Operation of the extreme heating channels in coke batteries

Revealing the patterns of change in the technical condition of refractory elements in thermal units during operation

“…However, as a result of the complexity of the units' design, and the multifactor nature of the destroying influence, the issue of defect occurrence in refractory elements, as well as their destruction, has remained relevant up to now. Extensive studies into the causes and mechanisms of destruction of the refractory masonry of coke oven batteries were reported in [3,4,29,32,[35][36][37].…”
