A float glass furnace includes a melting furnace which heats raw materials to form a molten glass batch, a working end where the molten glass batch is cooled, at least one regenerator which introduces heated combustion air into the melting furnace through a port neck, and at least one oxygen lance in or proximate the port neck. The oxygen lance includes a lance pipe in fluid communication with the port neck, an outer shell surrounding the lance pipe, an inlet water passageway in fluid communication with a channel(s) between an exterior surface of the lance pipe and an interior surface of the outer shell, and an outlet water passageway in fluid communication with the channel(s).

1. A float glass furnace, comprising: a melting furnace which heats raw materials to form a molten glass batch;a working end in which the molten glass batch can be cooled before being provided on a tin bath;at least one regenerator for introducing heated combustion air into the melting furnace through a port neck;an oxygen lance in the port neck, the oxygen lance comprising: a lance pipe in fluid communication with the port neck; an outer shell surrounding the lance pipe for introducing oxygen gas into the port neck; an inlet cooling water passageway in fluid communication with at least one cooling channel located between an exterior surface of the lance pipe and an interior surface of the outer shell; and an outlet cooling water passageway in fluid communication with the channel, where cooling water is introduced into the oxygen lance via the inlet cooling water passageway and exits the oxygen lance via the outlet cooling water passageway;wherein the at least one channel comprises a first channel portion and a second channel portion, wherein cooling water flows in a first direction in the first channel portion and in a second opposite direction in the second channel portion, the first and second channel portions being in fluid communication with each other proximate at least an end portion of the ox en lance; andwherein the first and second channel portions are each formed by the exterior surface of the lance pipe, the interior surface of the outer shell, and first and second fins extending between the exterior surface of the lance pipe and the interior surface of the outer shell. 2. The float glass furnace of claim 1, wherein the at least one cooling channel substantially surrounds the lance pipe. 3. The float glass furnace of claim 1, further comprising a first fin and a second fin, the first fin and the second fin extending from the exterior surface of the lance pipe to the interior surface of the outer shell. 4. The float glass furnace of claim 3, wherein the first fin and the second fin are parallel to each other and each extend lengthwise along the exterior surface of the lance pipe from a first end of the outer shell to an area proximate a second end of the outer shell opposite the first end. 5. The float glass furnace of claim 1, wherein the at least one channel comprises a first channel portion and a second channel portion, wherein cooling water flows in a first direction in the first channel portion and in a second opposite direction in the second channel portion, the first and second channel portions being in fluid communication with each other proximate at least an end portion of the oxygen lance. 6. An oxygen lance for use in a float glass furnace, the oxygen lance comprising: a lance pipe in fluid communication with a port neck;an outer shell surrounding the lance pipe;an inlet water passageway in fluid communication with a water cooling channel between an exterior surface of the lance pipe and an interior surface of the outer shell;an outlet water passageway in fluid communication with the channel; andwherein the channel comprises a first channel portion and a second channel portion, wherein cooling water flows in a first direction in the first channel portion and in a second opposite direction in the second channel portion, the first and second channel portions being in fluid communication with each other proximate at least an end portion of the oxygen lance. 7. The lance of claim 6, wherein the channel substantially surrounds the lance pipe. 8. The lance of claim 6, wherein the first and second channel portions are each formed by at least the exterior surface of the lance pipe, the interior surface of the outer shell, and first and second fins extending between the exterior surface of the lance pipe and the interior surface of the outer shell. 9. An oxygen lance for use in a float glass furnace, the oxygen lance comprising: a lance pipe in fluid communication with a port neck;an outer shell surrounding the lance pipe;an inlet water passageway in fluid communication with a water cooling channel between an exterior surface of the lance pipe and an interior surface of the outer shell;an outlet water passageway in fluid communication with the channel; anda first fin and a second fin, the first fin and the second fin extending outwardly from the exterior surface of the lance pipe to the interior surface of the outer shell. 10. The lance of claim 9, wherein the channel comprises a first channel portion and a second channel portion, wherein cooling water flows in a first direction in the first channel portion and in a second opposite direction in the second channel portion, the first and second channel portions being in fluid communication with each other proximate at least an end portion of the oxygen lance. 11. The lance of claim 9, wherein the channel substantially surrounds the lance pipe.
