Indirect Determination of Real Heat-Emission Coefficients in Air-Cooling Systems of Operating Glass Furnaces

A scientifically grounded, applied, indirect method of determining the real rate of heat removal by convection during jet cooling of corrosion-active zones of the melting tank in a glass furnace is presented. This procedure makes it possible to determine the actual coefficients of heat removal in the critical zones on the basis of direct measurements performed as part of ongoing monitoring of the condition of the refractory structures of the melting tank in glass furnaces. An algorithm for practical implementation was developed. A realistic example of the application of the proposed method is presented.
