Zusammenfassung: | A glass manufacturing apparatus includes a forming apparatus forming a glass ribbon. An enclosure is positioned downstream from the forming apparatus and includes a first chamber, a first end defining an inlet opening, and a second end defining an outlet opening. A first enclosure wall of the enclosure includes an enclosure wall opening defining a gas travel path from the first chamber to an exterior of the enclosure. A ribbon travel path extends through the first chamber. A first conduit extends along a first side of the enclosure and includes a second chamber. A gas opening provides fluid communication between the first chamber and the second chamber. A first gas source is in fluid communication with the second chamber. The first gas source delivers a first gas to the first chamber through the second chamber. Methods of manufacturing a glass ribbon are provided. |
