    摘要: An electrode holder for use in a furnace for melting a batch material to form molten glass is disclosed comprising a refractory coated nose member presented to and in contact with a molten glass material contained within the furnace. The refractory coating is preferably a flame- or plasma-sprayed ceramic such as alumina or zirconia. That protects the nose member from corrosion from the hot molten glass.

    摘要: A fiber-based gasket, a glass manufacturing system, and a method are described herein for reducing thermal cell induced blisters. In one embodiment, the fiber-based gasket is placed in a connection between a first glass manufacturing device (e.g., capsule surrounding a downcomer) and a second glass manufacturing device (e.g., fusion draw machine surrounding an inlet). The fiber-based gasket has a density and compression which results in a gas permeation rate per unit surface area that is less than 22.5 ml/min/cm2 to reduce thermal cell induced blistering within the first glass manufacturing device and the second glass manufacturing device.

    摘要: A system and method are described herein that control the environment (e.g., oxygen, hydrogen, humidity, temperature, gas flow rate, pressure) around one or more vessels in a glass manufacturing system. In the preferred embodiment, the system includes a closed-loop control system and a capsule that are used to control the level of hydrogen around the exterior (non glass contact surface) of the vessel(s) so as to suppress the formation of gaseous inclusions and surface blisters in glass sheets. In addition, the closed-loop control system and capsule can be used to help cool molten glass while the molten glass travels from one vessel to another vessel in the glass manufacturing system. Moreover, the closed-loop control system and capsule can be used to maintain an atmosphere with minimal oxygen around the vessel(s) so as to reduce the oxidation of precious metals on the vessel(s).

    摘要: A system and method for suppressing the formation of gaseous inclusions in glass sheets and the resulting glass sheets are described herein. The system includes a melting, fining, delivery, mixing or forming vessel that has a refractory metal component (e.g., platinum component) which has an inner wall that contacts molten glass and an outer wall coated with an oxygen ion transportable material (e.g., zirconia) which is coated with a conductive electrode. The system also includes a DC power source that supplies DC power across the oxygen ion transportable material which causes oxygen ions to migrate from the refractory metal component to the conductive electrode and enables one to control the partial pressure of oxygen around an exterior of the vessel which helps one to effectively prevent hydrogen permeation from the molten glass in order to suppress the formation of undesirable gaseous inclusions and surface blisters within the glass sheet. The present invention also helps one to effectively reduce the oxidation of external, non-glass contact surfaces of the refractory metal component.
