Abstract:

A rotary coke cooling drum is formed of plural opposed folded plates welded together and having spaced apart openings for receiving an array of tubular cooling pockets which are separately formed and are insertable in the openings to provide heat transfer surfaces and auger flights for traversing material through the drum. The cooling pockets are formed by opposed trapezoidal shaped plate members which are welded to each other along mating edges leaving one end of the cooling pocket substantially open and the opposite end is closed over a major portion by an end cap and a short section of drain conduit adapted to project through the wall of the drum shell. The cooling pockets may each have a locating and mounting flange or doubler plate secured at the open end of the pockets and adapted to be welded to the wall of the drum shell. The pockets are easily inserted in and removed from the drum shell for repair or replacement as needed.
