Traditionally, recovery coke oven batteries are top charged, where the coal occupied the entire free volume inside the oven, using support of the oven doors. Oven temperatures play a significant role in controlling coke spillages as an increase in the temperatures of the end flues would burn the carbon and make the coke face unstable. Presently with stamp charge recovery coke ovens along with control of end vertical temperatures, the stability of the coal cake inside the oven is equally important. It is observed that coal cake rests on the oven door on the coke side. This leads to coke spillages.
