  • Method for heating glass sheets, and glass tempering furnace
    Patent number: 9567251
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for heating glass sheets, and a glass tempering furnace. The glass sheets are heated by feeding them through a tempering furnace whereby the glass sheets are heated from above and below in the tempering furnace. The glass sheets are heated with blowing channels arranged substantially transverse in relation to the direction of travel of the glass sheets and with heating resistor rows arranged substantially transverse in relation to the direction of travel of the glass sheets. A heating resistor row has at least three separately controllable parts, and the temperature profile of the glass sheet is adjusted in the transverse direction by separately adjusting the different parts of the resistor row.
