Abstract

An arrangement structure for bubbling apparatuses of a furnace, comprising bubbling apparatuses disposed in a melting pool ( 11 ) of a furnace. Each bubbling apparatus comprises a bubbling tank ( 8 ) and a bubbling tube ( 9 ). The bubbling tank ( 8 ) is provided at the bottom of the melting pool ( 11 ) and disposed in recessed fashion. The bubbling tube ( 9 ) is mounted in the bubbling tank ( 8 ). The structure can efficiently enhance the physical effect of a bubbling gas on molten glass and improve the quality and production efficiency of the molten glass.
