In the compression mode of the shock absorber, fluid is forced into the remote reservoir in direct proportion to the area of the shaft entering the shock body. … As fluid is forced through the … drum …, it is metered through one of the preassigned orifices in the drum; it then enters the reservoir body, moving the floating piston. The floating piston is designed to separate the fluid and nitrogen, eliminating any chance of aeration. 2, record 1, English, - floating%20piston

FAS is fundamental to active composting and curing, as there must be enough void space in the compost pile for oxygen. It is also critical that the spaces between the particles are interconnected so that air can move through the compost pile passively, or be forced through with aeration fans. 1, record 2, English, - free%20air%20space

L'espace lacunaire est essentiel au compostage actif et à la maturation, car il doit y avoir un espace vide suffisant dans la pile de compost pour l'oxygène. Il est également essentiel que les espaces entre les particules soient interconnectés afin que l'air puisse circuler de façon passive à travers la pile de compost, ou qu'il soit soufflé à travers la pile par les ventilateurs. 1, record 2, French, - espace%20lacunaire

Air stripping is a technology in which volatile organic compounds(VOCs) are transferred from extracted water to air. Typically, air stripping takes place in a packed tower(known as an air stripper) or an aeration tank. The air stripper includes a spray nozzle at the top of the tower. It sprays groundwater that has been pumped to the surface over the packing in the column. As the water descends, air is forced up through the column, stripping off the volatile compounds.... Air strippers transfer contaminants from one medium to another. There is no destruction of the contaminant. Consequently, the risks of emitting pollutants into the air must be carefully evaluated. Often, the air stream(or off-gas) is treated before it is emitted to the atmosphere. 2, record 3, English, - air%20stripping

Le strippage à l'air consiste à extraire l'eau souterraine et à l'écouler goutte à goutte dans un appareil qui volatilise les contaminants au moyen d'un jet d'air circulant à contresens de l'eau. Les méthodes d'aération possibles comprennent les tours à garnissage, l'aération par diffusion d'air, l'aération à plateaux et l'aération par pulvérisation. 2, record 3, French, - stripage%20%C3%A0%20l%27air

An egg sponge is a lightly aerated mixture produced by whisking air into eggs and sugar till a stiff foam is produced, then lightly blending in the flour, etc. In best quality goods no baking powder is used, the whole of the aeration being mechanically produced by whisking. To speed up the process, pressure whisks are now used in which the mixing takes place in a gas-tight container. Air under pressure is forced into the ingredients whilst they are being whisked, hence the individual air bubbles in the sponge are themselves under pressure. 1, record 4, English, - pressure%20whisk

Le principe en est simple : les pâtes nécessitant un degré considérable d'aération, au lieu d'être battues à la pression atmosphérique, sont soumises à ce battage sous une pression d'environ 1 kg : ainsi les globules d'air incorporés dans le mélange sont sous pression. (...) On peut obtenir le maximum d'aération avec le minimum de battage : 3 à 4 minutes au lieu de 10 à 15. 1, record 4, French, - batteur%20sous%20pression
