    Abstract: Glass manufacturing apparatuses with cooling devices and methods for using the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus for forming a glass web from molten glass includes an enclosure and pulling rolls that cooperate to draw a glass web in a draw direction rotatably positioned in an interior of the enclosure. A cooling device for extracting heat from the glass web is in fluid communication with a cooling fluid source and includes an actively cooled flapper disposed in the interior of the enclosure that is movable to facilitate varying the heat extraction. The actively cooled flapper serves as a heat sink in the interior of the enclosure and the cooling fluid extracts heat from the actively cooled flapper to remove heat from the glass web and the enclosure.

    Abstract: An apparatus for making a glass sheet including a forming apparatus, a transition member, and a heat transfer device. The forming apparatus forms a glass ribbon from a supply of molten glass. The transition member encloses the glass ribbon adjacent the forming apparatus, and defines an interior space through which the glass ribbon passes. The heat transfer device is disposed within the interior space, and comprises a tube and a fin. The tube defines an exterior surface and an interior passage. The fin projects from the exterior surface. With this construction, the heat transfer device functions to extract heat radiated by the glass ribbon while minimizing the formation of flow vortices.

    Abstract: An apparatus for making a glass ribbon can include a heating plane including a heat footprint facing the surface of an edge director. A projection of the heat footprint in a resultant direction of the heating plane within the heat footprint can intersect the surface of the edge director. In further embodiments, a fusion draw method of making a glass ribbon can include radiating heat within a heat footprint of a heating plane toward a surface of an edge director. At least a portion of the heating plane within the heat footprint can face the surface of the edge director so that the surface of the edge director is intersected with heat radiating from the heat footprint of the heating plane.
