CONT

Around-the-pump proportioner : This type of proportioner also operates on the venturi principle [as does the "in-line inductor"], except that it must be situated at the pump and connected to both suction and pressure sides. Its advantage is that pressure recovery of the venturi action is attained, and pump delivery pressures to the foam-making device or devices downstream require no compensation for pressure loss except for that in the layout hose length.... A small portion of the pump discharge flows through a bypass line to the suction side of the pump. A venturi eductor in this line produces a negative pressure on the foam concentrate pickup line from the foam concentrate container. Foam concentrate is led to the eductor where it mixes with water and is delivered to the suction side of the pump.

  • Aircraft Systems

CONT

The fire extinguishing equipment for an airliner such as the Douglas DC-10 incorporates three systems with six pressurized agent containers, two for each engine. The containers for the wing-mounted engines are located in pairs in the leading edge of the wing between the nacelle and the fuselage on each side of the aircraft.... The discharge cartridge is an electrically fired explosive unit that provides force to rupture the disk seal in the outlet port of the container and release the extinguishing agent to the deployment lines. One discharge cartridge is installed on each wing-mounted container and two are installed on the aft-engine container. The discharge cartridge contains two squibs(explosive charges) that are fired by an electric circuit that heats the powder to the ignition point. When the fire extinguisher control handle is pulled down, the electric circuit is closed and the squibs are fired. The force of the explosion ruptures the disk seal, thus releasing the extinguishing agent. A screen in the discharge head prevents particles of the disk from entering the deployment line.

OBS

This system is specific to the McDonnell Douglas Corporation aircraft (DC-9, DC-10).

... two-piece D&I cans. Either tinplate or aluminium is used, usually on a dedicated line.

DEF

A type of liquid foam concentrate proportioning device that feeds the concentrate into the water at the output side of the pump rather than through the pump.

CONT

Balanced-pressure proportioners and around-the-pump proportioners are both systems that are built into the apparatus fire pump. ... The around-the-pump proportioning system consists of a pickup line on the discharge side of the pump back to the intake side of the pump. An in-line eductor is positioned on this pump bypass. These units are rated for a specific flow and should be used at this rate, although they do have some flexibility. For example, a unit designed to flow 500 gpm (2,000 L/min) at a 6 percent concentration will flow 1,000 gpm (4,000 L/min) at a 3 percent rate.

CONT

CONT

Trickle irrigation laterals can be divided into two categories :line source emitters and point source emitters. Line source emitters are used when plants are closely spaced within a row, with rows several feet apart as with most vegetable crops.... Point source emitters are used when widely spaced point sources of water are needed, as in the case of large containers or orchard crops where the trees are spaced several feet apart in each direction. This type of system utilizes one(or more) emitting device attached to a pipeline at or near the base of the plant, irrigating a single container or a bulb of soil surrounding the root mass of one plant.

CONT

Emitters also come factory-installed in polyethylene tubing; these are often referred to as "in-line" emitters or emitter lines. Spaced 12, 18, 24, or 36 inches apart, they deliver 1/2, 1, or 2 gph and are available in non-pressure-compensating and pressure-compensating versions. Some emitter lines are infused with a small amount of herbicide to prevent root intrusion; these can be buried and used to water lawns.

Subject field(s)
  • Heat Exchangers
CONT

In order to more readily understand a steam booster we should cover the basic construction of an average steam booster which would be as follows : A series of copper tubings or coils are fastened together so that a 120° water can be supplied at one end and(if all other requirements are met) 180° water will pass through the other end. This series of coils is placed inside a heavy metal container, the container also has an inlet and an outlet, into which we pass live steam at the required pressures. The steam circulates around the coils and losing its heat by transferring its high temperature to the lower temperature water, soon condensation accumulates at the bottom of the container. The condensation then passes through the discharge opening into either a waste line or what is known as a return line which is piped directly to the boiler where it is again heated into steam for recycling through the very same booster.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Échangeurs de chaleur
CONT

Pour mieux comprendre le fonctionnement d'un réchauffeur à vapeur, voici la description d'un appareil moyen. Une série de tubes ou de serpentins en cuivre, reliés les uns aux autres, admettent de l'eau à 120°F à une extrémité et (toutes les autres exigences étant par ailleurs satisfaites), fournissent de l'eau à 180°F à l'autre extrémité. Ces serpentins se trouvent à l'intérieur d'un contenant en métal lourd, lui-même muni d'une admission et d'une sortie, et dans lequel passe de la vapeur vive à la pression requise. La vapeur circule autour des serpentins, transmettant sa chaleur à l'eau dont la température est moins élevée; cet échange de chaleur provoque la condensation de la vapeur. L'eau de condensation qui s'accumule rapidement au fond du contenant, passe ensuite dans l'ouverture de décharge, à laquelle est raccordée soit une canalisation d'évacuation, soit ce qu'on a convenu d'appeler une canalisation de retour de condensats, elle-même directement reliée à la chaudière, où elle est transformée de nouveau en vapeur, pour ensuite être réutilisée dans le réchauffeur.
