Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method and apparatus for glass manufacturing that includes heating an enclosure for housing a molten glass forming apparatus according to a predetermined thermal profile. The enclosure has at least first and second sidewalls that are heated with at least one induction heating system that is configured to thermally couple energy to at least a portion of the sidewalls. Cette invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de fabrication de verre qui comprend le chauffage d'une enceinte destinée à renfermer un appareil de moulage de verre fondu selon un profil thermique prédéfini. L'enceinte comporte au moins des première et seconde parois qui sont chauffées à l'aide d'au moins un système de chauffage par induction qui est conçu pour coupler thermiquement l'énergie à au moins une partie des parois.
