Width of the coke oven towards coke side is slightly more than that on pusher side to____________________?
Correct answer: A. Facilitate easy discharging of coke as it swells during carbonisation
- A. Facilitate easy discharging of coke as it swells during carbonisation
- B. Facilitate uniform heating of the oven
- C. Increase the output of the coke
- D. None of these
Explanation
Coke swells as carbonisation proceeds, so the coke-side opening is made slightly wider to reduce resistance during discharge. This design mainly prevents sticking and facilitates pushing, rather than increasing heating uniformity.
