Are the convection technologies used in the glass tempering furnaces the same?

Source: LandGlass  Attention: 394  Published: 2022-03-17
No, they are not the same

At present, there are primarily three convection technologies used in the glass tempering furnace: pipe convection, chamber convection, and OptiFlow convection. As a basic technology, pipe convection is the transitional technology between radiation furnace and convection furnace. Chamber convection is an upgraded technology based on pipe convection. OptiFlow convection is a further upgrade from the chamber convection, effectively improving the heat exchange efficiency and heating uniformity in the furnace for a better result when tempering double-silver and triple-silver Low-E glass. In addition, for true convection heating, the heating elements should be located in the positions where the convection system blows air, not the positions where the air returns.

Three key factors for you to consider when evaluating the convection technology:

1)The proportion and efficiency of convection heating.

2)Whether the heat is distributed evenly.

3)Whether the temperature control is accurate.
