A charging hole cover sealing structure in which a disc-shape cover is superimposed over the charging hole and an annulus-shaped charging hole frame. The frame has on its top surface a peripheral medial groove and an inner planar surface. The cover has a lip with a terminal downwardly projecting peripheral tongue that engages the medial groove on the frame as the lip abuts its inner planar surface so that dual gas tight seals are established. A primary continuous seal is established at the point where the lip abuts the inner planar surface on the frame. The groove is filled with a heat resistant particulate material which will cause any coke oven gases escaping through this primary seal to be condensed so as to form a particularly effective sealant material made up of a mixture of the resultant tarry condensation with the particulate material. A secondary seal is thereby established between the tongue of the cover and the lid, and the need to manually apply a sealant composition to the charging hole cover is avoided. |

Frame has an opening therethrough and is positioned on a coke oven chamber ceiling with the opening of the frame aligned with a filling opening of the coke oven chamber ceiling. The frame has formed therein a recessed duct which surrounds the opening. A filling cover, adapted to close the opening, has extending therefrom a substantially annular projection. The duct in the frame has filled therein a displaceable material which is capable of being displaced by the projection, for example a pulverulent material. When the cover is positioned over the frame, the projection extends into and partially displaces the displaceable material, thereby sealing the cover with respect to the frame and closing the filling opening. |

A coke oven hopper truck is movable along a coke oven cover which has therein filling holes closed by removable filling covers. The hopper truck has supported thereon a lifting device including an electromagnet which lifts and lowers the filling covers from and into the filling holes so that the filling covers may be removed from the filling holes, whereby coal may be charged through the filling holes into the coke oven chamber. The movable hopper truck has supported thereon repositories for supporting the filling covers after they have been removed from the filling holes by the lifting device. The repositories are movable with the hopper truck along the coke oven cover. The repositories have therein recesses dimensioned to receive therein the filling covers. Cleaning tools such as scrapers or brushes are provided along the edges of the recesses, and the lifting device rotates the filling covers against the cleaning tools to thereby clean the filling covers. |

An automatic device for engaging and then subsequently turning and lifting off a cover for the charging shaft of a coking oven includes a horizontally extending support which is carried on a rotary column and which includes a drive motor thereon for rotating an engagement member through a clutch mechanism which causes the engagement and centering of a shaft cover and its rotation on a shaft seat in order to facilitate the lifting of the cover upwardly and away from a top opening of a charging shaft for a coking oven furnace. In one embodiment, the device includes a clutch mechanism which provides a centering of the cover and the holding of the cover in a centered position while it is rotated in order to facilitate the precise replacement of the cover in the centered position. The support is carried on a column which is mounted on a support or frame for rotary movement and which is guided for up and down movement in order to facilitate the lifting and lowering of the cover. The rotary movement of the column is effected by engagement of a roller follower of the column with a control cam which provides an accurate rotary shifting movement of the support during the upward and downward movement of the column. In another embodiment of the invention the engagement means for the cover on the support includes a magnet which may be energized to lift the cover upwardly instead of having a rotary cam arm which engages into open ends of oppositely directed angles carried on the cover''s top.

A controlled kiln and manufacturing system for biochar production, including control systems and subsystems. An example controlled kiln (100) includes a drum (200), a lid (120) and a floor (250) together forming a combustion chamber configured to contain feedstock for conversion into biochar. A catalytic converter (700) may be operatively coupled with an outlet of the kiln (100). A conversion process completion detection subsystem may be operative to issue notifications. An example biochar manufacturing system includes at least one of the controlled kilns (100), a feedstock filling station (1010, 1020, 1030) for providing feedstock to kiln 100, a firing line (1040) for receiving the kiln containing feedstock, a tipping station (1050) for receiving biochar from the kiln, a biochar sizing station, and an automated handler (800) configured to move the kiln between the feedstock filling station (1010, 1020, 1030), the firing line (1040) and the tipping station (1050). |

An adjustable chargehole closure for adjusting the closure cover of a charging hole in a coking oven chamber. The adjustable chargehole closure has as an inner frame for a closure cover, and the frame can be rotated both with respect to the closure cover and with respect to an outer frame, designed asymmetrically with respect to a vertical plane, so that the closure cover is displaced along a longitudinal axis when the inner frame is rotated in the horizontal plane. The position of the charging hole opening and the closure cover present therein on the ceiling of a coking oven chamber can thereby be changed without requiring construction measures on the ceiling of a coking oven chamber. The capability is in particular advantageous in order to match the position of the charging hole cover to the precise charging position of the charging machine. |

An immersion type seal for a standpipe opening of a coke oven comprises a standpipe which has a top part with top opening and an encircling rim around the opening which is closed by a standpipe lid and an annular seal frame interposed between the lid and the opening. The seal frame includes a lower peripheral edge which is of spherical shape which is seated on a ring disposed over the rim of the standpipe top opening and the seal frame is advantageously adjusted on the seating ring and clamped by means of tie rods which are disposed at spaced locations around the periphery of a flange portion of the seal frame. The tie rods are clamped between flanges of a top piece of the standpipe and the standpipe itself and the flange of the seal frame. The seal frame also defines an open top trough which defines a water seal and the standpipe lid includes an annular wall portion which extends into the trough. The standpipe lid also advantageously includes an inner annular wall portion which is adapted to seat on a ledge portion of the annular sealing frame. |

Patsie C. Campana |
A cover and cover assembly fabricated from steel plate for selectively covering an opening communicating with a coke oven and cooperable with seal rim sealing surface which surrounds the opening. The cover includes a knife-like sealing edge which engages the seal rim sealing surface to provide a primary seal therefor. An area on the cover peripheral surface is generally compatible with an area of the seal rim sealing surface for providing a secondary seal. In one instance, the knife-like sealing edge supports the cover in a manner such that compatible sealing rim and cover surfaces are slightly spaced apart from each other. Tar, pitch, residue and by-products of the coking operation which may by-pass the primary seal accummulate in this gap area at the start of a coking operation to complete the secondary seal. In another instance, the compatible seal rim and cover surfaces comprise shoulders which engage each other substantially simultaneous with engagement between the cover sealing edge and seal rim sealing surface. For some applications, an elongated cover handle is affixed to the cover and pivotally mounted to some structure adjacent the sealing rim. The handle also includes spaced apart cover contact means to assist in properly locating the cover in its covering relationship with the opening. At least some of these contact means may be selectively adjustable in order to accommodate any variations in cover alignment. |
