Abstract

1381163 Glass melting furnace INGENIEURBURO GLASOFEN BAU NIKOLAUS SORG GmbH & CO KG 5 Jan 1972 [5 Jan 1971] 515/72 Heading H5H In a resistance heating glass melting furnace having means for feeding glass making ingredients to the top and a glass outlet passage 4 at the bottom, the main heating electrodes 6 are arranged in a plurality of horizontal planes, and the inner ends of the electrodes of one plane lie intermediate the inner ends of the electrodes of the adjacent plane or planes. This arrangement which ensures that the hot spots about the inner ends of the electrodes of one plane are vertically aligned with the cold spots between the electrode tips of the adjacent plane or planes, substantially prevents mixing of the glass in adjacent horizontal zones. Each horizontal set of electrodes is fed separately. The electrodes 6 may be of molybdenum, tin oxide, or platinum. Start up electrodes 7 are provided near the furnace bottom. As shown, each horizontal plane has three electrodes 6 fed with three phase current. In Figs. 4-6 (not shown) the upper horizontal plane has three equispaced electrodes whilst the lower plane has six equispaced staggered electrodes. In Figs. 7-10 (not shown) both upper horizontal planes comprise six electrodes arranged in three equispaced pairs. In Figs. 11-13 (not shown) which has three sets of electrodes the top and bottom planes contain three electrodes whilst the intermediate plane contains six electrodes. The energy supplied to the furnaces increases from the uppermost to the lowermost planes. One or more vibrating feed shoots are provided for the glass ingredients together with rotating stirrer arms. The stirrers and shoots are so designed that parts of the melt are not covered by the glass making ingredients thus allowing gas produced to escape.
