REGENERATOR FOR GLASS MELTING TANKS

摘要

A regenerator for glass melting tanks for storing waste heat from combustion cycles and emitting the stored heat to oxidation gases supplied from the outside, having a gas-permeable chamber lattice in which the chamber lining is made of fire-resistant stones held together by lateral wall elements. A cover region is situated over the chamber lattice for the combustion gases entering into the chamber lattice and for the oxidation gases exiting from the chamber lattice, the chamber cover forming a flow duct together with a further cover segment, connected to the cover, limited by a downward-extending terminating wall that is connected to the burner throat and with the wall element. A segment of the lateral wall element between the flow duct running essentially vertically and the upper region of the chamber lattice is fashioned as an intermediate wall having a cooling duct system situated therein.

1. A regenerator for glass melting tanks, for storing waste heat from combustion cycles and for emitting the stored heat to oxidation gases supplied from the outside, comprising:
a gas-permeable chamber lattice made up of regenerative chambers having a chamber lining made of fire-resistant stones held together by lateral wall elements, having
an upper limiting surface and a lower limiting surface that are situated at a distance from a chamber cover and a chamber floor,a cover region being fashioned over the chamber lattice for the combustion gases entering into the chamber lattice and for the oxidation gases exiting from the chamber lattice,the cover region being connected to the glass melting tank via a burner port,a vertical cross-section of the burner port being situated at least partly underneath the upper limiting surface of the chamber lattice, opening into the cover region, anda further cover segment being connected to the chamber cover, which further segment upwardly terminates the cover region and is limited by a downward-extending terminating wall that is connected to the burner throat and that forms a flow duct together with the wall element, wherein a segment of the lateral wall element between the flow duct running essentially vertically and an upper region of the chamber lattice is fashioned as an intermediate wall having a cooling duct system situated therein.
