Glass furnaces: design, construction and operation by Wolfgang TrierTranslated from: Glasschmelzöfen: Konstruktion und Betreibsverhalten originally published by Springer-Verlag 1984Translated by K. L. LoewensteinThe technology and the underlying science of all furnace types are covered in this extensive study. It's objective is to not only deal with the glass furnace in its basic construction and mode of operation, but to include the relevant technical background knowledge. The book describes the technical criteria, descriptions and designs of furnaces; construction elements and typical dimensions; selection and use of refractories in glass tank furnaces; the operation of glass tank furnaces; the general behaviour in operation of tank furnaces; mathematical models of glass tank furnaces; electric tank furnaces; day tanks; pot furnaces; the fuels and combustion; waste heat recovery; and emissions from glass furnaces.
