The glass industry consumes substantial energy in high temperature melting process, i.e. 1500-1600 °C. Heat balance is considered as a guideline for promoting energy conservation program for a glass-melting furnace since it can monitor heat losses and efficiency in the furnace. To construct the heat balance, the amount of heat used for melting, which is the so-called exploited heat (Hex), has to be known. In this study Hex for melting the soda-lime glass is examined by thermodynamic calculations. Then, the heat balances of two furnaces, which are operated under difference conditions, are calculated. The output of this project will be used as a guideline for the industry to optimize the melting energy as well as to encourage glass technologists to use of thermodynamic calculations in analyzing their processes.
