Record 3 2006-01-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Various Proper Names
  • Stock Exchange
  • Anti-pollution Measures
OBS

The Montréal Exchange has gotten the better of Toronto and joined forces with the Chicago Climate Exchange(CCX) to create a Canadian environmental products exchange. The new Montréal Climate Exchange will concentrate initially on derivative products related to greenhouse gas(GHG) emission permits. It may later branch out into other environmental derivatives, which could be linked to acid rain, temperature(which has an impact on GHG emissions) or water.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Appellations diverses
  • Bourse
  • Mesures antipollution
OBS

La Bourse de Montréal a damé le pion à celle de Toronto et s'est alliée avec le Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) pour créer la première Bourse de produits environnementaux dérivés au Canada. La nouvelle Bourse, qui s'appellera le Marché climatique de Montréal, se concentrera d'abord sur les produits dérivés liés aux permis d'émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Plus tard, elle pourra lancer d'autres produits environnementaux dérivés. Ceux-ci pourraient être liés aux émissions responsables des pluies acides, à la température (facteur qui a des conséquences sur l'émission de gaz à effet de serre) ou à l'eau.

OBS

Le Marché climatique de Montréal est un genre de marché boursier de l'environnement. [...] Le but est que les entreprises moins polluantes puissent monnayer leur propreté en vendant des permis de pollution aux entreprises plus polluantes. C'est donc un peu le principe du pollueur payeur.

Record 4 2003-03-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Propulsion Systems
  • Launchers (Astronautics)
CONT

The accumulator is intended for heating fuel components in the rocket and space engines and can be used in space engineering, aircraft and other branches of industry. The task of increasing gas heating efficiency, reducing mass of the construction, diminution of dimensions and lowering thermal and hydraulic losses of heated gas is solved by making a heat accumulating element as a mono-unit in the form of cylinder. The covers with branch pipes are recessed in the ends of the mono-unit. The covers are butt joined to mono-unit on conical surfaces through pressurizing end seals at forming the collectors for gas feed and discharge. Plate electric heater and channels or annular slot for flowing gas are located along the longitudinal axis. The axis of channels or annular slot location divides the mass of heat accumulating element into two equal parts. In so doing, porous insert or a set of badly stream-lined bodies is in the channels or annular slot. All units of heat accumulator are coated with gas-dense material.
