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.

Techniques for generating reactions on surfaces that can operate at room temperature and pressure with visible laser light as a radiation source and environmentally sound gases for processing. The apparatus is highly compact, simple, reliable and low cost to operate and maintain, and can dry clean and condition surfaces without causing damage or leaving a residue. Gas is injected at one end of a plenum, directed through the plenum in the presence of the laser radiation, and exhausted at the other end. The plenum creates a highly confined space for directional laminar movement of gas, laser light and by-products, permitting a high degree of uniformity and reaction efficiency. Minimal internal surface area and volume of the reactor prevents by-products from forming, eliminating costly cleaning and downtime.
