Read our latest article in Furnaces International where Philippe Kerbois, Glass Sector Lead at AMETEK Land and Neil Simpson, Consultant of Simpson Combustion & Energy, look at advances in temperature measurement in glass melt furnaces that are helping to optimise productivity.
Ensuring consistent temperatures in glass melt tanks is essential to maintaining high-quality glass production and extending the campaign life of a furnace. Within the glass-melt furnace there are a variety of locations in which the temperature must be closely monitored to achieve these objectives. To ensure the best results, it is important to be able to trend temperature measurements throughout the whole furnace, especially in areas such as the crown and port arch.
