Abstract
A method and system for coating a glass contacting surface with a thermal barrier and lubricious coating. The system uses a novel exterior surface mixing tip device wherein oxygen is supplied through a predetermined portion of one supply line, and a predetermined gas is supplied through a predetermined portion of another supply line enveloping the first predetermined portion.
Claims12
A system for instantly coating a glass making machine mold with a dense thermal barrier carbon coating, comprising, in combination:
- a glass making machine mold;
- an exterior surface mixing tip device selectively and movably positionable relative to said glass making machine mold;
- first gas supply means operably connected to said exterior surface mixing tip device;
- second gas supply means operably connected to said exterior surface mixing tip device;
- a predetermined amount of oxygen being supplied to said exterior surface mixing tip device through one of said gas supply means;
- a predetermined amount of a predetermined gas being supplied to said exterior surface mixing tip device through the other of said gas supply means;
- said exterior surface mixing tip device being constructed and arranged so that said oxygen and said predetermined gas mix with each other only at said tip of said exterior surface mixing tip device;
- ignitor means positionable near the tip of said exterior surface mixing tip device for igniting the gasses thereat to form a flame which deposits said dense thermal barrier carbon coating on said glass making machine mold;
- and
- said igniter means includes an exterior surface burner to ignite said predetermined gas and said oxygen at said tip of said exterior surface mixing tip device.
