<p>There is disclosed a glass melting furnace (50,50a,50b,50c) having various forms of baffles (52; 52a-52c, 72a-72c; 52,72; 92,94; 102; 104; 110,118; 120; 140a, 140b) located within the melt for dividing the furnace into zones and creating extended flow paths within the furnace. This increases the minimum residence time of the glass within the furnace and thereby improves glass melting and refining.</p> |
