METHOD OF REPAIR OF A COKE-OVEN BATTERY, AND A PANEL FOR USE IN THE METHOD

摘要

"A method of repair of a coke-oven battery, and a panel for use in the method" A coke oven battery is repaired, during operation, by creating a screened-off working space which extends over at least part of one or more coking chambers. To this end, insulating material is applied against the side-walls of the chamber or chambers so that they remain at a relatively high temperature, to reduce the risk of crack formation on cooling. Repair is effected from the screened-off space. To improve the working conditions in this space, in particular to reduce the temperature to near room temperature, the insulation includes one or more panels which have a layer of insulating material and ducts through which cooling fluid, e.g. water, is passed.
