[The] glacier wind [is] caused by the temperature difference between the air in contact with the glacier and free air at the same altitude. The glacier wind does not reverse itself diurnally as do mountain and valley winds, but it reaches its maximum intensity in the early afternoon. The glacier wind is characterized by strongly turbulent flow. 4, record 1, English, - glacier%20breeze

Flotation Clarifiers. Dissolved air flotation is a solids-removal process where fine air bubbles become attached to the suspended particles, thus reducing the density of individual particles and causing them to float to the surface. The separated solids then form a floating layer that is a mixture of solids and air bubbles. The buoyant force exerted by the entrapped air also acts to compact the solids into a smaller volume before the floating layer is skimmed off.... A flotation clarifier of recent design is illustrated in Figure 26-7. This unit features a deep, baffled flow shaft for the wastewater. Air is injected on the downcomer side at the bottom of the shaft where a portion is dissolved by hydrostatic pressure. Undissolved air rises against the downward flow, contributing to water saturation. Rising water on the other side of the shaft is thereby saturated with air, but free of undissolved air bubbles. As hydrostatic pressure declines, microscopic bubbles are released from solution and become attached to the suspended solids. 1, record 14, English, - flotation%20clarifier

Les clarificateurs par flottation. La flottation avec insufflation d'air est une technique à laquelle on fait appel pour éliminer les matières solides contenues dans un liquide : en se fixant sur les particules en suspension, de petites bulles d'air abaissent la densité des particules, ce qui leur permet de flotter à la surface. Les particules qui se sont séparées du liquide forment une couche constituée d'un mélange de solides et de bulles d'air qui flotte à la surface. La poussée exercée par l'air emprisonné sert aussi à compacter les solides; la couche flottante a donc un volume plus faible quand on la retire par écumage. [...] Est représenté à la figure 26-7 un clarificateur par flottation de conception relativement récente. Cet appareil comporte un puits vertical profond, muni d'un déflecteur, dans lequel s'écoule l'effluent. On injecte l'air à la base du puits, du côté descendant. Une partie de l'air se dissout sous l'effet de la pression hydrostatique. L'air non dissous remonte à contre-courant, saturant ainsi l'eau. L'eau qui remonte dans la deuxième partie du puits est donc saturée en air, mais elle est exempte de bulles d'air non dissoutes. Au fur et à mesure que la pression hydrostatique diminue, il se dégage des bulles microscopiques. 1, record 14, French, - clarificateur%20par%20flottation

Oil furnaces. Indoor oil furnaces... are available in upflow, downflow, horizontal and low-boy configurations for ducted systems. They are also available as floor furnaces, wall furnaces, and free standing space heaters. Oil-fired outdoor furnaces and combination units are rare.... The ducted system, oil-fired, forced air furnaces are usually equipped with pressure-atomizing burners. The pump pressure and the orifice size of the injection nozzle regulate the firing rate of the furnace. Electric ignition is used to ignite the burners.... The combustion chamber and heat exchanger of oil-fired furnaces are normally formed as a common single chamber. It is formed from heavy gage steel into a welded assembly. The hot flue products flow through the inside of the heat exchanger into the chimney. The conditioned air flows over the outside of the heat exchanger and into the air supply plenum. 1, record 16, English, - oil%20furnace

Fournaise : Ce terme est considéré comme impropre par les puristes. Selon Dagenais, dans son "Dictionnaire des difficultés de la langue française au Canada", "fournaise" serait un calque de l'anglais "furnace" et nous devrions plutôt dire "chaudière" lorsque le fluide caloporteur est l'eau ou la vapeur et "générateur d'air chaud", lorsque le fluide, est l'air. Cependant, ce terme reste d'usage fréquent au Québec, autant en langue parlée qu'en langue écrite. 5, record 16, French, - g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rateur%20%C3%A0%20mazout
