Additional information

Power Plant

In the Power Plant, 170 metres long and 35 metres wide, a great deal of wind and hot air was once produced, because it was here that huge machines provided the blast furnaces with pre-heated air, the so-called “blast furnace wind”.

Blast Furnace 5

Furnaces like Blast Furnace 5 were used to produce pig iron by smelting iron ore with lots of other aggregates at temperatures of around 2000°C. A furnace like this could operate continuously for ten years before the internal brickwork had to be relined.
