Abstract
A method of dry cooling red-hot coke in a vessel having an antechamber with a small discharge leading to a vertically elongated cooling chamber which is of larger dimension than the discharge and with both the cooling chamber and the antechamber having fluid cooling tubes in one or more walls and the ceiling thereof and also having cooling tube bank diverging downwardly from the discharge of the antechamber into the cooling chamber, comprises directing the red-hot coke to be cooled downwardly through the antechamber and into the cooling chamber so as to maintain a charge of coke in the cooling chamber to the conical charge cone of the cooling tubes adjacent the top of the cooling chamber which extends downwardly below the discharge, thereafter circulating a coolant through the cooling tubes to effect transfer of sensible heat from the coke to the fluid and directing a cooling gas from the bottom of the cooling upwardly through the coke and above the entire area of the coke charging cone and then into an exhaust duct to one or more waste heat boilers.
