摘要

Glass conditioning method, for use with a tank furnace or forehearth, with optimal use of energy, comprises controlling the speed of flow (6) and initial temperature (7) of the glass melt according to the type of glass it contains. The operating parameters of the burners or heating electrodes (8) are controlled to produce tempering with minimal energy consumption.
