Abstract
A front end for a glass forming operation including an open channel and at least one burner. The channel surface has at least one burner port and a burner oriented in the burner port at an acute angle relative to the channel surface. The surface may be a top, side or end wall and the burner port is at an acute angle relative to the surface of the wall.
Claims23
A front end for a glass forming operation, the front end comprising:
- a channel including a surface having at least one burner port therein;
- and
- at least one burner being oriented at an acute angle relative to said surface.
A front end for a glass forming operation, the front end comprising:
- a channel having a top and a pair of sidewalls each having a surface, said channel further having at least one burner port in at least one of said surfaces;
- and
- at least one oxygen-fired burner in said at least one burner port, said at least one burner being at an acute angle relative to said at least one surface.
A front end for a glass forming operation, the front end comprising:
- a channel having top and side walls each having a super structure surface constructed of refractory material, said channel having an upstream end, a downstream end, at least one of said surfaces having a plurality of burner ports therein;
- and
- a plurality of oxygen-fired burners, each burner extending through a burner port so that said burners extend at an acute angle relative to at least one surface and in a plane extending between said upstream end and said downstream end and perpendicular to said least one surface.
