Title:
METHOD OF IMPROVING PERFORMANCE OF GLASS MELTING FURNACE USING CEILING MOUNTING TYPE OXYGEN BURNER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3913450
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the volume of a glass furnace and to improve the quality of glass.
SOLUTION: In an industrial glass furnace having a recuperator, a heat storage unit, an electrical boost or an other device for giving heat to a glass batch material, an oxygen burner 34 attached to the ceiling of the furnace gives an additional amount of heat for melting the batch material 30. The method for improving the performance of the glass melting furnace comprises thus attaching the oxygen burner 34 to the ceiling of the furnace and includes operation parameters with which heat transfer is made maximum while making the disorder of the batch material minimum. The oxygen burner 34 is directed so as to cross orthogonally with the surface of the batch material. The range of angle is about 30 degrees, preferably less than 10 degrees.
