Winderhitzer am Hochofen 5 - a photo on Flickriver

            Cowper-Towers at the blast furnace 5

Winderhitzer sind nach dem Erfinder und Entwickler der regenerativen Wärmetauschung Edward Alfred Cowper benannt. Cowper arbeiten mit einem zeitlichen Wechsel (Heizen – Kühlen). Sie bestehen aus Zylindern mit einer Höhe von etwa 50 m bei einem Durchmesser von 10 m.  Die erwärmte Luft nennt man Heißwind, welcher anschließend mit einer Temperatur von etwa 1300 °C in den Hochofen geleitet wird. Die Herstellung einiger Roheisensorten wie Ferromangan und Ferrosilicium sind erst mit der Heißwindtechnik möglich geworden. 

Cowpers are named after the inventor and developer of regenerative heat exchange, Edward Alfred Cowper. Cowper work with a temporal alternation (heating - cooling). They consist of cylinders with a height of about 50 m and a diameter of 10 m. The heated air is called hot blast, which is then fed into the blast furnace at a temperature of about 1300 °C. The production of some types of pig iron, such as ferromanganese and ferrosilicon, only became possible with hot-blast technology.
