[0002] The coke oven is a core equipment for coking production, and is usually in a reheating form, and is equipped with two sets of heating systems of coke oven gas and high furnace gas to adapt to different production requirements.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, during replacement, the coking time is prolonged by at least 2 hours based on the normal coking time.
[0023] Specifically, during the replacement, the original standard temperature is kept unchanged, and then adjusted according to the coke chamber coke cake temperature and the maturation, and the coking time can be appropriately prolonged according to the furnace temperature, so as to provide sufficient time buffer for the replacement operation of the coke oven gas and the blast furnace gas. At the same time, prolonging the coking time can slow down the coking process of the coal in the coke oven, reduce the rapid loss of heat caused by the switching of the heating system during the replacement period, effectively inhibit the excessive drop of the temperature of the coke oven, help to maintain the required thermal stability of the coke oven, reduce the energy consumption and time cost of the subsequent recovery of the furnace temperature, and at the same time, ensure that the coke can still mature normally during the replacement period, avoid the influence of temperature fluctuation on the coke quality, so as to ensure the continuity and stability of the production before and after the replacement.
[0024] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the required coke oven gas consumption is 15000 m 3 / h, calculated according to the coking time of 20 hours.
[0025] Specifically, before the heating gas system of the coke oven is changed from the blast furnace gas to the coke oven gas, in order to ensure the safe and stable operation of the production after the change of the gas type, the required coke oven gas amount is 15000 m 3 / h, calculated according to the coking time of 20 hours.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, in S1, before the coke oven gas pipeline is connected to the steam or nitrogen, the coke oven gas pipeline is sequentially cleaned by compressed air, and the orifice plate is installed in the branch pipe orifice plate box according to the coke oven gas consumption, and the gasket of the orifice plate box is replaced.
[0027] Specifically, according to the coke oven gas consumption, the orifice plate is installed in the branch pipe orifice plate box, the gas flow of each branch pipe can be accurately controlled through the throttling effect of the orifice plate, the supply amount of the coke oven gas is matched with the heating demand (such as the coking time, the standard furnace temperature, etc.), the waste of energy caused by excessive flow or the poor heating effect caused by insufficient flow is avoided, the thermal state of the coke oven is stabilized, and the heating efficiency is improved.
[0028] Replacing the gasket of the orifice plate box can eliminate the sealing failure hidden danger caused by the aging and damage of the old gasket, ensure that the connection part of the orifice plate box and the pipeline is tight and does not leak, and prevent the coke oven gas from leaking In a preferred embodiment of the present application, in S2, at least three burst tests are continuously performed.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, in S3, the main pipe pressure of the coke oven gas is stabilized at more than 4000 Pa.
[0030] Specifically, single burst test may result in distorted results due to sampling bias, accidental errors or gas instantaneous state fluctuations. By at least three consecutive tests, accidental factors can be effectively avoided to ensure that the test results truly reflect the actual state of the coke oven gas, reduce the risk of misjudgment, and provide reliable safety basis for subsequent replacement operation.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, in S5.3, the single damper opening degree during coke oven gas heating is 0.5-0.55 times the damper opening degree during blast furnace gas heating.
[0032] Specifically, the appropriate damper opening degree can ensure that the combustion reaction in the flue is sufficient and stable, and reduce the temperature fluctuations caused by unbalanced air quantity. This precise control can make the coke cake heat evenly, ensure the uniformity of coke maturity, avoid quality defects caused by uneven heating, and thus maintain the continuity and product quality stability of the production after replacement.
[0033] At the same time, sufficient combustion can reduce the residual unburned gas in the furnace or pipeline, reduce the concentration of toxic gases such as carbon monoxide caused by incomplete combustion, and improve the economy and safety of the coke oven operation from the aspects of energy consumption control and safety protection.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the pressure at the fire hole is adjusted to 0-5 Pa by adjusting the flue suction and damper opening degree.
[0035] Specifically, the pressure range is a slightly positive pressure state, which can be adjusted by the cooperation of the flue suction and the damper opening degree to avoid leakage of coke oven gas from the fire hole due to too high pressure at the fire hole, and prevent external cold air from being sucked into the vertical flue when the pressure is too low. At the same time, this pressure state can ensure that the waste gas generated by combustion in the vertical flue is smoothly discharged, forming a dynamic balance with the supply of air and gas, ensuring that the combustion reaction is sufficient and stable, making the temperature of each vertical flue of the coke oven uniform, and thus ensuring that the coke cake is heated uniformly and the coke maturity is uniform, and finally realizing the precise control of the thermal state of the coke oven, improving the production safety, energy utilization efficiency and product quality stability.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, in S6, the coke oven gas regulating cock opening degree is 1 / 2.
[0037] Specifically, the coke oven gas has high calorific value and sensitive combustion reaction, and when the cock opening degree is controlled at 1 / 2, the gas delivery pressure and combustion demand can be balanced to avoid sudden increase in gas flow due to too large opening degree, or insufficient flow due to too small opening degree.

(3) Accessory preparation and installation: Prepare the coke oven gas orifice plate and install it according to the initial calculation amount, and replace all orifice plate box gasket. (4) Auxiliary system inspection: Check the steam access hole valve on the coke oven gas and blast furnace gas pipeline to ensure that steam can be accessed.
