Abstract: A coke quencher car has a movable bed within a hopper that receives hot coke when pushed from a coke oven chamber. The movable bed is first elevated and then lowered to a horizontal position as coke falls into the hopper to more evenly distribute the coke therein. The bed may in some instances be fixed at an angle to the horizontal and in some instances the bed may be articulated and comprise a plurality of sections.

Abstract: A quenching track extends alongside of and away from a coke oven battery, and coke receiving apparatus is movable on the track to a remote location at which supporting structure for the coke receiving apparatus is located. Associated with the supporting structure is conveyor means onto which incandescent coke is discharged from the coke receiving apparatus. Coke on the conveyor means is quenched, and vapors arising from the coke during quenching are conveyed to a stack and are discharged to the atmosphere. Fumes arising from the coke receiving means during discharging of the coke are withdrawn into a gas scrubber and cleaned therein. From the scrubber the cleaned fumes are discharged to the stack and to the atmosphere.Various types of coke receiving means are disclosed, and various types of supporting means and arrangements of conveyors at the remote location are also disclosed.

Abstract: A coke quencher car apparatus comprises a receptacle that is similar to a standard quencher car, but having one internal baffle forming coke compartments, and a frame at each end thereof on which is supported metal curtain material. Each curtain is stretchable to cover one of the coke compartments during and after the pushing of coke is completed. The quencher car is connected to a traction car carrying equipment to remove and clean gases arising from the pushed coke in the quencher car and to move the quenching car.

Abstract: A shed encloses a coke wharf onto which hot coke is pushed, the coke cake passing through a coke guide into the shed. Doors in the shed are disposed opposite the coke oven chambers and each door is openable when a coke guide is positioned at an oven to be pushed. Deflector means are located inside the shed at each door that break up and spread the coke onto the coke wharf. Fumes that evolve from the coke on the wharf as it is being quenched are collected in a main. An auxiliary collecting main and hood structure are located above the coke oven doors, whereby effluent arising from coke in the chambers after the oven doors are removed are collected in the auxiliary collecting main and conducted thence into the collecting main.
