A method for melting glass in a glass melting furnace in which the charge is melted in a melting section, clarified in a Gauber section adjoining the melting section, then homogenized in a homogenization section of increased bath depth adjoining the latter, and drawn therefrom, the charge being fed in at the beginning of the melting section and energy being supplied through electrodes under the charge feed, with burners disposed in the clarifying section to supply energy, and with heat exchangers for energy exchange between the combustion gases and the combustion air fed to the burners, and it relates also to a glass melting furnace for the practice of the method. |
