摘要

A first process for installing a refractory burner block (24) in a glass furnace crown (11), comprising a refractory material compatible with the burner block refractory and the second refractory material, in the furnace crown and disposing the burner block into a hole in the crown block in sealing engagement therewith. A second process for installing a refractory burner block (24) in a hot glass furnace crown (11), which comprises a second refractory material different than the burner block refractory, comprises removing insulation (12) from the furnace crown exterior; inserting a refractory patch (23), compatible with the furnace crown second refractory material, in the vicinity of the removed insulation; drilling a hole into the crown through the patch; and inserting the burner block into the hole.
