Abstract

Purpose. The purpose of the work is the development of energy-saving means for the thermal operation of the glass furnace.
Methods. The study of the thermal performance of a particular glass furnace was performed by mathematical modeling of its thermal balance with subsequent analysis. According to this, energy-saving means are proposed based on computational experiments.
Results. A comparative calculation of tubular recuperators is made. To recycle flue gas heat and select more efficient method the optimization problem with obtaining the optimum temperatures has been solved, namely: charge and hatch temperatures and air temperature. The minimum fuel consumption is 13.7 m3/s at optimum temperatures: heated air 1164 °C and charge and glass – 143 °C, which implies that in these conditions, the fuel consumption is reduced by 23.8 % from the base.
Originality. The mathematical model of thermal work of a particular glassmaking furnace is developed, presented by the heat balance equation, an adequate idea of the thermophysical processes of industrial glassmaking and the results of their experimental research, and the corresponding energy-saving measures are developed.
Practical implications. According to the results of the research, the efficiency of the heat recovery of the glass furnace can be calculated.
