ABSTRACT:
In a continuous, fuel-fired glass melting furnace, a pair of substantially horizontal, longitudinally extending electrodes are provided in the molten glass closely adjacent to the sides of the floating batch blanket for supplying electrically generated booster heat to the underside of the batch blanket. The electrodes extend a substantial distance into the melting zone of the furnace through the fill end wall. The electrodes also serve as physical barriers that prevent the batch blanket from drifting into contact with sidewalls of the furnace. The electrode arrangement boosts melting rates with efficient utilization of electrical energy, and avoids furnace wall erosion and unbalanced melting conditions.
