The Economics of Cooling Glass Tanks by Air

JSGT 1949 V33 T082-T088

Although the forced air cooling of tank wall blocks results in an increase in their life, it is shown that financial advantage follows only when the increase in life exceeds a certain value. General formulae have been worked out to enable the profit and loss account for air cooling to be calculated in any particular case. In general, it is shown that the extra profit earned by air cooling is much less than is commonly supposed.
