GLASS MELTING FURNACE Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC C03B3/00 

FIELD: furnaces.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to glass-melting furnaces. Glassmaking furnace contains a melting chamber of the furnace, which is made with possibility of containing glass mass, having a top surface, a glass batch loader, a partition and a heater. Glass batch loader comprises a conveyor configured to receive the glass batch and feed said glass batch into the melting chamber of the furnace below the level of the upper surface of the glass mass. Partition is located upstream of the melting chamber and downstream of the conveyor at the end of the conveyor and forms a well. Well is located upstream of the melting chamber. Upper part of the partition is located below the melting level in the melting chamber of the furnace. Heater is located in the well and is made with possibility of heating of the glass batch before its flowing over the partition. Conveyor is located below glass melt upper surface in melting chamber. Conveyor is configured to supply said glass batch to lower part of well for partial melting by heater to inlet to melting chamber. Conveyor and baffle are configured to pass said batch upward along partition before it enters melting chamber.

EFFECT: technical result is higher efficiency of glass batch loading.
