FORCED AERATION [4 records]

Record 1 2019-11-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Transformation of Momentum (Mechanical Components)
  • Braking Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
CONT

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.

Domaine(s)
  • Transformations de mouvements (Composants mécaniques)
  • Freins (Véhicules automobiles et bicyclettes)
CONT

Un piston flottant est également utilisé pour garantir une pression homogène du gaz, offrant une conduite plus souple sans perdre le contrôle d'amortissement.

  • Frenos (Vehículos automotores y bicicletas)
CONT

Al ser accionado el freno, el émbolo de vástago de presión [...] y el émbolo flotante [...] se mueven hacia la izquierda, pasan hasta más allá de los taladros de compensación [...] e impelen líquido de freno hacia el interior de los circuitos de freno a través de los empalmes de presión [...] Al crecer la presión, el émbolo flotante no es movido ya por el resorte cautivo [...], sino por la presión del líquido de freno.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Waste Management
DEF

A measure of the space between individual particles in the compost pile that are filled with air.

CONT

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.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Gestion des déchets
DEF

Mesure de l'espace entre les particules individuelles dans la pile de compost qui sont remplies d'air.

CONT

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.

CONT

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.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mesures antipollution
  • Pollution de l'eau
  • Traitement des eaux usées
CONT

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.

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Tools and Equipment
  • Breadmaking
CONT

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.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Outillage industriel
  • Boulangerie
CONT

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.
