A new approach to the analysis of the heat work of glassmaking furnaces is proposed. A generalized equation of the thermal balance of a furnace at the boundaries between the smoke stack and the glass melt channel is obtained. Boundary conditions on the temperature for media whose heat content defines the cost items of the thermal balance are formulated. It is shown that the heat rate (specific consumption of heat) in melting of 1 kg glass influences the percentage content of the cost items of the generalized thermal balance. A calculation of the thermal balance of the melting area of a 320 t/day container glass furnace with specific consumption of heat 1000 kcal/kg is carried out.
