The instant invention provides a method of controlling the accumulation of sodium sulfate in the checker packing of a regenerator of a cross-fired regenerative-type glass melting furnace. Typically, glass batch materials are melted within the furnace by combustion of fuel. This combustion produces exhaust gas that is drawn through the regenerator and heats the checker packing. During the melting operation; sodium sulfate gas is formed by the melted glass and is carried with the exhaust gas through the regenerator. The sodium sulfate gas may condense on a portion of the checker packing. As the sodium sulfate condensate accumulates on the checker packing, it may restrict the flow of exhaust …

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 18, 1997 and granted February 6, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended November 18, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 18, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
