Abstract: A furnace (12) and a method for heating roll conveyed glass sheets by electric resistance radiant heating and forced convection heating by hot air jets that also entrain hot air within the furnace. A hot air distributing system (86) includes upper and lower arrays (90) of hot air distributors (92) that are constructed to effectively supply the convective heating. The hot air distributors (92) have heat exchangers (96) that heat the pressurized air that provides the hot air jets. The heating can be performed on both uncoated and coated glass sheets and furnace (12) conveys the glass sheets either in an oscillating manner or a continuous one direction manner during the heating.

Abstract: A glass sheet quench station (16) includes first and second quench sections (24 and 26) that cooperate with a three position shuttle (28) and a control (30) to transfer glass sheets through the quench station with partial quenching performed at the first quench station and completion of the quenching at the second quench section. This glass sheet quenching method with two stage quenching shortens the cycle time to provide increased production.
