Controllable air ducts for feeding of additional combustion air into the area of flue gas channels of coke oven chambers

A device for feeding and controlling secondary air from secondary air ducts into flue gas channels of horizontal coke oven chambers is shown. The flue gas channels are located underneath the coke oven chamber floor on which coal carbonization is realized. The flue gas channels serve for combustion of partly burnt coking gases from the coke oven chamber. The partly burnt gases are burnt with secondary air, thus heating the coke cake also from below to ensure even coal carbonization. Secondary air comes from the secondary air ducts connected to atmospheric air and to the flue gas channels. Controlling elements are mounted in the connecting channels between the flue gas channels and secondary air ducts which can precisely control the air flow into the flue gas channels. Thereby, it is possible to achieve a much more regular heating and heat distribution in coke oven chambers. The actual controlling devices in the connecting channels can be formed by turnable pipe sections, wall bricks, or metal flaps. It is particularly advantageous to utilize a hump-like facility (tabouret) which sits in the secondary air ducts and which is comprised of a tabouret plate with a central opening that is slid under the corresponding embranchment to regulate the gas stream. The controlling mechanism can be actuated manually, electrically, or pneumatically. Thereby, the controlling device can also be automated.

Method and Means for Controlling Power Delivery to an Equipment for Counter-Acting Formation of Ice or for Removing Snow/Ice on a Constructional Element

In order to remove snow or ice from an exposed constructional element (1) by means of electric current in a heat emission equipment (3), the supply of power is controlled by way of a controller (13) operating based on physical parameter values as measured by sensors (4, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19) at the constructional element (1) and based on historical data relating to snow and ice conditions. The input data are the effective surface temperature of the constructional element (1) as well as the amount of snow / ice on the constructional element (1), air temperature, wind velocity, precipitation, velocity of the constructional element (1), and vibrations thereof. These input data are compared to stored historical data in the controller (13). The controller (13) then calculates, using stored algorithms, whether the supply of power is necessary, and in that case also the necessary amperage and frequency values, the frequency affecting a time constant of change in the surface temperature of the constructional element. The controller then provides a start or stop signal as well as an output control signal to power supply equipment (11), and the controller then updates its historical data with new data. Preferably, the invention is used on the blades of a wind turbine.
