METHOD OF CONTROLLING BUBBLES IN A GLASS MAKING PROCESS

Methods are disclosed for shrinking bubbles on the free surface of a volume of molten glass contained within or flowing through a vessel, thereby minimizing re-entrainment of the bubbles into the volume of molten glass and reducing the occurrence of bubbles in finished glass products produced from the molten glass. Methods of identifying a source location for the bubbles is also described. 公开用于使容纳在容器内或流过容器的定量的熔融玻璃的自由表面上的气泡收缩的方法，从而使气泡重新夹带至熔融玻璃的体积中最小化并且减少由所述熔融玻璃产生的成品玻璃产品中气泡发生。也描述辨识气泡的源位置的方法。
