Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of glass furnace melting, and in particular to an operating method of a replaceable glass furnace discharge pipe. Background Art

[0002] The molten glass obtained by melting in a glass melting furnace needs to be discharged from the furnace in some way. One of the ways is the freeze-thaw method of bottom discharging, that is, installing a discharging device at the bottom of the furnace. When discharging is not needed, the discharging port is set to a lower temperature, and the internal molten glass is "frozen"; when discharging is needed, the discharging port is heated to melt the internal glass, and the molten glass in the furnace can be discharged. This method has the function of a discharging valve, so it is also called freeze-thaw valve discharging. The freeze-thaw valve has the advantages of simple operation and the molten glass is not easy to overflow.

[0003] The German VEK glass solidification furnace uses a freeze-thaw valve-type bottom discharge device. The discharge pipe is installed at the bottom of the furnace, and its upper part is pre-buried inside the furnace refractory material. The lower tubular structure is exposed outside the furnace. The discharge pipe is heated by a medium-frequency induction coil. The existing technology assumes that the life of the discharge pipe is long enough, but does not consider the maintainability and replaceability of the discharge pipe. During the use of the project, the discharge pipe may be damaged due to corrosion, material defects, high-temperature fatigue and other factors. Since there is a large amount of high-temperature glass liquid inside the furnace, and the furnace may also be in a harsh environment such as radioactivity, the existing technology cannot achieve safe operation and replacement of the discharge pipe.

[0004] The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.
