  • PROCESS AND MEANS FOR THE TREATMENT OF GLASS OBJECTS
    Publication number: 20130224386
    Abstract: Plate glass, in particular soda-lime plate glass, is treated with potassium water glass in order to alter the optical properties of soda-lime plate glass, in particular its reflection behaviour. The soda-lime plate glass is thermally treated after application of potassium water glass in order to achieve additional hardening of the soda-lime plate glass. The treated plate glass can be used, in particular, for cover plates of photovoltaic modules.

  • Method of boosting a glass melting furnace using a roof mounted oxygen-fuel burner
    Patent number: 6705118
    Abstract: In an industrial glass furnace which contains recuperators, regenerators, electric boost or other devices for providing heat to glass batch material an oxy-fuel burner mounted in the roof of the furnace provides additional heat to melt the batch material. A method of mounting and using such a roof-mounted oxy-fuel burner including the operating parameters to maximize heat transfer while minimizing the disturbance of the batch material is disclosed.
