The Effect of the Conductive Walls of the Melting Tank of an Electric Furnace on the Distribution of Energy Flows

  • Published:
Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

A method for modeling the electric glass melting process, which allows obtaining information about the commonality of electric and thermal processes occurring in the glass mass inside an electric glass-melting furnace, has been developed. The melting tank of the furnace is made of electrically conductive chromium oxide. The study was performed by way of modeling using an EHDA integrator, which resulted in the construction of two versions of pilot electric furnaces with different orientation of the electric field lines and a pilot-commercial furnace capable of melting 7 t/day of E-glass, widely used in the fiberglass manufacturing.
