Improvements in the Design of Recuperative Glass Pot Furnaces

JSGT_1923 V07 T003-T019

The present paper will deal with such improvements as have taken place since 1917, more particularly with the furnaces which have recently been built in this country to the author's design and patents. Before going into the design of the furnace itself, I should just like to mention briefly a few points not referred to in my previous paper relating to recuperates of the "Hermansen" type. In the author's view, these recuperators possess certain advantages not shared by other systems on the market, for instance, the Radot-Lencauchez type with vertical air channels, and apparently overlooked in the claims made for the same.
