Electric spark ignitors are generally used only for ignition of distillate grades of fuel oil. The spark is generated by a transformer, which supplies up to 10 000 V to the sparking electrodes. This ignition system is frequently used on oil burners having capacities of up to 75. 8 l/h. 1, record 1, English, - electric%20spark%20ignitor
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The burner also forces combustion air into oil spray, causing an intimate and turbulent mixing of air and oil. An electric spark or spark-ignited gas or oil ignitor, applied for a predetermined time, ignites the mixture and sustained combustion takes place. 1, record 1, English, - electric%20spark%20ignitor

Mechanical Atomizers : In the mechanical atomizer, the pressure of the fuel itself is used as the means for atomization. Mechanical atomizers are available in sizes up to 180 million Btu/hr input, about 10, 000 lb of oil per hr. The acceptable operating range may be as much as ten to one or as little as three to one, depending on the maximum oil pressure used for the system, the furnace configuration, air temperature, and burner throat velocity. Return flow atomizers are ideally suited for standard grades of fuel oil where it is desired to meet load variations without changing sprayer plates or cutting burners in and out of service. 4, record 4, English, - mechanical%20atomizer

Over the intermediate term, policies to encourage the substitution of less carbon-intensive fuels are appropriate for consideration by governments. Such policies might include(1) a "carbon tax" on fossil fuel use;(2) a system of marketable permits for CO2 or greenhouse gas emissions, tradeable on a regional basis or(3) incentives for the use of alternative non-fossil technologies. 3, record 5, English, - carbon%2Dintensive

Il faut bien prendre garde de ne pas confondre cette notion avec l'intensité énergétique : un combustible qui offre un bon rendement (énergie utilisée-travail produit) est qualifié de combustible à forte intensité énergétique; un combustible qui produit peu de rejets carboniques est qualifié de combustible à faible intensité carbonique. 2, record 5, French, - %C3%A0%20intensit%C3%A9%20carbonique

Depuis environ un siècle, le développement progressif du chauffage à eau chaude a conduit à développer des chaudières à eau chaude où l'eau n'est pas vaporisée, mais portée à une température d'eau maximum 90 à 100°C. Ce type de chaudière s'est fortement développé à partir de la fin du XIXe s., s'étendant vers des puissances importantes et s'adaptant désormais, pour la majorité des modèles, au type de production de chaleur utilisé: chaudière à charbon, à bois, à mazout, à gaz, électrique, outre les chaudières, dites polycombustibles (...) 5, record 12, French, - chaudi%C3%A8re%20%C3%A0%20eau%20chaude

Le principe de base du système à eau chaude est bien connu: l'eau contenue dans une chaudière ("fournaise") est d'abord chauffée par un appareil fonctionnant au mazout, au gaz ou à l'électricité; circulant ensuite dans des canalisations, elle alimente des radiateurs ou des convecteurs, installés dans chacune des pièces de la maison. Au bout de sa course, l'eau revient à l'appareil pour être chauffée de nouveau avant d'entreprendre un autre cycle, et ainsi de suite. 6, record 12, French, - chaudi%C3%A8re%20%C3%A0%20eau%20chaude

Chaudière: Certains auteurs incluent l'air dans les types de fluide caloporteur de la chaudière. En général, on devrait plutôt dire "chaudière" lorsque le fluide caloporteur est l'eau ou la vapeur et "générateur d'air chaud", lorsque le fluide, est l'air. 7, record 12, French, - chaudi%C3%A8re%20%C3%A0%20eau%20chaude

générateur; chaudière: Certains auteurs semblent employer indifféremment ces termes, peu importe l'importance de l'appareil. Cependant, de façon générale, "générateur" serait réservé aux "appareils de chauffage" de très grande importance"; dans d'autres cas, le terme "générateur", prendrait le sens général "d'appareil qui produit de la chaleur". 7, record 12, French, - chaudi%C3%A8re%20%C3%A0%20eau%20chaude

In fuel-burning furnaces, the combustion takes place within a metal-walled heat exchanger and the circulating air passes over the outside surfaces of the heat exchanger so that it does not contact the fuel or the products of combustion. The products of combustion are conveyed to the outside atmosphere through a flue or vent. 1, record 13, English, - fuel%2Dburning%20furnace

A warm air heating system, fueled by gas, electricity, oil or wood, does two jobs. First, heat is produced by burning the fuel in the combustion chamber or through electrical resistance. Second, heat is transferred through the heat exchanger and the distribution system to the living areas of the house. 2, record 13, English, - fuel%2Dburning%20furnace

The oil sequencing switch is located in the oil pressure line outboard of the oil tank on the APU left side. This switch ensures that the APU lubrication system is operating before the unit is ignited. It also ensures that the unit has gained sufficient speed to provide adequate airflow before delivering regulated fuel to the combustion chamber. Major components are : a diaphragm, an actuating arm, and a dual-purpose switch. 2, record 14, English, - oil%20sequencing%20switch
