TH695A - Liquefaction of glass periods - Google Patents

Abstract

Initial stage of glass melting The conversion of granular materials to a liquid state. Partially melted Will be done on the supporting surface of the installment While the period that has become liquid is drained from the surface. Additional installments are entered on the surface to maintain a sufficiently stable surface.

Claims (6)

1. Method for making the glass material period into a liquid, which consists of; In the container, the gap is round with the side wall. The end to the top and the end Bottom exit There shall be an inner layer on the inside of the side wall containing a stable layer of glass material; The loading of glass materials into the container at the inlet end to form a transient layer of the glass substrate on the stable inner layer. Heating the shelf channel to make the racks draw. The transient becomes a molten fluid which flows on the secondary layer in stable installments toward the exit and out of the container through the outlet opening in the exit end and the addition of a layer of transitional glass material by the period entry.
