Abstract: A system (100) for manufacturing an extrudate (10), such as a honeycomb body, is provided. The system comprises an extruder (102). The extruder is configured to form an extrudate from a wet mixture, such as a ceramic forming mixture. The system further comprises a radiative heat assembly (104). The radiative heat assembly is configured to heat the extrudate. The radiative heat assembly comprises one or more IR light sources (112). The one or more IR light sources are arranged as one or more rings around the extrudate. The system further comprises a differential pressure assembly (108). The differential pressure assembly is configured to remove at least a portion of water vapor from around the extrudate. The differential pressure assembly can direct an air flow out of a chamber (136) formed by a housing (132) surrounding the radiative heat assembly. Alternatively, the differential pressure assembly can direct an air flow into the chamber.

Abstract: A method of making a shaped glass article includes placing a glass sheet on top of a mold. A heat exchanger is arranged relative to the mold such that a heat exchange surface of the heat exchanger is in opposing relation to a back surface of the mold and separated from the back surface of the mold by a gap containing a layer of gas. The height of the gap is selected such that the dominant heat transfer between the heat exchange surface and the back surface of the mold is by conduction through the layer of gas. The glass sheet is heated and formed into a shaped glass article with the mold. The heat exchanger is operated to remove heat from at least part of the mold during at least one of heating the glass sheet, forming the shaped glass article, and cooling the shaped glass article.

Abstract: A glass manufacturing apparatus includes a forming apparatus forming a glass ribbon. An enclosure is positioned downstream from the forming apparatus and includes a first chamber, a first end defining an inlet opening, and a second end defining an outlet opening. A first enclosure wall of the enclosure includes an enclosure wall opening defining a gas travel path from the first chamber to an exterior of the enclosure. A ribbon travel path extends through the first chamber. A first conduit extends along a first side of the enclosure and includes a second chamber. A gas opening provides fluid communication between the first chamber and the second chamber. A first gas source is in fluid communication with the second chamber. The first gas source delivers a first gas to the first chamber through the second chamber. Methods of manufacturing a glass ribbon are provided.

Abstract: An optical fiber draw furnace muffle includes a body portion defining a substantially cylindrical cavity extending along a centerline axis of the muffle. A tapered portion has an interior surface which defines a first curved portion with a first radius of curvature and a second curved portion with a second radius of curvature. At least one of the first and second radii of curvature has a radius greater than a radius of the cylindrical cavity.

Abstract: Systems for producing articles from glass tube include a converter having a base with a plurality of processing stations and a turret moveable relative to the base. The turret indexes a plurality of holders for holding the glass tubes successively through the processing stations. The systems further include a gas flow system or a suction system for producing a flow of gas through the glass tube during one or more heating, forming, separating or piercing operations. The flow of gas through the glass tube produced by the gas flow system or suction system may be sufficient to evacuate or purge volatile constituents of the glass from the glass tube and/or pierce a meniscus formed on the glass tube during separation, thereby reducing the Surface Hydrolytic Response (SHR) of the interior surface of the glass tube and articles made therefrom.

Abstract: A glass sheet is placed on a mold and heated to a first temperature. The glass sheet is then formed into a glass article having a three-dimensional shape using the mold. An isothermal heat transfer device comprising at least one heat pipe is provided in thermal contact with the mold. With the glass article on the mold and the isothermal heat transfer device in thermal contact with the mold, the glass article, mold, and isothermal heat transfer device are transported along a thermally-graded channel to cool the glass article to a second temperature. During the transporting, the isothermal heat transfer device transfers heat from a relatively hot region of the mold to a relatively cold region of the mold.
