| 20100101278 | END-FIRED FURNACE FOR GLASS TO BE FIBERIZED - The invention relates to an installation and a method of producing a glass having a low boron content, containing alumina or zirconia, the melting of the batch materials being carried out in an end-fired furnace equipped with regenerators, most of the fossil energy being introduced by the U-flame, the oxidant and fuel for which are introduced at the upstream face of said furnace, the oxidant being air or oxygen-enriched air. The melting compartment may be followed by a unit for fiberizing the glass. The invention makes it possible to produce fibers with an excellent combustion efficiency and high productivity. | 04-29-2010 |
