Abstract

Disclosed is a float bath system for manufacturing a float glass, comprising a block assembly having a plurality of blocks connected to each other and configured to store a molten metal therein; a steel casing surrounding the block assembly; an air blower capable of supplying air to the steel casing; and a cooling water spray member capable of spraying a cooling water onto the steel casing. And, a cooling method of said float bath system is disclosed.

Claims (10)

1. A float bath system for manufacturing a float glass, comprising:

a block assembly having a plurality of blocks connected to each other and configured to store a molten metal therein;

a steel casing surrounding the block assembly;

an air blower capable of supplying air to the steel casing; and

a cooling water spray member capable of spraying a cooling water onto the steel casing,

wherein the cooling water spray member is activated upon interruption of the air blower,

wherein the cooling water spray member has a plurality of nozzle assemblies arranged below the steel casing in a preset pattern, and

wherein the plurality of nozzle assemblies are arranged such that the center of each nozzle assembly is consistent with the center of an interface of adjacent blocks.

2. The float bath system for manufacturing a float glass according to claim 1 ,

wherein each nozzle assembly has a radial nozzle unit capable of radially spraying a cooling water within a preset radius from the center of the interface between the blocks.
