Zusammenfassung:In a glass fiber forming station, bushing air is delivered to the veil from grills that encroach near the front and rear sides of the veil. Sealing material may at least partially seal the space around the bushing. The system may reduce the requirement for conditioned air, and may reduce the likelihood of dust entrainment in the veil. Pot sprays may be provided for additional cooling of the veil. In a method of retrofitting a glass fiber forming station, a station duct is attached to a main duct, and carries air from the main duct to a grill that extends near the veil, for example within 12 inches of the veil.
