The experiment failed.
This was logical.
How could steelmaking be such an easy task?
After thinking for a long time, he had another idea.
He reduced the size of the heat chamber.
His thought process was this.
The heat carried away by the air passing through the heat chamber in one second would require the furnace below to heat for five seconds. If this could be achieved, the heat chamber would be truly useful and operate in its optimal state.
But unfortunately.
The help it provided to the blast furnace was very limited.
Therefore, he had to think of other ways.
Was the method of the heating ventilation duct a good one?
Can the use of a heat chamber really increase the temperature of the blast furnace? What's the principle behind this method?
He also tried it.
Using two iron plates, each one meter long and one meter wide.
Between them, a few iron rods with a diameter of one centimeter were placed.
Thus, there was a one-centimeter gap between them.
