(57) Abstract: In a glass melting furnace having at least one oxygen burner mounted on a ceiling, heat transfer is improved and emission of nitrogen oxides and / or sulfur oxides is reduced, Increase the glass production speed, increase the glass yield, A method for melting a glass forming material is provided. A fuel flow is provided to at least one oxygen burner mounted on a ceiling of a glass melting furnace, a gaseous oxidant flow is provided, fuel and oxidant are injected into the furnace, and at least a portion of the combustion is provided. Occur near the glass forming material 30 to cause convection and radiative heat transfer to the glass forming material 30. |
