Description
Summary:Coking with low moisture coal is an important link of energy conservation and coke quality improvement in the coking industry. Aiming at the problems of dust emission and bad accumulation in the coking chamber during coal charging, a new system of coking coal charged into 6 m top-charge coke oven was studied and designed, in which a cylinder with telescopic and high temperature resistance was used to fill the coking chamber with a dense phase continuous flow. The coal transport characteristics, dust emission, and accumulation characteristics were studied through the actual operation of the equipment. The results found that the matching of spiral feeding speed and cylinder lifting speed had an important influence on the transport characteristics, when moisture was 5%, and the control dense phase transport conditions were—cylinder lifting speed of 0.02 m/s and spiral feeding speed control range of [0.31 m/s, 0.50 m/s]. The new device was found to reduce dust emission by 90% per square meter, compared to the traditional. The influence of controllable factors on the accumulation characteristics of coal was studied, and the essential conditions for optimal repose angle and bulk density were obtained through an orthogonal test, the prediction model of accumulation characteristics was established.
