Development of glass melting furnace using both plasma and combustion

플라즈마/연소 융합기술을 이용한 세라믹계 유리 분말 기중용해로 개발

This paper is suggesting about glass melting technology, using both plasma and combustion heat source. The mixed flame was formed to flow pattern of turning by plasma and combustion in melting zone. The burning time was extremely extended for vitrification of raw materials in melting zone, as a result, meting time was significantly reduced. This system was designed to smaller size than existing glass melting facilities. We had achieved to 30% energy saving, due to reduce residence time of melted materials inside furnace.
