Abstract

The present invention provides a cooling system for the inner surface of a flat glass panel, comprising a supply duct for cooling gas, a cooling gas distributor, and a conveying belt for the flat glass panel, characterized in that the cooling gas distributor is capable of directing cooling gas towards one or more locations on the inner surface of the flat glass panel that are to be in contact with the supporting poles of a stud-sealing machine. The present invention also provides a process for sealing studs on the inner side of the skirt of a flat glass panel and an apparatus for implementing such a process, both employing the cooling system of the invention.
