Expert training sessions
CelSian Glass & Solar has announced two expert training sessions to take place before the end of 2019. The first is a one day session on ‘Heat transfer in glass furnaces’, to be presented by AnneJans Faber, Senior Scientist at CelSian. This training course is scheduled for 20 November in Istanbul, just before the International Sisecam Glass Conference from 21 to 22 November, also in Istanbul.
The fundamentals of heat transfer processes in the different domains (combustion space, batch blanket and glass melt) of industrial glass melting furnaces will be presented and the course will focus especially on radiative heat transfer in glass melts, depending on the presence of colouring ions and redox state of the melt. Exercises and exemplary calculations are part of the course, so that after the training day, participants know how to apply the knowledge, eg for estimating the effect of glass chemistry, colour and redox changes on heat penetration in the glass melt and in the batch blanket.
CelSian is also organising a two day expert training session on ‘Fining, redox and glass quality’. This course is scheduled for 11-12 December at the CelSian premises in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The target audience of this training includes employees from batch and furnace departments and R&D groups of glass producing companies and suppliers to the glass industry.
Presentations for both sessions will be delivered in the English language and online registration is open.
