The tuyeres are responsible for delivering the hot blast and providing the means for the blast furnace to do its job. A tuyere is basically a nozzle assembly that forces hot air into the furnace to increase/maintain the heat required to smelt.

The tuyeres are used to implement a hot blast, which is used to increase the efficiency of the blast furnace. The hot blast is directed into the furnace through water-cooled copper nozzles called tuyeres near the base.
