Introduction
Water-cooled molybdenum electrodes are critical components in electric glass melting furnaces. Combining high-purity molybdenum electrodes with precision-engineered water-cooled jackets, these assemblies provide exceptional electrical conductivity, thermal stability, and long service life under extremely high-temperature operating conditions.
They are widely used in glass manufacturing plants producing container glass, float glass, optical glass, fiberglass, pharmaceutical glass, and specialty glass products.
What Is a Water-Cooled Molybdenum Electrode?
A water-cooled molybdenum electrode consists of a high-purity molybdenum electrode combined with a stainless steel water-cooled jacket. Cooling water continuously circulates around the electrode connection area, protecting the assembly from overheating while maintaining stable electrical performance.
