Abstract: Apparatuses for interfacing with an electrode provided with a melting furnace including a vessel and an electrode. In some embodiments, a support assembly (50) supports the electrode outside of the vessel, and includes a cart (102) or similar apparatus that permits or facilitates selective vertical movement of the electrode and selective transverse movement of the electrode. In some embodiments, a push assembly (52) interfaces with a rear face of the electrode outside of the vessel, and is operable to apply a pushing force onto the rear face. The push assembly can include one or more tracks (e.g., threaded screw) that supports a body between opposing arms of a fixed frame. The body can translate along the tracks to apply a pushing force onto the electrode.

Abstract: An exhaust conduit for a glass melt system includes a corrosion resistant refractory conduit material, such as a conduit material including zirconia. The conduit can extend through a relatively dense refractory block material, such as a refractory block comprising alumina. The exhaust conduit can exhibit improved corrosion resistance in processing a variety of glass melt compositions.
