Glass manufacturing apparatus and method

A glass manufacturing apparatus may include a forming device having a conduit. The conduit may include a conduit wall defining a flow passage and a slot extending through the conduit wall. The glass manufacturing apparatus may further include a thermal control device for defining a thermal control path. The projection of the thermal control path may intersect the footprint limited by the outer periphery of the slot. A method of manufacturing glass may include flowing a molten material along a flow direction of a flow path. The method may also include flowing a molten material through the footprint of the slot. The method may further include operating a thermal control device for defining a thermal control path. The projection of the thermal control path may intersect the footprint. The method may additionally include adjusting a temperature of the molten material at a location where the thermal control path intersects the molten material. 玻璃制造设备可以包含具有管路的形成装置。管路可以包含用于定义流动通路的管路壁以及延伸穿过管路壁的狭槽。玻璃制造设备可以进一步包含用于定义热控制
