Tech/Engineering - Mining & Minerals / Gems / Pelletizing Plant
Portuguese term or phrase: caixas de vento falsas
This term comes up in a study on an area for the potential implementation of a pelletizing plant in Brazil. This section deals with "Emissões de Particulados do Forno". Can't seem to find the term online, help would be appreciated. It's for US English.

 Emissões de Particulados do Forno

Precipitadores Eletrostáticos Secos (PEs) serão instalados para a limpeza dos efluentes gasosos. Além disto, será implantado um monitor de particulados na linha.

Os efluentes gasosos serão limpos antes de serem liberados na atmosfera, usando os seguintes Precipitadores Eletrostáticos:

– Precipitador para saídas da câmara de expansão.
– Precipitador para os dutos do processo de secagem.
– Precipitador para purga de ar seco.
– Precipitador para a descarga do revestimento do silo.
– Precipitador para a descarga da grelha.
– Precipitador para o peneiramento de pelotas queimadas.

Além da limpeza dos efluentes gasosos de processo, o precipitador para as saídas da câmara de expansão irá promover a exaustão das ***caixas de vento falsas***, coletando particulados e fazendo a exaustão de gases na área, assim como na extremidade do Alimentador (material descarregado das camadas posteriores e laterais).

English translation:(false) wind boxes
Explanation:
Every article dealing with pelleting iron ore mentions wind boxes. But, as you say, it is nigh impossible to find a reference to false wind boxes, in either EN or PT. I think you can certainly translate it as "wind boxes". If possible, try to check "false" with the source. Of course, and if in doubt, if you include the term, you are faithfully translating the source!
