36944 Vlb/ a.
  • the outlet funnels of these charging bunkers hang from a double suspension and they cannot be canted; they attach perpendicularly and tightly on the outer casing of the furnaces even if the axes of the openings through the outer casing and the charging hoppers are not in perfect alignment.
  • a levelling rod which has been known and consists of a pair of side members interconnected by transverse bars having the same height as the side members.
  • the levelling rod is contained within a sleeve which effects a sealing action at the point at which the levelling rod enters into the furnace.
  • the interior lining of the sleeve is provided with brushlike formations to improve the sealing effect.
  • the length of the sleeve is adapted to the construction of the levelling rod so that at least one of the transverse bars is always positioned within the sleeve as the levelling rod is inserted into the furnace to provide a block or seal against the loss of gases and the like.
  • the continuous controlled removal of the charging gases is insured by the fact that the levelling operation is commenced after approximately two-thirds of the coal has been supplied into the furnace chamber.
  • the bunkers are emptied successively in such a way that no gas accumulations can develop in the furnace chamber.
  • the outer charging bunkers are emptied first and then the next two inwardly positioned bunkers supply the coal into the furnace chamber and finally the centrally located bunker or bunkers completes the filling operation.
  • a support track is mounted exteriorly of the furnace chamber casing and a car is mounted on the track which, when moved outwardly from the casing, opens the entrance for the levelling rod so that a clear opening is provided for introducing the levelling rod into the furnace chamber.
  • FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view through a coking furnace and a coal-charging apparatus in accordance with the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view illustrating the manner of introducing a levelling rod into the coking furnace shown in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is partial vertical diagrammatic showing through the coking furnace indicating the way in which the levelling rod is inserted while maintaining a sealed connection.
  • furnace chamber 1 of a multichamber coking furnace assembly is shown.
  • Structural supports 2 from the exterior of the furnace casing on which a platform 3 supports a receiver 4 in communication with the interior of the furnace chamber 1.
  • Distillation products, generated within the furnace chamber pass through an outlet 5, a riser 6 and an elbow 7 and then into the receiver 4.
  • the riser 6 has a cover 8.
  • a steam conduit 9 extends along the top of the furnace casing and branch lines 10 extend upwardly from the steam conduit and are connected by means of a fitting 12 and nozzles 101 into the riser 6.
  • a valve 11 is located in the branch line 10 for regulating the flow of steam into the riser.
  • FIG. 1 Extending upwardly from the furnace casing and only partly indicated in FIG. 1 is a coal tower 13 having a number of discharge chutes l4 spaced across its top section.
  • a pair of longitudinally extending, spaced rails 15 are provided on which a movable support structure 17 is mounted by means of wheels 16.
  • the traveling support member is provided with a support member 18 on which are mounted two outside bunkers 19a and three interior bunkers 19b. It will be noted that certain of the bunkers are partly conical and partly rectilinear intermediate the upper and lower ends while others are frustoconical for their midportion.

Since the outside diameter of the lower opening from the bunker is con siderably less than the upper end of the discharge funnels 23, there is considerable tolerance for movement of the discharge funnel in the horizontal direction. Moreover, the pendulum suspension of the discharge funnel permits considerable liberty in its movement.
