Abstract: A device and a method are provided for regulating and controlling individual gas pressure of individual ovens of a coke oven battery, in the case of which a rising-pipe bend projects, preferably from above, into a collecting main. The lower end thereof is associated with an immersion pipe via a water labyrinth seal. The immersion pipe is supported such that it is vertically adjustable by means of an actuator, and an immersion cup is located preferably below the immersion pipe. The rising-pipe bend has arranged therein a sleeve, the lower end of which is connected via at least one conduit to the water labyrinth seal. A water supply for feeding the water labyrinth seal and the actuator are provided at the top, outside the rising-pipe bend. Regulation of the gas pressure is accomplished by different immersion depths of the immersion pipe and the constant water level in the immersion cup.

The gate member is configured to pivot around a pivoting axis to expose the discharge orifice and to cover the discharge orifice, respectively.

Abstract: A device for compensating for deviations from a coaxial arrangement of components of a regulating organ for controlling and regulating the gas pressure of a coke oven chamber includes a water inflow into an immersion cup having a water immersion that seals the free gas space of a coke oven chamber versus the exterior atmosphere. The level of the water immersion represents a regulation to control the gas pressure in the coke oven chamber. The regulating arrangement also includes an immersion pipe which at its end is submerged in the water and at this end forms a specially shaped crown pipe. The regulating arrangement also has a regulating organ to control and regulate the water inflow.

Abstract: A method is provided for operating a coke oven battery including many identical coking chambers, a raw gas receiver, and throttle devices arranged in the receiver for individually controlling the gas pressure in the chambers. Each throttle device includes an immersion bucket acted upon by water. Gas lines terminating in immersion pipes in the immersion buckets connect the chambers with the receiver. Throttle devices are employed that include an overflow that can be vertically adjusted by an actuating drive for controlling the liquid level in the immersion bucket. For a coking chamber to which a pressure control device is allotted, the setting signals for the actuating drive allocated to the time pressure curve in the process of carbonizing coal to coke are recorded as a position-time curve. The actuating drives of throttle devices that are allocated to coking chambers without pressure control devices are controlled according to the position-time curve.

Abstract: A device for controlling the gas pressure in a coke oven chamber, has an immersion cup, to which water is supplied, and with an immersion pipe which is connected to the gas space of the coke oven chamber and terminates in the, immersion cup. The immersion cup has an overflow and a closeable outflow. To control the liquid level, an outflow pipe for water is provided, the inflow-side end of which projects into the immersion pipe and contains casing-side inflow orifices for the inflow of water. Within the outflow pipe is arranged a slide which is open on both end faces and which closes the inflow orifices of the outflow pipe in the longitudinal direction according to the position of said slide and forms a vertically adjustable overflow for the water flowing into the outflow pipe.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for regulating the gas pressure in the retort of a coke oven. Pivotable cup valves arranged in the elbows of the ascending pipe are actuated as throttling members according to the pressure curve resulting from gas formation from the coal to be cokefied. Throttling of each individual retort is effected by varying water supply, thus regulating the extent of submersion in water, and regulation follows actual pressure conditions in the retort of the coke oven.

Abstract: In a gas dehydration system utilizing glycol in which a condensate skimming reflux column mounted on a gas fuel burner and heat exchanger unit separates and skims natural gas condensate off glycol in a settling tank-type reservoir, a fluid scrubber and separator interposed in series in a heat exchanger to reflux column wet glycol return line collects and transfers gas to the fuel burner.

Abstract: The flow of gases given off by a coke mass during the production of coke in a coke oven having a coke side collector main and a pusher side collector main is controlled by measuring temperature, pressure, carbon equivalent thickness and rate of carbon formation at selected locations. Electrical signals indicative of the temperature, pressure and carbon measurements are fed to an instrument system and into a computer where the measurements are compared to target values, processed and the resultant information used to control the flow of gases by regulating the gooseneck damper, standpipe control valve and/or the control valves which control collector main pressures.

Abstract: A body is provided with at least two cylindrical swirl chambers used to form a liquid spray cone for injecting charge gases resulting from charging coal to the coke oven, and a liquid spray cone for cleaning coke-oven gas passing through the coke oven ascension pipe. The swirl chambers are made of different diameters and each has a separate tangentially oriented inlet and a separate axially directed spray nozzle. The chambers communicate with one another through a by-pass passage to provide flow of liquid from one swirl chamber to another one.

Abstract: A gas conduit control system for a coking oven provides for sequential operation of a conduit cover and a seal on a transition element which communicates between the conduit and a gas collection main conduit. The system includes two pivotally connected shafts and two bell crank levers wherein the cover element is connected to one bell crank lever and the seal is connected to the other bell crank lever. One bell crank lever is slotted to permit linear movement of a first shaft without accompanying movement of the associated bell crank lever. The other bell crank lever is pinned to a lengthwise slot in a second shaft to permit lengthwise movement of the second shaft without accompanying movement of that bell crank lever. A hydraulic piston is an element of the first shaft which operates the system by extension and retraction.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of preventing generation of smoke from a coke oven including a plurality of juxtaposed and alternately disposed combustion chambers and carbonization chambers so that the carbonization chambers are heated by heat generated in adjacent combustion chambers and exhaust gas is exhausted from the combustion chambers through a common smoke duct and a chimney, the exhaust gas is passed through a common exhaust gas duct including a dust collector for a predetermined interval after loading raw material coal into the carbonization chambers. At the end of this interval, the exhaust gas is again passed through the common smoke duct.
