Study of Energy Optimization Methods for Glass Industries Furnaces

Economical success in any process requires the true and useful application of energy. About 75 percent of the energy used in chemical industries and factories are burnt as hydro carbonic fuel in boilers and furnaces. Hydro carbonic fuel provides the largest source of energy in industrial systems. Nowadays it’s attempted to prevent energy loss in miscellaneous industries as much as possible. Considering the high temperature in glass furnaces and consequently high temperature of exhausted gases, there will be a high percentage of energy loss in this case. In this paper first the kinds of furnaces which are used in glass industries are interpreted and effective issues in energy loss are described. Then the ways of optimization energy in these furnaces are explained.
