Coke oven charging system

摘要

The present technology is generally directed to coal charging systems used with coke ovens. In some embodiments, a coal charging system includes a charging head having opposing wings that extend outwardly from the charging head, leaving an open pathway through which coal may be directed toward side edges of the coal bed. In other embodiments, an extrusion plate is positioned on a rearward face of the charging head and oriented to engage and compress coal as the coal is charged along a length of the coking oven. In other embodiments, charging plates extend outwardly from inward faces of opposing wings.

主权项

1. A coal charging system, the system comprising:
an elongated charging frame having a distal end portion, proximal end portion, and opposite sides; and a charging head operatively coupled with the distal end portion of the elongated charging frame; the charging head including a planar body residing within a charging head plane and having an upper edge portion, lower edge portion, opposite side portions, a front face, and a rearward face; the charging head further including a pair of opposing wings having free end portions positioned in a spaced-apart relationship from the charging head, defining open spaces that extend from inner faces of the opposing wings, which face the charging head plane, through the charging head plane.
