Abstract: Glass is melted in a furnace having a melting zone and one or more processing zones adjacent to the melting zone. A volume of molten glass is caused to flow from the melting zone to the processing zone in a volume which exceeds the volume of glass withdrawn from the processing zone. The excess volume of glass is returned to the melting zone or to a separate refining zone. The furnace includes a melting section and at least one adjacent processing tank communicating with the melting section through a passage. A recirculating passage is provided between the processing tank and the melting section and additional means are provided to establish a circulating flow of molten glass via the recirculating passage.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for indirectly heating glass-carrying channels or passages, feeders and feeder heads, and to an apparatus for carrying out such method.

Abstract: A glass melting furnace having a melting section and an adjacent refining section. The two sections are interconnected by a step or barrier which reduces the cross-sectional area of the furnace. The refining section has at least one plane of a plurality of electrodes immersed in the molten glass mass thru which energy is supplied to the molten glass mass. A refining zone is positioned below the region containing the electrodes from which refined glass is discharged thru an outlet therein.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of melting glass, whereby in a glass melting furnace having electrodes positioned in a plurality of levels or planes the glass is melted in a vertical passage and thereafter discharged via an outlet passage at the bottom of the furnace, while the glass stream, after its upward flow, flows vertically downwards under mechanical agitation, thereafter to flow upwards for further processing or treatment. The glass stream may be additionally heated by electrical energy during its upward flow prior to the agitation.
