ABSTRACT:
A horizontal glassmaking furnace adapted for melting glass batch materials by the application of heat to them from overhead flames within the furnace is provided with submerged electric heating electrodes in a region adjacent to where glass batch materials are charged to the furnace and, while overhead flames are reduced or eliminated above the glass batch materials in the vicinity of the electrodes, the glass batch materials are melted from below by action of the electrodes; overhead flames are maintained above exposed molten glass where the glass batch materials have already melted. Discharge of particulate batch materials from the furnace by action of overhead flames is substantially reduced while the thermal efficiency of the furnace is enhanced.
