aire parásito

español al inglés Técnico/Ingeniería Materiales (plástico, cerámica, etc.) Firing
aire parásito

From a technical article from Spain, for translation to British English, describing conditions for tunnel kilns.

"Las zonas del horno en las que existe depresión, el aire ambiente externo puede entrar en el interior del horno principalmente por la parte inferior de las puertas, o por accesos de fosos no herméticos. Este aire frío que penetra en el horno se le denomina *** aire parásito ***, ya que absorbe parte del calor de los gases calientes del interior del horno..."

I think you're right re the hits; "parasitic air" may be better, although it is not a very common expression in Spanish either (only 173 hits for "aire parásito" + "horno").
Note from asker:
Thankk you for the suggestion and the links and references, but a search for "kiln" and "parasite air" gives very few hits (56) and even the literal "parasitic air" gives more (208), although in both cases these are often in translations from Spanish. Perhaps "parasite air" is used commonly in furnace technology, but not in the ceramics world?
