FUEL MONITOR [10 records]

Record 1 2025-03-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Automated Materials Handling
  • Applications of Automation
CONT

The latest in terminal handling equipment are the so-called automated guided vehicles(AGVs). These may be driverless container handlers, unmanned stacking cranes and new process control systems that allow all commands to be issued from a central computerized location. Unmanned dockside container cranes are also under consideration. AGVs will monitor their own oil, fuel and mechanical functions and use sensors to prevent collisions.

CONT

Los vehículos de guiado automático (conocidos también como AGV por las siglas en inglés de "automated guided vehicle") son robots automatizados que transportan la mercancía entre dos puntos del almacén ―o entre dos instalaciones conectadas― sin necesidad de un conductor. Estos vehículos agilizan los flujos de mercancía pesada gracias a un circuito previamente diseñado.

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
CONT

Reactor Vessel and Internals … The core plate consists of a circular plate with round openings. The core plate provides lateral support and guidance for the control rod guide tubes, in-core flux monitor guide tubes, peripheral fuel supports, and startup neutron sources. The last two items are also supported vertically by the core plate. The entire assembly is bolted to a support ledge in the shroud.

OBS

core grid: Not to be confused with "upper core plate" (support grid placed at the top of the core.)

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
CONT

Reactor Vessel and Internals … The core plate consists of a circular plate with round openings. The core plate provides lateral support and guidance for the control rod guide tubes, in-core flux monitor guide tubes, peripheral fuel supports, and startup neutron sources. The last two items are also supported vertically by the core plate. The entire assembly is bolted to a support ledge in the shroud. The core plate also forms a partition within the shroud, which causes the recirculation flow to pass into the orificed fuel support and through the fuel assemblies.

Domaine(s)
  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
CONT

Sur chaque tête de tube-guide repose une pièce supportant les pieds de quatre assemblages d'une même cellule. Ce support de combustible porte les 4 diaphragmes de stabilité (orificed fuel support) et laisse passer au centre une barre de commande cruciforme.

Record 7 1998-03-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Extinguishing Agents
DEF

Protein foam concentrate to which has been added a surface active fluorochemical.

DEF

Fluoroprotein: A type of firefighting foam concentrate containing fluorocarbon surfactant compounds mixed with protein foaming agents.

OBS

Fluoroprotein foam concentrate: Term and definition standardized by ISO.

OBS

The concentrates utilized for generating fluoroprotein foams are similar in composition to protein foam concentrates, but in addition to protein polymers they contain fluorinated surface-active agents that confer a "fuel shedding" property to the foam generated. This makes them particularly effective for fire fighting conditions where the foam becomes coated with fuel, such as in the method of sub-surface injection of foam for tank fire fighting, and nozzle or monitor foam applications where the foam may often be plunged into the fuel.

Key term(s)
  • fluoroprotein-type concentrate

Domaine(s)
  • Agents extincteurs
DEF

  • Extinguishing Agents
CONT

The concentrates utilized for generating fluoroprotein foams are similar in composition to protein foam concentrates, but in addition to protein polymers they contain fluorinated surface-active agents that confer a "fuel shedding" property to the foam generated. This makes them particularly effective for fire fighting conditions where the foam becomes coated with fuel, such as in the method of sub-surface injection of foam for tank fire fighting, and nozzle or monitor foam applications where the foam may often be plunged into the fuel. Fluoroprotein foams are very effective for in-depth petroleum or hydrocarbon fuel fires because of this property of fuel shedding.
