Definitions
- the invention relates to a method of heating glass, in which method glass is led through a tempering furnace, whereby the glass is heated from above and below, whereby air is blown at least onto the upper surface of the glass to heat the glass in such a way that air is sucked from the inside of the tempering furnace, the air being circulated in such a way that it is blown back onto the glass.
- FI patent 62043 discloses a method of preventing the curving of glass.
- the upper surface of the glass is subjected to a heat flow by means of forced convection, which heat flow compensates for the heat flow from the rollers below.
- the forced convection has been provided by blowing horizontal narrow air jets in the longitudinal direction of the furnace, which provide a turbulence effect of air with an injector effect onto the upper surface of the glass.
- the air jets have been achieved by taking pressurized air compressed by compressors from a compressed-air network outside the furnace.
- FI patent 83072 discloses a corresponding method, in which the air blown as air jets is also circulated through the lower section of the furnace, whereby the air is heated during this extra round.
- the heat transferred to the air is taken from the lower part of the glass.
- the effect of the convection is rather low, whereby the method is rather ineffective.
- the air to be conveyed into the furnace is cold, so that it cools the furnace in its entirety, which increases the energy consumption of the furnace in total.
- a problem is the uncontrolled discharge of the air to be blown from the furnace.
- the emphasis in the method is on intensifying the heating of the upper surface of the glass at the initial stage of the heating.
- the total heating time of selective glasses is long, because selective glasses are, in any case, primarily heated from the lower part of the glass applying the radiation principle.
- EP publication 0897896 discloses a solution in which coated glass is heated by blowing air onto it from longitudinal blowpipes.
- the air to be blown is taken from a compressed-air network outside the furnace.
- the arrangement comprises a compressed-air tank which is provided with overpressure by means of a compressed-air compressor. Due to the compressed-air arrangement, the structure of the solution becomes complex and expensive. If cold air is blown into the furnace, it cools the furnace in its entirety, and thermal energy has to be directed into the furnace in some other way. Heating the air to be blown, in turn, requires a large amount of energy and capacity, so that what it comes to the energy economy, the solution according to EP publication 0897896 is, as a whole, poor. Further, the uncontrolled discharge of the air to be blown from the furnace is a great problem.
- FI publication 962158 discloses a method in which the surfaces at the lower side of the glass are cooled at the initial stage of the heating cycle, and correspondingly, the heat transfer of the lower side is intensified at the final stage of the heating cycle by blowing hot air directly to the lower surface of the glass.
- FI publication 962162 discloses a solution, in which the heating resistors are dimensioned and their control implemented in such a way that the heating resistors are many times more efficient, whereby the heating of the glass at the initial stage of the heating cycle may be performed by utilizing the upper resistors only. The methods are very efficient and well-functioning, but it would be desirable, particularly when heating selective glasses, to make the heating time shorter.
- US patent 4505671 discloses a solution in which glass is heated by blowing heated gas onto its upper and lower surfaces.
- the gas is taken from a separate gas source and heated with a separate heater.
- the solution consumes considerable amounts of gas from the gas source. Further, heating gas consumes energy. Increasing the amount of flowing gas and thus increasing the heat-transfer coefficient is in this solution rather difficult.
- US patent 4059426 describes a solution in which the glass is supported by gas jets and air is blown with a blower onto the surface of the glass sheet, the air being circulated back to the blower.
- this kind of solution does not allow the surface of the glasses to be subjected to a sufficient heat effect.
- the publication discloses a solution providing air circulation inside a furnace by utilizing the Coanda phenomenon. The air circulation inside a furnace does not provide a sufficient heat effect on the surface of the glasses either.
- An advantage of the invention is that since the pressure level of the air is fairly high, a high discharge velocity is achieved for the air, and at the same time, a very high heat-transfer coefficient on the surface of the glass is achieved. Since the air blown is hot, air can be blown directly as far as onto the glass surface and air can also be blown until the end of the heating cycle of the glass. Further, owing to the high pressure level and the hot air, high heat-transfer coefficients can be achieved with a small amount of air, whereby the pipe system of the apparatus is small and simple and thus there are no risks what it comes to thermal movements. Since in the solution the air to be blown is taken from the inside of the furnace, the furnace has no problems that would be caused by the discharge of excessive air.
- the amount of air and at the same time the heat-transfer coefficient can be increased basically without limits. Increasing the amount of air and the heat-transfer coefficient can be performed simply by increasing the size of the pressurization unit, whereby the heat losses of the furnace do not increase significantly. A significantly shorter heating time is achieved for the glass by means of the method according to the invention. Particularly when selective glasses are heated, the heating time can be made considerably shorter, because the solution according to the invention utilizes convection heating in a very efficient manner, and the radiation properties of the glass surface do not substantially weaken the effect of the convection heating. What is known as a heating profile can be created for the furnace by means of electric resistors, convection blowing having at the same time enabled the raising of the furnace capacity.
- a furnace provided with a heating resistor is very easy to keep in balance compared with for example convection furnaces where the intention is to implement the heating with mere air jets.
- the channel system surfaces in the vicinity of the glass get cool compared with the rest of the area and may cause imbalance in the furnace.
- the solution is very easy to mount afterwards, because the apparatus and its pipe system are small in size and simple.
- Figure 1 shows a schematic front view of a cross-section of an apparatus according to the invention.
- Figure 2 shows a top view of a cross-section along line A-A of the apparatus according to Figure 1.
- the glass 4 is moved forwards and backwards during the heating, in other words oscillated by means of the rollers 3 in a manner known per se, so that the supporting points of the rollers 3 can be made even all through the heating stage for the whole glass 4. In this way, deformation errors in the optics of the glass caused by uneven support of the glass are minimized.
- the air is supplied into the blow pipes 7 of the upper side from upper side delivery pipes 8.
- the upper side delivery pipes 8 are arranged at both edges of the furnace 1 longitudinally in the direction of travel of the glass 4.
- the upper side delivery pipes 8 are arranged at a distance of about 50 mm from the surface of the rollers 3.
- the upper side blow pipes 7 are attached to both upper side delivery pipes 8, whereby the pipes form a ladder-like structure, in other words each upper side blow pipe 7 is provided with air from both ends in the manner illustrated in Figure 2.
- the diameter of the upper side delivery pipe 8 is 40 mm, for example.
- the air is supplied into the pipes by means of a pressurization unit 10a.
- the pressurization unit 10a sucks hot air from the furnace along the upper side return pipe 11.
- the pressurization unit 10 sucks air from at least two points, preferably from the centre-line of the furnace 1 from the ceiling of the furnace from both ends of the furnace.
- the pressurization unit 10a pressurizes the air primarily by pressing, i.e. applying the compressor principle.
- the speed of rotation of the pressurization unit 10a is over 15,000 rotations per minute, preferably over 20,000 rotations per minute, and it may be for example a compressor resistant to heat or a turbine of a turbocharger.
- the lower side blow pipes 14 are supplied with air from lower side delivery pipes 15.
- the lower side delivery pipes 15 are located at both edges of the furnace 1 longitudinally in the direction of travel of the glass.
- the distance of the lower side delivery pipes 15 on the lower surface of the rollers 3 is for example 50 mm.
- the lower side blow pipes 14 are attached to both lower side delivery pipes 15, whereby the pipes form a ladder-like structure in a corresponding way to the upper side pipes, in other words air is fed into the lower side blow pipe 14 from its both ends.
- the diameter of the lower side delivery pipes 15 is for example 40 mm.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the air flow in the furnace with arrows.
- the aim is to make the glass 4 to heat as efficiently as possible, i.e. to make the heat transfer ⁇ as intensive as possible.
- the heat transfer ⁇ can be illustrated by the equation
- ⁇ T is T, - T aromatic
- Tj is the temperature of the air
- T is the temperature of the glass.
- the heat-transfer coefficient ⁇ depends at least on the discharge velocity, mass flow of the air, the diameter of the blow holes, the distance of the blow holes from each other and the distance of the blow holes from the glass, in other words it is the function of said variables, i.e.
- v is the discharge velocity
- m is the mass flow of the air
- d is the diameter of the blow holes
- h is the distance of the blow holes from each other
- I is the distance of the blow holes from the glass.
- the aim is a heat-transfer coefficient ⁇ that is as high as possible achieved by means of a mass flow m that is as small as possible. Decreasing the diameter d of the blow holes decreases the heat transfer coefficient ⁇ , but decreasing the diameter d of the blow holes also decreases the mass flow m of the air. When the diameter of the blow holes is below 2.5 mm, it has been possible to make the mass flow m of the air reasonably small without decreasing the heat- transfer coefficient ⁇ too much.
- the discharge velocity v has a fairly great effect on the value of the heat-transfer coefficient ⁇ , so that when the discharge velocity v of the air is arranged to be higher than 50 m/s, the solution according to the invention enables optimization of the apparatus in such way that the heat-transfer coefficient ⁇ is surprisingly rather high, and correspondingly, the mass flow m of the air is reasonably small.
- the drive motor 12a in connection with the upper side pressurization unit 10a, whereby the drive motor 12a is connected to the pressurization unit 10a either via a gearbox, or direct use may also be used.
- the drive motor may be a squirrel cage induction motor, for example, the rotational speed of which is controlled by means of an inverter 13a.
- a drive motor 12b the rotational speed of which can be arranged to be controlled by the inverter 13b.
- An object of the solution is to attempt to intensify the heating of the furnace 1 in such a way that the heating time of the glass 4 could be made up to about 25 to 30 % shorter in the case of ordinary glass compared with the present situation and up to 40 % shorter compared with the present situation when selective glass is heated.
- cold air is not considerably used because it would cause losses in the furnace.
- the capacity of the pressurization unit 10a and 10b may be 30 kW, for example.
- the capacity of the furnace rises more than the connected load, however, because not as much reserve needs to be taken for the resistor dimensioning as before but the power demand is more even.
- the glass 4 is first transferred into the furnace 1 by means of a loading conveyor 18 shown in Figure 2.
- the glass 4 is oscillated in an ordinary way upon the rollers 3.
- the temperature of the furnace is set to a temperature of about 670 °C, for example.
- the upper resistors 5 are on according to a pre-defined heating profile.
- the convection blow of the upper side is arranged in a maximum position, and the convection blow of the lower side is used at the efficiency of about 35 %, for instance.
