Glass electric melting technology is a clean, efficient and advanced technology that can be used to produce different types of glass. Its principle is to apply electrical energy to molten glass to generate Joule heat for further melting. Since the world‘s first all-electric melting furnace was put into production in the UK in 1956, this technology has made great progress. At present, electric furnaces have a variety of structural forms. This work focuses on the characteristics and applications of cold top vertical melting furnaces (i.e. CTVM furnaces).
