The service life of furnace is not only related to design,refractory selection,daily maintenance and glass formula,but also closely to the quality of construction.Poor masonry quality will accelerate the blockage of the furnace regenerator,which can easily cause problems such as crown burning,brick falling and leakage of glass from melting tank,seriously affecting the service life of the furnace.Some key points and precautions in the construction of regenerative furnace were introduced,including the calibration and positioning of furnace foundation,the steel columns installation,the rider arches masonry,the wall masonry of regenerator,the arrangement of cylindrical bricks,and the masonry of the insulation layer at the bottom of melting tank.
