Abstract
A method of premelting the raw materials for glass, which comprises burning a fuel by atomizing it within a combustion chamber while blowing combustion air into said combustion chamber so as to swirl along the inner wall thereof, feeding the raw materials for glass to said combustion chamber to effect partial premelting thereof, letting the thus premelted raw materials together with the combustion gas flow out from the lower part of the combustion chamber by way of a downwardly inclined duct, separating the premelted raw materials from the combustion gas, leading the premelted raw materials thus separated into a melting furnace, and utilizing the exhaust gas generated in the combustion chamber and/or the melting furnace effectively.
