Abstract
ABSTRACTChecker brick of varying composition were tested by placing them in the regenerators of two glass tank furnaces. The operation of one furnace was representative of those making the usual grade of bottle glass while the other was operated at a considerably higher temperature and with a more corrosive dust.The amount of corrosion of the checker brick varied directly with the silica content of the brick. Those highest in alumina gave excellent service in the regenerator operating at the lower temperature. In the other regenerator, however, the. dust adhered to the high alumina brick and tended to clog the regenerator while it apparently fluxed and drained off of those higher in silica, leaving free passage for the gases.The brick were tested in the laboratory by making into cones with various percentages of the corrosive dust and determining the fusion point of the cones. The results agree closely with those obtained from the service tests.Detailed results including partial analyses of the brick and flue dust are given.
