Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing molten glass in a melting furnace 1 equipped with a tank containing a glass bath 3, where the ingredients of the glass are melted in a refining zone 10 and the molten glass flows into an adjacent conditioning zone 13. According to the invention, the current is driven to a passage 31, which is located at the common boundary of the refining zone 10 and the conditioning one 13, this boundary or corset has a narrower width than that of the current, and the current is forced to go through the passage 31. Thus the homogeneity of the glass is increased at drawing off.
