Apparatus for evacuating emission of a coke oven

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6790899

A coking plant handling apparatus, for use with a coking plant having a battery of horizontally arranged side by side coke ovens with a quenching car trackway for a coke quenching car disposed alongside the battery outwardly of a coke cake guide car which is also movable along the ovens of the battery on a guide car trackway, comprises a stationary closed gas exhaust system which has an exhaust connection adjacent the quenching car. The support structure provides a support for a hood and a trackway for the hood adjacent the quenching car trackway and a structure is supported upon and movable along the hood support and trackway structure. The hood structure includes a first hood portion of vertically deep size which is adapted to be positioned adjacent a coke cake guide car in a position to overlie coke being pushed through the guide car into the quenching car. The hook structure also includes at least one additional hood area of shallow depth which is also connectable to the exhaust connection to cover a portion of the quenching car which moves beyond the first hood portion after the initial discharge of coke has been exhausted through the first hood portion. Coke is discharged from a coke oven through the hood structure into a quenching car and the hood structure is connected to a stationary exhaust which drags away the gases and dust. As the car is advanced, further additional glowing coke is passed through the first portion of the hood structure and the second portion of the hood structure is connected to the exhaust discharge so that the previously exhausted portion of the coke in the quenching car is further exhausted as it moves along.
