Morphology

blow + gas

The phrase is compositionally built from 'blow' (to force out) and 'gas' (a gaseous substance); a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer it refers to gas that is blown or emitted. The specific technical detail about a 'blow period' is domain-specific, but the core meaning ('gas emitted') is directly derivable from the constituents.

Etymology

Blow gas comes from a simple image: a machine blows out gas, like a person blowing air from their mouth. So, blow gas means 'the gas pushed out from a generator when it is being cleared or let out'.
