Abstract
A one-spot coke quench car is provided with a coke pile dispersement means to evenly distribute the coke within the car to permit additional coke to be accommodated and as an aid in more uniform quenching. The car has a sloping conduit therein and an exterior water metering valve that is fluidly connected to a pressurized tank of water mounted on the quench car frame. A small quantity (about two gallons) of water is pressurized in the water metering valve which can be opened to allow the small quantity of water to flow immediately and almost instantaneously through the sloping conduit and into the pile of incandescent coke. The water suddenly flashes, explosively, into a large volume of steam, expanding rapidly to disperse the coke within the quench car so that it is more nearly level therein.
