Abstract
It is proposed that the conditioning of molten glass in the feeder channel of a glass furnace be conducted on the surface of melted copper. It is shown that this will make it possible to decrease the thickness of the layer of molten glass, increase the thermal uniformity of the layer, decrease the fluctuations of the level of the molten glass, and increase product quality. Questions concerning the interaction of the melted copper with the molten glass and the feeder-channel atmosphere are examined.
