It sounds as though the text refers to the gas/steam flow paths in a turbine (ref to blades, rotor).

In a turbine, the flow paths are referred to as "Strömungskanäle":

"Das Turbinengehäuse bildet zusammen mit dem Turbinenrad die Turbine.
Die Abgase werden vom Motor, über den Auspuffkrümmer zum Turbinengehäuse geleitet, dessen Strömungskanal zunehmend enger wird. Bei gleichbleibendem Abgasvolumen erhöht sich hierdurch die Strömungsgeschwindigkeit der Abgase. Über das spiralartige, schneckenhausförmige Turbinengehäuse werden die Gase auf das Turbinenrad geführt, welches sich dadurch zu drehen beginnt."

In order to convey the "hot" and "cold" concepts in the German, you may have to also identify the fluid involved (Heißgaskanal, Heißdampfkanal, Kaltgaskanal, Kaltdampfkanal). Does your text tell you what sort of device it is referring to?
