The device has a displaceable washing lance (5) guided into an in-built housing (9). The housing is closed such that the lance is moved to and fro between a pulled rest position and a cleaning position. A sealing plug (4) is arranged at a container-sided end of the housing such that the plug opens a product chamber (1) during pulling of the lance. The plug and the lance are guided over a common drive (10) such that the plug is opened during pulling of the lance and closed during retraction.

Method for operating a coke-oven battery

Номер: US20040084293A1
Принадлежит: ThyssenKrupp EnCoke GmbH

The object of the invention is a method for operating a coke oven battery comprised of a large number of identical coking chambers, a raw gas receiver, and throttle devices arranged in the raw gas receiver for individually controlling the gas pressure in the coking chambers. The throttle devices each comprise an immersion bucket that is acted upon by water. The coking chambers are connected with the raw gas receiver by gas lines terminating in immersion pipes in the immersion buckets of the throttle devices. According to the invention, throttle devices are employed that comprise an overflow that can be vertically adjusted by an actuating drive for controlling the level of the liquid in the immersion bucket. For a coking chamber to which a pressure control device is allotted, the setting signals for the actuating drive allocated to the time pressure curve in the process of carbonizing coal to coke are recorded in the form of a position-time curve. The actuating drives of throttle devices that are allocated to coking chambers without pressure control devices are controlled according to the position-time curve.

365,934. Fluid-actuated valves; liquid-seal apparatus. STILL, C., Rec klinghausen, Westphalia, Germany. May 18, 1931, No. 14641. Convention date, May 19, 1930. [Class 135.] In coke ovens or retorts having a gas collecting space above the charge, and ducts in the charge from which distillates are withdrawn, means are provided for connecting the ducts with a gas collecting pipe, and controlling the flow of gas from the ducts by a resistance the amount of which is dependent upon the gas pressure in the space over the charge. Ducts 5 in the charge lead through tubes 6, 9, 10 to a junction 12 at the top of a pressure regulator 14 connected by pipe 16 with an hydraulic main 17 in which is maintained a vacuum of about 250 mm. of water. In the gas collecting space 4 atmospheric pressure is maintained. The upper part of the pressure regulator 14 contains water 22 constantly supplied through a pipe 27, and depending tubes 24 connecting with the gas inlet 12 are immersed in the water the level of which is varied by an outlet valve 32 the movement of which is dependent upon the pressure in the space 4. A float 30 on a spindle 31 carrying the valve 32 has its underside connected with the atmosphere by a pipe 48, and is supported by liquid 29, the level of which is maintained by an overflow vessel 38 adjustable on a hollow stem 40, discharge pipes 43, 44 being provided. A valve 37 serves for emptying the vessels 35, 38 and a pipe 18 communicates with the space 4 over the charge. If a vacuum of 250 mm. of water is maintained in the outlet main 17, and a suction of 110 mm. is desired, in the ducts 5, the depth to which the pipes 24 are sealed in the regulator 14 should be 140 mm., the water being discharged through the valve 32 at a rate corresponding with the inflow through pipe 27, and depending upon the position of the float 30. If the pressure in the space 4 rises, the liquid 29 falls, the valve 32 opens, and the liquid level in the regulator is lowered so that the effective ...

Cleaning process for removing material coated on the inner surface of an enclosed vessel. e.g., photographic emulsion, photopolymer, subbing layer, chemicals, etc., comprising A. forming a substantially continuous high pressure stream of cleaning liquid, e.g., water, solvent, B. supplying the stream of liquid at a pressure, 4000 to 8000 psi to at least one fixed point in the vessel, C. dividing the stream into at least two opposed paths, and D. directing the liquid onto said surfaces in a 360° solid angle using the fixed point as the angle vertex. The process is particularly useful in cleaning photographic emulsions but is also useful in removing other chemical materials and chemicals from an enclosed vessel.

Method and apparatus for cavitation-reagent cleaning of dust collector inner space of multi-cyclone type

Номер: RU2690930C1

FIELD: oil and gas industry.SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to a method and apparatus for cleaning inner space of various process equipment used in the gas industry, in particular to a method of cleaning the inner space of a dust collector of a multi-cyclone type from deposits, which are a compacted finely dispersed fraction of mineral and organic deposits. Method of cavitation-reagent cleaning of inner space of a dust collector of multi-cyclone type consists in the fact that a dust collector of multi-cyclone type, which is taken out of operation and prepared, is cleaned from solid deposits with scraper devices, chemical cleaning and hydraulic cleaning are carried out with subsequent removal of damaged deposits. At that, chemical and hydraulic cleaning of internal surfaces is carried out in aqueous medium of solution of surfactants under action of pulsating cavitation flow of collapsing gas-vapor bubbles and hydrodynamic power action of radially directed or actively-reactively directed jet flows on deposits of inner surface at pressure 15.0–30.0 MPa. After cleaning, aqueous solution of surfactant is subjected to contamination cleaning and can be used for filling of next dust collector of multi-cyclone type with surfactant additive to required concentration. Installation for cavitation-reagent cleaning of inner space of dust collector of multi-cyclone type consists of high-pressure pump interconnected on one side with line of low pressure of working fluid supply from reservoir or service water pipeline, and on other side with high-pressure line equipped with pressure gauge. At that, to generate simultaneously pulsating cavitation flow and hydrodynamic power pressure on high-pressure line, rotary cavitation generator with even number of cavitators is additionally installed. Cavitators can be active-reactive or radial-directed.EFFECT: higher erosion destruction of deposits and reduced adhesion of deposits with inner surface of cleaned parts.5 cl, 2 dwg ...
