High-efficiency thermal systems for glass melting

Advanced thermal technologies support superior heat transfer in glass furnaces, delivering more uniform temperature distribution across the melt and helping improve product quality while extending refractory life. Flat-flame geometry provides uniform heat distribution across the melt, which can help improve product quality and extend furnace refractory life. Reduced total flue gas volume and concentrated radiant heat can help burners cut fuel consumption in commercial retrofits. The adjustable staged oxygen design lets you better control heat transfer, flame volume and emissions to match your specific melting requirements.

Energy control and emissions reduction

Advanced thermal optimization technologies help reduce NOx formation in high-temperature furnaces while helping to improve heat transfer efficiency and helping to lower overall energy consumption. This technology helps you work toward your sustainability goals while maintaining the thermal performance your process requires. The combination of enabling reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions makes oxy-fuel technology an effective approach for glass manufacturers.
