Abstract

See full text

A glass melting tank has a melting chamber, a shallow uniflow conditioning chamber, a shallow refining chamber and a riser chamber between the melting chamber and refining chamber. Heat is input to glass in the riser chamber by electrodes located centrally in the riser chamber near the base of the riser chamber. Temperature sensors sense the temperature entering the riser chamber through a throat and near the base of a downstream wall of the riser chamber and the heat input is controlled to produce torroidal flow in the riser chamber.
