“…So far, very little attention has been paid to the role of low frequency magnetic field generated by the glass manufacturing furnaces. There is little published data on simulation of furnaces for glass production and directed mainly to the modeling of current temperature and flow fields inside the furnace [8]- [12]. The most complex simulation requires a three-dimensional CFD-type calculation code [13], [14] and one of the main open problems concerns the knowledge of the electrical characteristics of the glass as it varies in temperature and composition.…”

This paper analyses the impact on workers of the electromagnetic field produced by large furnaces for glass production. The paper also propose a solution for the reduction and the containment of magnetic induction levels below the limits imposed by national and international directives. Using a threedimensional numerical calculation code based on the hypothesis of filiform conductors in the air (Biot-savart law). The choice of the solution is based on the technique named highly coupled magnetically passive loop technique (HMCPL). The solution was then implemented and a comparison between the magnetic induction values before and after the installation of the shielding solution is presented.INDEX TERMS Magnetic field pollution, shielding system.
