Bubbler System Bubbler System
The TECO Group (KTG Engineering) offers a number of bubbling solutions tailored to meet individual needs. We supply a number of designs of tubes, from standard alloy/alumina tubes to platinum tubes manufactured to existing customer designs. Bubbling systems can:

  • Reinforce convection flow
  • Improve bottom temperature and melting on colored glass applications
  • Improve glass quality
  • Enhance pack efficiency
Pulse Bubbling System
KTG Engineering provides an effective multi-point bubbler system adapter for use with a range of gasses and glasses. The system provides fully automatic or fully manual operation with independent control to each bubbler point. In addition, there are a number of pre-defined sequences that allow the user to determine the optimum bubbling pattern quickly.

Since each bubbler can be operated in manual or automatic, total bubbler freedom of operation is obtained. Therefore, each bubbler point has the facilities to produce bubbles on an individual frequency and duration settings via a PLC system. Each solenoid has variable time settings for duration(on time) and frequency(off time). The analog transmitter monitors the pressure spikes and has alarm limits attached to it. The air manifold provides cooling to the transmitter and solenoid at the individual bubbler positions.

Manual Bubbler Systems
KTG Engineering has supplied many bubbling systems to customers around the world. The principle of the system has been long established and has proven to be very successful. The Bubbler Control Panel has the following facilities:

  • To automatically switch to an emergency supply if the normal supply pressure drops below approximately 2 bar or if there is a power failure.
  • To control the holding pressure with individual flow control to each bubbler. This is used to reduce the risk of glass ingress in the bubbler tubes.
  • To give separate control to bubbling pressure.
  • Individual flow control to each bubbler for adjusting the frequency of bubbles.
