During carbonization of coal in coking chamber, the gas pressure of plastic layer gives lateral force (coking pressure) against oven wall. Gas pressure is influenced by characteristics of coal and bulk density, excessive coking pressure damages oven chamber wall.
And it is thought that clearance between coke cake and oven wall decreases by the effect of coking pressure. As a result, coke cake extrusion force is increased. Increasing extrusion force causes enlargement of wall pressure during coke cake discharge.
Those wall pressures have a significant impact toward coke oven, especially aging coke oven.
Therefore, obtaining knowledge about effectiveness and mechanism of coking pressure to extruding force is important for prolongation coke oven life.
We changed the gas pressure of coal blend and measured gas pressure of charging coal and internal gas pressure, at 40 years age commercial oven. Furthermore, we measured the displacement of oven chamber wall during carbonization, by apparatus able to accurately measure the width of carbonization chamber. This report described these result.
