Quenching furnace of dry-process quenching apparatus for coke

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE: To reduce the height of an apparatus and to quench coke efficiently, by a method wherein quenching chambers are adjoined to one another in a horizontal direction, prechambers are arranged in such a manner that they are put upon the quenching chambers, and a cooling recycle gas is transversely blown against coke which is transversely moved. CONSTITUTION: The main body 25 of a quenching furnace has a lower layer part 25A, where a plurality of quenching chambers A, A are adjoined to one another in a horizontal direction, and an upper layer part 25B where prechambers B, B communicating with each of the quenching chambers A, A are adjoined to one another in a horizontal direction. Further, the main body 25 is provided with a cooling recycle gas passage 31 which transverses each of the quenching chambers A, A. Red hot coke is introduced through a charging port 39 into each of chambers 35, 36, 37, in the upper layer part 25B. Then the coke is introduced into each of the quenching chambers A, A. The cooling recycle gas through a header pipe 33 is blown into each of chambers 26, 27, 28, 29 in the lower layer part 25A. The gas is nearly equally divided and supplied to each quenching chamber A, and is blown through the gas passage 31. In this way, coke can be quenched with high efficiency, and at the same time the total height of the furnace can greatly be reduced because the prechambers are arranged so as to put them upon each quench chamber.
