Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Forced-circulation boilers in which the boiler water is forced through the generating tubes by a pump that takes its suction from the water drum. Since the natural circulation through a boiler depends on the difference in density of the water and the steam, the pump is of a substantial advantage for speeding up the steam formation when the boiler is operating at high pressures. 1, record 1, English, - forced%2Dcirculation%20boiler

Sous sa forme la plus simple, une chaudière à circulation forcée serait constituée par un ensemble de tubes alimentés en parallèle, dans lesquels l'eau serait successivement réchauffée et vaporisée, puis la vapeur surchauffée. La circulation de l'eau, dans une telle chaudière, est assurée par les pompes alimentaires dont la hauteur de refoulement est déterminée en tenant compte de la perte de charge totale des circuits évaporateurs et surchauffeurs. 1, record 1, French, - chaudi%C3%A8re%20%C3%A0%20circulation%20forc%C3%A9e

"Coil tube boiler" means a boiler with one or more tubes which may be in the form of a coil or other configuration in which the water flow is of a once-through pattern without a fixed water level, the circulation of water is forced by means of a water pump, the ratio of water content expressed in litres to the evaporation rate expressed in kilowatts is not greater than 0. 1 when the boiler is operating, and a pre-purge flame failure device is installed;... 1, record 2, English, - coil%20tube%20boiler

Circulation naturelle. Dans ce type de chaudière, l'eau provenant d'un réservoir placé à la partie supérieure descend dans des tubes non chauffés et remonte dans des tubes vaporisateurs chauffés. L'émulsion d'eau et de vapeur qui se forme dans ces tubes retourne au réservoir où la vapeur est séparée, l'eau étant renvoyée aux tubes chauffés, additionnée d'une quantité d'eau d'appoint égale à la quantité de vapeur produite. La circulation est assurée par la différence de poids entre deux colonnes de fluide, l'une contenant de l'eau, l'autre un mélange d'eau et de vapeur. [...] la circulation est d'autant plus intense que la différence de masse volumique entre l'eau et la vapeur est plus grande. 2, record 4, French, - chaudi%C3%A8re%20%C3%A0%20circulation%20naturelle
