Ayant mis au point une solution technique originale pour l'injection assistée par air comprimé (L'IAPAC), l'IFP a suivi une stratégie différente de celle d'Orbital [...] Dans le système IAPAC, l'air comprimé à 0,5 bar est prélevé directement dans le «carter-pompe» pendant la phase de pré-compression. Cet air comprimé alimente un injecteur pneumatique, composé d'une soupape d'environ vingt millimètres de diamètre commandée par un arbre à came, et sert à pulvériser en un temps très court le carburant en gouttelettes extrêmement fines aussitôt vaporisées. L'ouverture de la soupape se produit peu avant la fermeture de l'échappement, minimisant ainsi les pertes de carburant dans l'atmosphère. 3, record 1, French, - injection%20assist%C3%A9e%20par%20air%20comprim%C3%A9

Mass-burn technologies include water wall furnace, refractory furnace, rotary kiln furnace, water-cooled rotary combustion furnace, and controlled air furnace.... Different types of combustion technologies have been adopted and run commercially. In the case of mass burn types the unit size varies from 50-3200 TPD(tonnes per day). The operating efficiency of 450-580 kWh/tonne has been achieved except in refractory furnaces where it is comparatively less, i. e. around 100 kWh/tonne. 3, record 2, English, - refractory%20furnace

An interlock which proves a condition is proper for burner operation to continue through prepurge, ignition trials, and the run period. It is used with a primary or programming control which will shut down the burner if an improper conditions occurs. The interlock may be a combustion air controller(airflow switch), a damper position indicator(low or high fire proving switch), or a fuel pressure switch. It can be a recycling type, or it may require manual reset. 1, record 3, English, - running%20interlock

open damper purge. During prepurge, the damper opens to high fire position and the burner motor drives air through the combustion chamber to remove any potentially explosive fuel or fumes. The damper closes to low fire position for ignition trials, and opens again to high fire position for the run period. Flame safeguard controls providing this feature have only 1 terminal for firing rate switching; they do not provide modulation during the run period. 1, record 4, English, - open%20damper%20purge

When the burner is shut off for any reason, the program controller causes the forced draft fan to continue delivering air for a specified time to post-purge the unit of any atomized oil and combustible gases. This post-purge should amount to at least two air changes in the combustion area, gas passages, and breeching. 3, record 5, English, - postpurge
