Fabrication of Glass Furnace for Research Scale: Case Study for Soda Lime Silicate Melting Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, glass furnace for research scale has been fabricated using domestic raw materials. Furnace was designed and assembled in laboratory for reduce the heat loss due to openings when load out crucible from furnace, reduce energy cost and increase the number of glass samples that can be made in one working time. Glasses based soda lime silicate formulas have been prepared using the normal melt-quench technique for furnace testing. The result found that good optical properties and physical properties of glasses were obtained.
