Temperature Sensors For Glass Industry-5

Glass Melting Furnace includes a melting chamber in which solid batch materials are heated to produce molten glass. The arch of this melting chamber is known as crown. To measure and control the temperature of furnace crown is important, because with the correct temperatures one can improve the service life of crown, as the overheating of the crown may cause of early erosion of crown refractory and on the other side if the temperatures are low, it can affect the melting efficiency and will increase the fuel consumption. The highest temperature in melting furnace is at crown. To select the right...

Same as crown, to measure the correct temperatures at furnace bottom results in higher service life of bottom blocks. Bottom blocks are the costliest part of a melting tank. Bottom thermocouples are used to get efficient operation of Glass Furnace. Even 2 - 3 Degrees higher or lower temperature can affect the fuel consumption of furnace. Tempsens Thermocouples proved the "whole campaign life" goal on many projects. On this application hole can be through to immerse a glass immersion thermocouple, which will be with hardened platinum/platinum alloy thimbles over ceramic protection tubes. If the...

Temperature Sensors For Glass Industry-7

In distributor and fore hearths temperature measurement and control is most important. The glass fore-hearth control system includes a temperature sensing system and control system. The temperature sensing system includes an arrangement of prepositioned temperature sensors. Simplex thimble thermocouples and tri-level / triplex thermocouples consist of an assembly of a bottom, middle and top thermocouples for sensing the vertical temperature profile of the molten glass at a fixed location. The output signals from these temperature sensors are received by controllers of the control system which...

Temperature Sensors For Glass Industry-8

In TI/GL/01 uses small thimble length. That model is economic and commonly used worldwide, normally it gives very good service life but the only disadvantage is recovery of platinum as the ceramic tube is in flame contact and if it breaks, one can loose the whole thimble. In TI/GL/02 thimble length is long, it is from glass immersion to roofing block and thimble shall be in flame, there is no joint of ceramic tube & PT thimble in fore hearth atmosphere. It is quite popular design in heavy draw fore hearths. Where glass draw is high, customer can choose as per their requirement. All thermocouples...
