Development of Low Cost Glass Melting Furnace for Research Scale

Abstract:

This research is intended to study and construct a two doors electrical furnace. Two line of Kanthal AF wire were used as a heat source furnace. Insulator of furnace was constructed from light brick C-2. The volume of furnace was about 25x30x45 cm³. Quantity of current flow through heating element was controlled by solid state relay. Temperature of the furnace is measured by thermocouple type K. The result of test performance of the furnace show that the temperature of 1200 °C was obtained at 220 volt and current in heating elements of 15 A.
