Gayley process

固有名詞

The process of removing moisture from the blast of an iron blast furnace by reducing its temperature so far that it will not remain suspended as vapour in the blast current, but will be deposited as snow in the cooling apparatus. The resultant uniformly dehydrated blast effects great economy in fuel consumption, and promotes regularity of furnace operation, and certainty of furnace control.

日本語の意味

高炉のブラス内に含まれる水分を除去する工程。具体的には、ブラスの温度を十分に低下させることで水分が気体の状態ではなく、冷却装置内で雪のように析出するようにし、その結果、均一に乾燥したブラスとなり、燃料の消費量を大幅に節約し、高炉の運転が規則正しく、制御が確実になる。

The steelworks adopted the Gayley process to remove moisture from the blast, improving fuel efficiency and stabilizing furnace operation.

製鉄所は高炉送風の除湿法を採用して送風中の水分を除去し、燃料効率を高めて炉の運転を安定させた。
