SUPPORT MEANS FOR THE PAD OF UNDERJET COKE OVEN BATTERIES

摘要

The invention relates to underjet coke oven batteries and refers particularly to the support for a battery decking which is positioned above a cellar. The battery decking is supported on a foundation slab and supply ducts carrying gaseous combustion media to the heating flues of the heating walls extend through the battery decking. Elements for regulating the gas flow are provided in each individual supply duct and are adapted for actuation from the cellar. There are provided support walls of reinforced concrete extending parallel to the longitudinal orientation of the ovens for supporting the battery decking, the reinforcement of the aforementioned concrete being bonded into the reinforcement of the foundation slab on which the battery decking bears directly by means of expansion joints which are filled with slip plates. The arrangement makes due allowance for thermal expansion in the construction and supporting of the battery decking.
