METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPTIMIZING COKE PLANT OPERATION AND OUTPUT

摘要

The present technology is generally directed to methods of increasing coke production rates for coke ovens. In some embodiments, a coal charging system includes a false door system with a false door that is vertically oriented to maximize an amount of coal being charged into the oven. A lower extension plate associated with embodiments of the false door is selectively, automatically extended beyond a lower end portion of the false door in order to extend an effective length of the false door. In other embodiments an extension plate may be coupled with an existing false door having an angled front surface to provide the existing false door with a vertically oriented face.

主权项

1. A coal charging system, the system comprising:
an elongated charging frame; and a charging head operatively coupled with the distal end portion of the elongated charging frame; an elongated false door frame having a distal end portion, proximal end portion, and opposite sides; and a generally planar false door operatively coupled with the distal end portion of the elongated false door frame; the false door having an upper edge portion, lower edge portion, opposite side portions, a front face, and a rearward face; the front face of the false door residing within a false door plane that is substantially vertical.
