Larry car for a coking oven battery
A larry car (3) for transporting a charge of pre-heated coal along the top of a battery of coke ovens, from a storage installation including a group of metering bins (1) at one or more filling stations above the battery, to a corresponding group of charge holes for the oven chamber to be charged, the car including a corresponding group of coal transfer hoppers (4) each having valved inlet and discharge apertures (5,21), a sealed connection (2) between each metering bin and transfer hopper, an inert gas reservoir (10) connectable via a valved manifold (13,14) to each transfer hopper, a valved connection (7,8,9) for charging the reservoir, and a valved connection (15,16,17) to permit dusty gas to be displaced into the storage bunkers, and control means for the various valved connections to maintain continuous isolation of the interior of each transfer hopper from the atmosphere, to permit dust-laden gases to escape into the storage installation, and to cause inert medium to displace coal discharged from the transfer hoppers.
