16th Conference on the Electric Glass Melting


Czech Glass Society

September 14, 2016 – Prague – Czech Republic

Modelling the effect of the released electric heat on flat, horizontal and vertical electrodes to the glass flow

Using electricity for melting glass is an idea almost 90 years old. Only use molybdenum electrodes around 1952 allowed the melting of high quality glass with acceptable economics.
Over the past 60 years are solved the problems with corrosion of the electrodes,  convection of molten glass, fining, furnace lifetime . In today’s local and time  excess  „green“ electric energy, this energy appears to be optimal for the melting of glass. It is necessary to solve other problems – behavior of furnace in the absence of cheap energy. This year’s 16th Conference of the glass melting will take place again in Bohemia, where the majority of special glasses and part of the packaging glass melts for 50 years all-electric, or with electric boosting.

 

The Conference will be held September 14, 1016 in the House of technology ČSVTS Praha 1, Novotného lávka  5 –near  Charles Bridge
