Internal Wear Areas In A Furnace

The author of this paper identifies and comments on internal wear areas of the furnace refractory structure. For this article the fossil fuel, end-fired regenerative furnace for the production of container glass is selected, although some of the wear areas identified may be common to other types of furnaces. The author examines a number of internal wear locations of the furnace refractory structure in addition to those commonly known, which all become more pronounced throughout the furnace campaign life.
