Advantages and disadvantages of different height powder layers


1. Advantages and disadvantages of powder layer thickness

Taking conventional soda-calcium wine bottle products as an example, under normal circumstances, the height of the powder layer is controlled at 200~300mm, and the production effect is the best. If the height of the powder layer exceeds this range, it is easy to cause uneven material, that is, the height of each part of the powder layer is different, and frequent manual adjustments are required during the production process to maintain the flatness of the powder layer. Increasing the height of the powder layer will cause the interface between the molten glass and the powder layer (i.e., the theoretical liquid level position on the side of the melting cell) to move downward, and if a top-plug electrode is used, the electrode will be exposed to the powder layer, which will increase the risk of oxidative fracture of the electrode. However, the increase in the thickness of the powder layer can improve the insulation effect on the top of the melt bath, reduce heat loss, and thus reduce the energy consumption per unit of product. It should be noted that there are differences in the adaptability of different formulations of frit to the height of the powder layer, such as high barium and high boron, etc., and the excessively thick powder layer will hinder the normal discharge of gas, resulting in problems such as "hair cylinder" (the gas will lift the molten glass together with the powder, resulting in irregular overflow in the melting pool space) and "drum cannon" (the gas discharged locally from the powder layer will bulge the molten glass into a bubble, but it will not break, which is slightly less than the "hair cylinder" phenomenon) and other problems, such as improper treatment, It is easy to cause defects such as bubbles and stones caused by poor melting of molten glass.

2. Advantages and disadvantages of thin powder layer

In the glass production process, a thin powder layer helps to improve the heating uniformity of the glass raw material. The thinner layer of the powder allows the heat to penetrate the powder more quickly and evenly, which can improve the uniformity of the molten glass to a certain extent. This feature is crucial for products that require high glass uniformity.

When the powder layer is thin (height < 200 mm), the heat loss in the melting pool space is intensified, resulting in a significant increase in furnace energy consumption. In extreme cases. Due to the large loss of heat, the thermoelectric temperature is difficult to reach the set value, and the molten glass cannot be fully melted and clarified, resulting in a large number of stones, bubbles and other defects. In addition, the melt pool space is in a "red-top" or "semi-red-top" state for a long time, and the high-temperature environment is also a great challenge to the thermal stability of the feeder. For example, in the production process of high-boron glass, because the melting pool space is often in a semi-red-top state, the belt of the feeder needs to be made of high-temperature resistant material, while the production of ordinary soda-lime frit does not need this special requirement.

1. Key indicators for successful commissioning The operation of the furnace needs to follow two balances (balance between feeding and discharging volume, balance between power transmission and heat output) and three stabilizations (stable discharge, stable raw material layer, and stable power input). The thickness of the raw material layer is controlled at 150-180 mm, and the surface bubbles evenly. Power adjustment should be carried out slowly, with each adjustment amount not exceeding 1% of the operating current and the interval time exceeding 10 minutes. 2. Operation and maintenance and inspection requirements of the furnace Check the operating temperature, control parameters, circulating water temperature, transformer status, etc. every hour, and fill in the operation record form truthfully. Regularly inspect the cooling water system, air-cooling system, and key parts of the furnace (such as electrode holes, slag discharge holes), etc., to ensure that there are no abnormalities. Inspect the power outage emergency equipment every month to ensure that it can start normally in the event of a sudden power outage.

Characteristics of the powder layer of the glass electric melting furnace

The batch layer covered on the surface of the electric melting furnace is called the powder layer, and the height of the powder layer is an important parameter for the design of the glass electric melting furnace. Different from the traditional flame kiln, the electric furnace adopts a vertical melting process, and the powder layer is completely covered on the surface of the molten glass in the melting pool, and at the same time, the heat radiation of the melt to the kiln roof is blocked, so that the temperature of the upper space of the kiln is reduced to below 150 degrees Celsius, commonly known as "cold top". The volatile components in the batch are condensed in the powder layer and flow back into the molten glass, and gases such as carbon dioxide released during the melting process can easily pass through the powder layer and enter the space. The powder layer flows from top to bottom and melts continuously as the temperature rises, gradually completing the clarification and homogenization process.
