Three types of burners have been developed for regenerative glass furnaces heated with natural gas that make it possible to select the optimum characteristics of the flame (luminosity and length) for different fuel-air conditions or furnace design features. Each of the burners allows flame-length control; two are toroidal burners, one of them with an overblow feature. Simple to use, the burners optimize fuel consumption and allow compensation for changes in gas pressure and for heat or corrosion damage to the emission section of the nozzle.
