A liquid filling technique which uses gravity in a vacuum atmosphere. 2, record 2, English, - pressure%20gravity
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Pressure gravity. This method fills to a level. It is almost universally restricted to filling carbonated beverages. The flow principle is gravity as the force causing flow into the container. Like the gravity vacuum method, which fills by gravity in a vacuum atmosphere, this method fills by gravity in a pressure atmosphere. Product under pressure is held in an integral overhead supply tank on the rotary. Filling valves are mounted in the tank and are opened against spring pressure by the container being lifted to the valve. When the container is sealed to the valve, a mechanical latch opens a charging valve at the top of the valve vent tube which is above the product level in the supply tank.... Fill level is determined when the rising liquid covers a part in the vent tube through which the air in the container is exhausted as product flows in. 3, record 2, English, - pressure%20gravity

When air from the compressor is forced into the brake pipe, compressed air is stored inside the main reservoir and the combined reservoirs. At that point, the position of the control valve establishes communication between brake cylinders and atmosphere. This is called charging. Brake cylinder release springs return the pistons to release position. There is no pressure between brake shoes and wheels. Everything is prepared for brake application. 2, record 3, English, - release%20position

Quand le compresseur refoule l'air dans la conduite générale, le réservoir principal et les réservoirs combinés se remplissent d'air comprimé. A ce moment, les distributeurs, dans la position de la figure 1, font communiquer la conduite générale avec les réservoirs combinés et les cylindres de frein avec l'atmosphère. Le système est alors armé, les pistons sont retournés à la position de desserrage sous l'action de ressorts de rappel et les sabots ne serrent pas les roues. Tout est prêt pour l'application du frein. 1, record 3, French, - position%20de%20desserrage
