Amathematical model of regenerative heat exchangers (regenerators) with stationary refractory packing used for heating incoming air for combustion in the high-temperature melting units of glass works is examined. The calculation package developed with the model can be used to model operation of the regenerators in tank glass-melting furnaces using modern types of packing with a different packing chamber configuration for glass-melting furnaces with horseshoe and transverse flames in consideration of the features of their operation.
