  • Combustion method applied to melting materials such as glass in an end-fired furnace
    Patent number: 11161764
    Abstract: An end-fired melting furnace and a method of melting raw materials by an end-fired melting furnace are provided, where the furnace includes a melting tank, a melting chamber, first and second ports, at least one burner, and at least one auxiliary fuel injector arranged in the end-fired melting furnace in a roof or in first and second side walls so that the at least one auxiliary fuel injector introduces a fraction X2 of auxiliary fuel, in a direction of re-circulating combustion products, without additional oxidiser, into the re-circulating combustion products in a direction of a flow of the re-circulating combustion products, and with a chosen velocity such that the fraction X2 of auxiliary fuel mixes with the re-circulating combustion products before being combusted by oxidiser entering the furnace.
    Type: Grant

  • METHOD OF MELTING RAW MATERIALS SUCH AS GLASS BY A CROSS-FIRED MELTING FURNACE
    Publication number: 20200148571
    Abstract: A cross-fired melting furnace and a method of melting raw materials by a cross-fired melting furnace are provided, where the furnace includes a melting tank, a melting chamber, N first ports associated N first burners, N second ports, an auxiliary fuel injector for introducing a fraction of fuel required for melting as auxiliary fuel in a direction of a flow of re-circulating combustion products without additional oxidiser, into the re-circulating combustion products in the direction of the flow of the re-circulating combustion products, and with a chosen velocity such that the fraction of fuel mixes with the re-circulating combustion products before being combusted by oxidiser entering the furnace.
