SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COOLING SEMICONDUCTOR COATED HOT GLASS SHEETS

摘要

A system (20, 20') and method for cooling semiconductor coated hot glass sheets in a cooling station (36) within a vacuum chamber (24). The semiconductor coated hot glass sheets are conveyed between radiant heat absorbing members (112) of a radiant heat absorber (110) to provide the cooling. In one embodiment the glass sheets are conveyed vertically for the cooling and in another the glass sheets are conveyed horizontally.
