Regarding the height of the coke oven

It is generally done through optimized calculations: P

I’m also puzzled why no one is answering.

I want to learn * it too. Let’s reason about it: was the coke oven created first, or were the mechanical devices that could be used in coke ovens created first? It should be the devices that came first. Thus, the experts in coke oven design determined the relevant dimensions of the new coke oven based on the existing equipment conditions. The actual dimensions of the first new coke oven are purely coincidental, with some element of randomness involved. But as more ovens of this size became available, they were widely accepted by everyone. Since changing certain dimensions will inevitably lead to new design issues as well as problems related to the processing of equipment materials, the existing approach must be continued. This is how a coke oven of a certain size came into being. When the production capacity of coke ovens of a certain size could no longer meet the demands of development, new-sized coke ovens appeared, and the same scenario repeated itself. I venture to make some guesses for your amusement. Any similarities are purely coincidental. :lol

That’s a good question! I believe that the design of the carbonization chamber height is primarily based on two factors: the amount of coal loaded and vertical heating. By finding the optimal balance between these two factors, the aforementioned height value is determined! I estimated it once, and it’s more or less the same!

This question is similar to why the width of modern railways is what it is, rather than wider. It was the age of large machines; the width of the train invented in Britain was determined by the width between two horse buttocks, purely by chance!
