Analysis of the energy efficiency of the melting tank of a glass furnace

.

The refractory materials' service in the melting tank of the highly-efficient glass-melting furnace

The performance data are presented for the highly-efcient container glass-melting furnaces. The service condition are defned for the melting tank's lining given that the pull rate being 2,5‒3,0 tons/m2per day and the specifc glass working being 7000‒8000 tons/m2per furnace campaign. The recommendations are given on the fusion-cast baddeleyite-corundum and vibro-cast sintered chromealumina-zirconium refractories using in the melting tank's structural units.Ill. 2. Ref. 18.

Limited Analysis the Operation Parameters of Float Glass Melting Tank and Flue Gas Desulfurization Correlation

The float glass melting tank is huge and complex equipment which the operation parameters are difficult to control in production line. The install of desulfurizer makes the kiln more complex and unstable. In present work, we fulfill the field experiments and obtained the optimal practical operation parameters. The obtained parameters were: aperture of wings gate: 75-85%; aperture of draft fan: 30-35% for draft fan 1, and draft fan 2 were through-type; aperture of conveying fan: 70-85%; temperature of gas into desulfurizer: 180-200°C; the water flow were controlled by thermocouple and diaphragm control valve; Velocity of gas into desulfurizer: 8-10 m/s. Our results provide the guidance for installing the desulfurizer and modifying the whole system in practice.
