    摘要: The invention provides a method and apparatus for equalizing the temperature of molten glass (2) over the cross-section of a stream thereof advancing through a refractory forehearth from a glass furnace to a glass working machine. To this end, cooling air is blown downwardly to strike the mid-line of the stream, and is then evacuated upwardly from locations on either side of the mid-line, in such manner that substantial side regions of the stream surface are preserved from cooling contact with the cooling air. Apparatus for this purpose comprises refractory blocks (4a, 4b) which can be assembled to form a forehearth superstructure or roof, the blocks having hollow formations which unite on assembly thereof to form feed (11) and return (12, 13) channels for the cooling air, as well as inlet (8) and exhaust (9, 10) ducts for directing it at the molten glass and recovering it thereafter.

    摘要: A forehearth for a glass furnace includes a roof formed of a plurality of roof blocks designed to provide below the roof blocks a central longitudinal channel and side channels on each side of the central channel. An electric heating element is positioned in a bore in the roof blocks substantially directly above the side channels to permit radiation of heat to the glass surface above the side channels. The temperature of the molten glass utilizing the construction can be effectively uniformly controlled across its cross-section.

    摘要: A process and installation for heating a channel in which flows a mass of molten glass toward one or more forming machines. The channel includes a vault which carries at least one group of oxyfuel burners connected to a source of oxygen and to a source of fuel gas, these burners being so oriented as to produce curtains of flames directed towards the longitudinal marginal zones of the surface of the stream of molten glass.

    摘要: A centerline cooled forehearth for conditioning molten glass, wherein the sides of the flow channel of the forehearth are provided with external sheets of insulation. The channel is covered by a roof having vertical vents therethrough along the centerline with the usual burner blocks and burners spaced along the sides of the upper edge of the channel. Flue blocks are positioned immediately above the burner blocks, and their lower surfaces extend toward the centerline of the channel a greater extent than the burners, thereby serving as reflectors for the heat from the burners along the side walls of the channel.

    摘要: The temperature of molten glass conveyed by means of a forehearth between a melting furnace and a discharge orifice in a bowl remote from the furnace is controlled and adjusted thermally by a method that includes an abrupt bottom-zone temperature reduction step in the immediate proximity of the entry of the glass from the furnace to the forehearth cooling zone to a temperature approximately equal to but above a predetermined gob temperature; next the step of blending and homogenizing the cooling glass as it enters the conditioning zone in its downstream movement; and while avoiding above-surface heating during conditioning, subjecting the glass stream only to mild Joule-effect, below-surface heating applied in a controlled manner to accomplish temperature normalization and homogeneity throughout the stream whereupon the glass is delivered to the discharge orifice at a specified temperature.

    摘要: A forehearth for a glass furnace includes a roof having a plurality of longitudinal ridges depending therefrom. These define a central longitudinal channel lengthwise of which a current of cooling air flows between inlet and outlet ports to cool the central, hottest portion of the current of glass in the forehearth, and side channels which, optionally with burners or heaters, serve to reheat the portions of the glass current at the longitudinal edges of that current.
