SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on methods to electrically heat glass to temperatures between 200-600°C without combustion. Participants suggest using resistance heating, similar to air heaters, as a viable method. However, achieving the upper limit of 600°C may require alternative techniques beyond simple resistance heating. The conversation emphasizes the need for effective heating solutions that can operate independently of sunlight.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of resistance heating principles
  • Familiarity with temperature control systems
  • Knowledge of materials science, specifically thermal properties of glass
  • Basic electrical engineering concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advanced resistance heating techniques for glass applications
  • Explore induction heating methods for high-temperature glass heating
  • Investigate the use of infrared heating elements for efficient glass heating
  • Learn about temperature monitoring systems for precise control in glass heating
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, materials scientists, and anyone involved in glass manufacturing or thermal processing who seeks efficient methods for heating glass without combustion.

Hey guys. What's a way that I could heat up glass to a temperature of about 200-600C without using combustion?

i need to be able to do it at anytime during the day
 
You could put a resistance and heat it, much like how an air heater works. Also, that temperature range is pretty big, if you really want 600C you would have to resort to other means.
