The invention relates to a method of cooling a cutting element of shears used to cut a string of liquid glass into glass gobs for the manufacture of glass objects, for instance glass bottles, in which method a string of liquid glass mass is taken from a glass melting furnace and cut into suitable gob-forming lengths with the aid of the shears, and in which the cutting element of the shears is liquid cooled. The cutting element of the shears is cooled with a cryogenic liquid which is applied to those surfaces of the cutting element which come into contact with the liquid glass mass. The invention also relates to an arrangement for cutting a glass gob from a string (3) of liquid glass in the manufacture of glass object, for instance glass bottles, the arrangement comprising two mutually co-acting cutting elements (2; 41, 42), coolant conducting conduits (23, 13, 11, 11') provided with a nozzle (51; 45, 46) effective in bringing a coolant into contact with the cutting elements (2, 41, 42). The inventive arrangement is characterized by a pressure vessel (14) which includes a phase separator (16) in the conduit line (23, 13, 11, 11') at a location between a source (21) for cryogenic liquid and the nozzle (51; 45, 46). |
