Glassman Paper by Bock Energietechnik: Electrical Heating of Forehearths and Practical Experiences

At Glassman USA, Bock Energietechnik presented a paper decicated on Electrical Heating of Forehearths and Practical Experiences.Bock Energietechnik representative in USA is Mr. David Boothe, President of Allstates Refractory Contractors, who held this paper on September 12. 2013The following abstract will give you an impression what to expect:This paper describes methods of heating a forehearth from the entrance to the feeder. In addition, heating modes, executed in different systems via direct heating through the use of in glass electrodes or indirect heating with radiant heating elements will be presented.Particular attention is drawn to different types of electrodes; cooling and non-cooled modes. Various types of circuit designs and the power distribution will be shown. Included, are descriptions of practical experiences and examples of different types of forehearths. Various methods of glass production for example fiber glass or lead crystal glass will be presented. Additionally, how to predict results through the use of mathematical models will be discussed.To download the paper please click here 27.09.2013, Bock Energietechnik
