…To make this heat transfer and reaction process more efficient, the furnace is vertical and the alternating layers of iron ore and coke (or charcoal) are placed high. Historically, this is why it is called a blast furnace (Hochofen in German, haut fourneau in French), but on the other hand, a high-pressure, high-velocity blast of air is required to send air from the bottom of the furnace to the high packed beds, and in English it is called a blast furnace, focusing on this blast of air. Currently, blast furnaces around the world are broadly divided into coke blast furnaces and charcoal blast furnaces, but charcoal blast furnaces are limited to parts of Southeast Asia and Brazil, where there are fast-growing trees such as palms and eucalyptus, and most blast furnaces in the world are coke blast furnaces. … *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "haut fourneau" are listed below.

…この伝熱と反応の過程を効率よく行わせるために,炉を立形にして鉄鉱石とコークス(あるいは木炭)の交互充てん層を高くしている。歴史的にみれば,これが高炉(ドイツ語でHochofen,フランス語でhaut fourneau)と呼ばれる理由であるが,他方,炉下部から高い充てん層に空気を送り込むには高圧,高速の衝風でなければならず,この衝風blastに注目して英語ではblast furnaceと呼ばれている。現在,世界各地の高炉はコークス高炉と木炭高炉に大別されるが,木炭高炉はヤシ,ユーカリなど生長のはやい樹木のある東南アジア,ブラジルなどの一部に限られ,世界の高炉のほとんどがコークス高炉である。… ※「haut fourneau」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
