Abstract:
A glass quench apparatus according to the present disclosure includes lower and upper quench heads configured to supply upward and downward gas flows to a heated glass sheet, and each quench head has multiple quench fins for distributing gas. For each quench head, adjacent quench fins are spaced apart center to center by a distance in the range of 0.87 to 1.15 inches, and each quench fin has multiple outlet openings that each have a diameter in the range of 0.25 to 0.36 inches. Furthermore, for each quench fin, the outlet openings are configured to provide spaced apart impingement points on the glass sheet such that adjacent impingement points are spaced apart by a distance in the range of 0.82 to 1.15 inches.
