Record 1 2012-07-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pipes and Fittings
CONT

Duct lining or wrapping-A duct lining or wrapping is usually a sheet of porous material placed on the inner or outer wall(s) of a duct to introduce sound attenuation and heat insulation. It is often used in air conditioning systems. Linings are more effective in attenuating sound that travels inside along the length of a duct, while wrappings are more effective in preventing sound from being radiated from the duct sidewalls into surrounding spaces

CONT

Lagging, pipe wrapping. Pipes and large ducts often transmit and radiate unwanted noise from pumps, valves, fans, and other equipment into quiet areas through which they pass. The sound transmission loss of the wall can be increased by the addition of lagging or a jacket including sound absorptive material covered by a heavy, solid, impervious skin of plaster, cement, metal, or mass-loaded vinyl.

  • Tuyauterie et raccords
OBS

Contre la gelée, [les moyens de protection] consistent quelquefois à entretenir un faible écoulement [...] mais les moyens les plus courants et les plus sûrs sont encore : [...] d'enrober les tuyaux avec une matière isolante contre les déperditions de chaleur par conductibilité, convection ou rayonnement [...]

Record 3 2007-11-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Systems
CONT

The breach of an elastomeric end cap in the air conditioning duct system, and possibly a failed aluminum cap in the flight crew oxygen system, would have allowed these systems to exacerbate the in-flight fire.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Circuits des aéronefs
CONT

Le bris d'un embout en élastomère d'une gaine de conditionnement d'air et, peut-être, la défaillance d'un capuchon en aluminium du circuit d'alimentation en oxygène de l'équipage de conduite auraient contribué à l'aggravation de l'incendie en vol.

OBS

capuchon : terme uniformisé par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Maintenance.

Record 5 1999-10-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • HVAC Distribution Systems
  • Building Ventilation
DEF

a series of ducts, elbows, and connectors to convey air from one location to another.

CONT

The ductwork is used to take the forced warm air from the furnace to the supply outlet and the cooler air from the return register back to the furnace.

CONT

In designing a duct system for air conditioning, we must first determine air-outlet locations.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Distribution et évacuation (chauffage et conditionnement d'air)
  • Ventilation (Construction)
DEF

Système de conduits pour la distribution et la reprise de l'air.

CONT

Dans une installation de conditionnement d'air, les gaines (ou conduits) d'air s'imposeront chaque fois qu'il s'agira de canaliser l'air traité vers les points de distribution (bouches de soufflage) plus ou moins éloignés de la «centrale» de traitement. [...] On commence par étudier [...] le plan de la construction même du bâtiment car [...] c'est bien de la structure de ce dernier que dépendra le tracé final [...] du réseau de gaines [...]
