Abstract
The cost of fuel per ton of glass increases when oil is used in the place of producer gas. This disadvantage is however amply compensated by smaller capital investment and eliminating the task of operating the producer gas unit and maintaining the flues. In view of this and the unsatisfactory supply of coal the present trend in the country is towards oil firing. It is important to note that oil is a comparatively concentrated form of fuel; the average, calorific value being over one million B.T.U./cu. ft. compared to about 140-150 B.T.U. per cubic foot for producer gas. For efficient use of this fuel proper control of combustion and suitable distribution of the burners are therefore essential. In the present article some of the important features of oil firing practice are briefly described with special reference to the glass industry.
