An equation for the corrosion profile evolution of horizontal glass furnace sidewalls has been established. The non-uniform vertical temperature distribution and strong temperature dependence of viscosity, diffusion coefficient and refractory solubility in glass melt are taken into account. The effect of cooling on the corrosion rate as well as on the life-time of sidewall blocks is also analysed, and the cooling regime minimizing the energy loss during a given furnace campaign is being discussed. |
