METHOD FOR MELTING BATCH MATERIAL IN GLASS MELTING FURNACE

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for melting a batch material in a glass melting furnace is provided, to increase the volume of a glass furnace and the melting velocity and to improve the quality and production yield of the prepared glass. CONSTITUTION: The method comprises the steps of attaching the oxygen burner(34) on the batch material(30) in the ceiling of the furnace(10); providing a flow of gaseous oxidizing agent into at least one burner(34); providing a flow of gaseous fuel into at least one burner(34); and generating flame from at least one burner(34). The flame(36) has a sufficient velocity enough to make the heat transfer be maximum while making the disorder of the batch material be minimum. The oxygen burner(34) is directed to cross perpendicularly with the surface of the batch material, and the range of angle is about 30 degree or less.
