Les installations à air chaud. [...] le fluide utilisé pour le transport de la chaleur est l'air. Cet air est distribué dans les locaux desservis [soit directement, soit indirectement] dont il réchauffe l'atmosphère par mélange. L'air peut être pulsé ou non; il peut aussi recevoir un traitement particulier (humidification, séchage, ozonisation). Il est traité dans des appareils spéciaux (échangeurs), dans lesquels il augmente sa température au contact de surfaces de chauffe qui sont soit alimentées par un fluide auxiliaire (eau, vapeur ou électricité) s'il s'agit d'aérothermes, soit léchées directement sur la face opposée par les gaz de combustion provenant d'un foyer propre à l'appareil dans le cas des générateurs. Les installations à air chaud peuvent donc être subdivisées: soit en chauffages à air chaud à circulation naturelle ou en chauffages à air chaud pulsé; soit en chauffages par aérothermes ou en chauffages par générateurs à foyer indépendants. 3, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20chauffage%20%C3%A0%20air%20chaud

A vacuum-feed system depends on pressure difference to force the metal from the holding furnace to the shot chamber [in die casting].(...) a vacuum pump evacuates the air from the shot chamber and the heated tube(usually by way of the casting cavity and through a filter or trap). The metal from the holding pot then flows through the heated tube and into the shot chamber, to fill the vacuum. 1, record 3, English, - vacuum%2Dfeed%20system
