A comparison between oil and natural gas fuels as applied mainly to cross fired regenerative glass furnaces is discussed. Reference is made to the different characteristics of heat transfer from oil and natural gas flames, particularly with regard to luminous and non-luminous flames. Factors which can affect the efficiency of the combustion and heat transfer processes with various methods of firing are mentioned from the point of view of furnace operation.
