Abstract
Abstract For the coking of brown coal, lignite or the like there is provided a coking system which includes a coking apparatus and an associated heater from which hot air is introduced into the coking apparatus. One part of the fine grained portion of the charge mixed with gases derived from the coking process is introduced from the coking apparatus into the combustion chamber of said heater to serve as fuel therefor.
