Predicted And Measured Glass Surface Temperatures In An Industrial, Regeneratively Gas-Fired Flat Glass Furnace

This study reports optically measured glass surface temperatures along the furnace centre-line in the combustion space of a sideport, 455 (metric) t/d industrial, gas-fired flat glass furnace. The measurements were made using a water-cooled two-colour pyrometer inserted through holes in the crown at six locations along the length of the furnace. The measured glass surface temperature data are supplemented by observations of the batch location using a specially designed, water-cooled video probe. The average temperatures were found to rise from a low near 1700K near the batch blanket to a peak of approximately 1900K, then drop to a level of 1800K.
