EIRICH FOCUSES ON ENERGY BENEFITS

摘要

Recent years have seen a large number of approaches geared towards increasing energy efficiency in glass production. Many have concentrated on improving the introduction of heat into the molten glass, e.g. with new burner systems, with the aim of melting more glass with the same energy input. It is becoming apparent that the type and method of batch processing has a substantial influence on the melting process and hence on energy efficiency. It is known in many industries that energy benefits can be achieved if the raw materials that are to react with other in the thermal process are distributed better and more evenly.
