Sensors For A Coupled Combustion Space-Glass Bath Furnace

Increasing environmental regulations with accompanying increasing pollution control expenditures impact the efforts of the glass industry to maintain the global effectiveness and competitiveness. Glass manufacturers must continually work to improve and expand products and reduce costs. To address these challenges, the glass industry will require technology developments that reduce energy expenditures, increase productivity while maintaining product quality, and improve performance to maintain environmental regulatory compliance. A key to enhancing glass manufacturing is to develop an analytical model that is validated, comprehensive and coupled for the combustion space/glass bath.
