Glass melting furnace

A glass melting furnace is designed to melt raw materials into glass.^[1]

Depending on the intended use, there are various designs of glass melting furnaces available.^[2]^[3]^[4] They use different power sources. These sources are mainly fossil fueled or by fully electric power. A combination of both energy sources is also realized. A glass melting furnace is made from a refractory material.^[5]
