INTERCONNECT [4 records]

Record 1 2017-04-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fuel Cells (Electr.)
DEF

Conductive plate in a fuel cell stack that acts as an anode for one cell and a cathode for the adjacent cell ... The plate usually incorporates flow channels for the fluid feeds and may also contain conduits for heat transfer.

CONT

Because of the configuration of a flat plate cell, ... , the interconnect becomes a separator plate with two functions : 1)to provide an electrical series connection between adjacent cells, specifically for flat plate cells, and 2)to provide a gas barrier that separates the fuel and oxidant of adjacent cells.

CONT

The separator plates provide the electrical series connection between cells and physically separate the oxidant flow of one cell from the fuel flow of the adjacent cell.

CONT

While the current SOFC [Solid oxide fuel cell] operates at 1000 °C, this high temperature has limited the materials that can be used for the various cell components (electrolyte, anode, cathode, and interconnect or bipolar plate) to relatively expensive ceramic compositions.

CONT

[In the] SOFC ... [the] electrolyte, anode, cathode and interconnect or bipolar plate [have] relatively expensive ceramic composition.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Piles à combustible (Électricité)
DEF

Plaque utilisée pour brancher des piles à combustible en série.

CONT

[Les] plaques [bipolaires] assurent diverses fonctions dans un assemblage (stack) de piles à combustible : distribution du gaz dans chaque pile de l'assemblage, séparation et distribution des fluides, conductivité électrique et support des piles.

CONT

Le cœur de [la] pile [à membrane électrolyte polymérique (PEMFC)] [...] est mis en série avec le suivant par un interconnecteur qui assure une triple fonction : amener les gaz réactifs au contact des électrodes, transférer le courant électrique d'un cœur de pile à son voisin et évacuer la chaleur produite.

Record 2 2003-08-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computers and Calculators
  • Electronic Components
CONT

While certain problems related to interconnectivity may be solved by code changes, some information systems (or systems of systems) may saturate or may be impossible to interconnect if the architecture is not properly defined.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Ordinateurs et calculateurs
  • Composants électroniques
CONT

Même s'il est possible de régler certains problèmes d'interconnectivité en apportant des changements au niveau logiciel, certains systèmes d'information (ou systèmes de systèmes) risquent de se saturer ou de se révéler impossibles à interconnecter si l'architecture n'est pas bien définie.

Record 3 2002-03-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Long-Distance Pipelines
  • Transport of Oil and Natural Gas
CONT

In [a] statement made on Tuesday by Southern California Gas, the company said that they would add about 200 mmcfd of pipeline [to] their existing system by the end of the year in order to meet the growing demand for gas-fired generation. This latest proposal by SCG, called the Kramer Junction Interconnect, would be a 32-mile pipeline linked to the Kern-Mojave pipeline system.
