Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé de fusion à faible contamination de verre ou vitrocéramique de grande pureté, agressif et/ou à point de fusion élevé. Selon l'invention, une masse fondue est chauffée dans un creuset ou un creuset de fusion à fond de poche par un rayonnement haute fréquence et est mélangé et homogénéisé dans le creuset de fusion. De préférence, une tuyère à gaz prévue dans le fond du creuset libère des bulles de gaz, par exemple des bulles d'oxygène ( </= bullage de O2 >/= ) dans la masse fondue. On obtient ainsi déjà dans le creuset à fond de poche de fusion une utilisation multiple surprenante. Tout d'abord, un mélange non fondu, qui par exemple tombe d'en haut sous forme solide dans la masse fondue, est fondu plus rapidement par mélange avec une fraction fluide de la masse fondue. Ensuite, la distribution de température de la masse fondue est nivelée. Enfin, on obtient une distribution uniforme ou le mélange de différents constituants de verre et finalement on peut régler l'état d'oxydo-réduction du verre.
