For a trouble-free operation of the cole oven, it is essential to keep records of its temperature distribution. For this purpose FLSmidth provides several systems that make this possible
KOTA (Coke Oven Temperature Analysis) is a special instrument for temperature measurements inside the oven. The wall temperature is measured on the left side and on the right side in several different levels during the pushing process. Over a mathematical procedure a picture of the temperature distribution on the surface of the coke oven wall is mathematically determined and produced graphically from the line plot of the chamber wall temperature measurement. Through combination with software add-ons it is even possible to monitor the wall temperature in real time.
Especially instrumental in preventing damages is the visualization of hot spots. The temperature range which can be analyzed is freely selectable, so that you can represent also cold spots. These are highlighted with a coloured mark.
A built-in movie player shows the temperature development over a longer period.
With the so-called accordion view the user gets information not only about one coke oven but also about the neighbour walls in a single visualization.
HETA (Heating Flue Temperature Analysis)
Due to the increased needs concerning the analysis of the heating course temperatures and their measurement the module HETA was developed. This assistant supports the measuring personnel beginning from the connection of the camera to evaluating the measuring curves. A special feature is the readout of the pyrometer Kleiber 315K:
After this three-step procedure of reading out, assigning and editing, the values are stored in the database and the analysis module is opened.
For the visualization of the measurements the module "curve plotting" was integrated. There, apart from various visualization options within the curve plotting, also reports can be printed.
