ENVIRONMENTAL AND RELIABILITY IMPROVEMENT OF GLASS FURNACES WITH WATER-HEATING HEAT-RECOVERY UNITS

In order to improve the environmentally of gas-fired glass furnaces of the regenerative type and increase the operational reliability of their chimneys under the conditions of using heat-recovery technologies, it is proposed to use the method of bypassing part of the waste gases from the furnace regenerators past the heat-recovery equipment. An analysis of the effectiveness of this method was performed to improve the dispersion of harmful emissions into the surface layer under the conditions of using water-heating heat-recovery equipment.
