    A cowper is a hot blast stove named after inventor Edward Cowper (1819-1893). Each blast furnace had three hot blast stoves. Air sucked in by the blower machines was heated in these towers and fed to the blast furnace via ring ducts through the tuyeres.
    Two cowpers were always heated up at different times, while the third supplied the blast furnace with hot air. This ensured a continuous flow of wind. Considerable fuel savings were achieved during the melting process by preheating the air.
