| The coking chamber accepts a horizontal bed of coal approximately 1M deep, 4M wide and 14M long through the front side of the oven. The crown (roof) of the coking chamber is laid in a bonded arch above the top of the coal bed. The air space above the bed allows volatile matter to be partially combusted to provide radiant heat or coking from the top down. Combustion air is added to the crown through dampers on the oven doors. The floor of the coking chamber has excellent strength, abrasion resistance and heat transfer properties. |
