Improvement on heating efficiency of fuel in coke oven at CSC

A heat input management of coke oven, consisting of two subsystems respectively for setting propel coking time, diagnosing thermal state of coke oven in horizontal and longitudinal direction, was developed. It aimed to control the average oven temperature to the suitable level and to diminish the deviations of temperature between each heating walls. In subsystem 1, the measured flue temperature was corrected by a reversed cooling curve and compared with an ideal transversal profile. A precise thermal state of battery heating was therefore induced. In subsystem 2, with the measurement of gas temperature at ascending pipe, a coking completion table composed of production ratio, coal moisture and flue temperature was established for setting the target flue temperature. Since this coke oven combustion management system was adopted, the remarkable heating improvement has been achieved, for an example at Phase III, the average temperature of coke oven was decreased from 1262 degrees C to 1240 degrees C, the fuel was thus saved, the wall temperature was more even and the coke qualities were also improved.
