Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0177034A2] The invention relates to a device for producing a glass melt from a glass batch, comprising a melting chamber (1) which has peripheral walls (1.1 - 1.4) and a floor (1.5); a delivery channel (2) which is located under the floor (1.5) of the melting chamber (1) and which is conductively connected to the molten bath (3) by an inlet (2.3), and which has an outlet (2.4) for the finished melt in the area of a peripheral wall (1.1) of the melting chamber (1); and at least one heating device for heating the melting bath (3). The invention is characterised by the following features: the inlet (2.3) of the delivery channel (2) is located in an area of the floor (1.5) of the melting chamber (1); the inlet (2.3) of the delivery channel (2) is located in a central area of the floor (1.5) of the melting chamber (1); and the delivery channel (2) has a cover (2.2) which is located at least approximately at the height of the floor (1.5) of the melting chamber (1).
