Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A submerged combustion melting system includes a submerged combustion melter having a housing that defines a melting chamber and one or more vibration damping devices operatively coupled to the housing.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A method of damping vibration of a submerged combustion melter having a housing that defines a melting chamber, the housing having a length along a longitudinal axis that is greater than a width, the method comprising: operatively coupling a plurality of vibration damping devices to the housing; applying a damping force in parallel to the length of the housing; and applying a damping force perpendicular to the length of the housing that is greater than the damping force parallel to the length of the housing. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of vibration damping devices has a stroke length, and applying a damping force comprises applying a damping force substantially over the entire stroke length. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the stroke length is less than ½ inch. 4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising operatively coupling a majority of the plurality of vibration damping devices traverse to the longitudinal axis. 5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising operatively coupling at least one of the plurality of vibration damping devices to a projection extending from a roof of the submerged combustion melter.
