The No.1 case of table 1 shown below be adjusted to than the high high-temperature-range of management temperature and temperature head in the case of the scope of 21 DEG C, No.2 case be adjusted to than the high high-temperature-range of management temperature and temperature head in the case of the scope of 55 DEG C, No.3 case be adjusted to than the high high-temperature-range of management temperature and temperature head in the case of the scope of 16 DEG C, No.4 case be adjusted to the high-temperature-range higher than management temperature and temperature head in the case of the scope of 47 DEG C.In each case, the bubble measured after melten glass is dropped into float bath after 20 days produces number (BOS number/m 2), bubble after 40 days produces number and the bubble after 60 days produces number.
The temperature making arbitrary case carry out about 10 days controls near top temperature, afterwards, experiences about about 5 days gradually to the management greenhouse cooling of target, after remaining on the management temperature corresponding with the difference of described temperature, measures bubble and produces number.
Bubble produces number (BOS number/m 2) measurement utilize lens to carry out the surface observation of obtained glass.
[table 1]
From the result shown in table 1, by the difference of temperature being attached to the scope of 16 DEG C ~ 55 DEG C, through certain number of days, bubble produces number to be reduced.
In addition, the rising degree of the temperature of No.2,4 cases be greater than No.1,3 the rising degree of temperature of case, therefore about the speed of the decay of BOS, judge large more effective of the rising degree of temperature.
From the result shown in table 1, when the temperature that the bottom outer surface temperature bottom outer surface temperature of drain pan being maintained drain pan when producing than glass ribbon is high, as long as high more than 15 DEG C, just can Results.This effect can confirm the example of 55 DEG C.
In addition, relatively can be thought by these, when the difference of temperature is higher, effectively reduces bubble and produce number.Therefore, think more preferably high more than 20 DEG C.In addition, the temperature being increased beyond 55 DEG C is also fine certainly, because the temperature of drain pan is also no problem in the configuration aspects of drain pan when reaching about 200 DEG C, and therefore also can by the temperature to 200 DEG C of the bottom outer surface of drain pan.But, when the temperature more than 200 DEG C, due to the fusing point close to molten tin, be therefore set to the temperature controlled upper limit by 200 DEG C.
The application is that the Japanese Patent of applying for based on December 26th, 2013 to be willing to 2013-270209, and its content is incorporated in this as a reference.
