  • Patent number: 6064040
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for the localization or focusing of heating in a tempering furnace for glass panels. Glass panels are carried and supported in a furnace (2) by rollers (11). The furnace is provided with upper and lower nozzle boxes (4, 14), including nozzle heads (5, 15) for blasting hot convection air to heat the glass panels to a tempering temperature. The arrival of a load in the furnace is preceded by reading a load picture and by controlling radiation heat resistances (10) present in the furnace in such a way that radiation heating can be focused on the central areas of critical glass panels to provide extra heating therefor.
