The rotary dryer, sometimes known as a rotary kiln, is a type of industrial dryer employed to reduce or minimize the moisture content of the material it is handling by bringing it into direct contact with heated gas. The dryer is made up of a large, rotating cylindrical tube, usually supported by concrete columns or steel beams. The dryer slopes slightly so that the discharge end is lower than the material feed end in order to convey the material through the dryer under gravity. Material to be dried enters the higher end of the dryer, and as the dryer rotates, the material is lifted up by a series of internal fins lining the inner wall of the dryer. When the material gets high enough to roll back off the fins, it falls back down to the bottom of the dryer, passing through the hot air stream as it falls. 1, record 9, English, - rotary%20kiln

Les tubes fluorescents sont principalement utilisés dans les cuisines en dessous de meubles, mais aussi dans les salles de bain (déconseillé pour l'apparence de votre teint!) et pour l'éclairage interne des placards. Autre possibilité : Ils sont employés dans la partie garage ou atelier. Ils dispensent une lumière dite "froide", qui est excellente pour obtenir une bonne visibilité. 2, record 13, French, - tube%20fluorescent

Photoionization detector... consists of a chamber into which gases suitable for the discharge such as helium, argon, nitrogen, or hydrogen are introduced through [a] tube which serves as the cathode for the discharge. The ultraviolet radiation or glow discharge in the hollow cathode, maintained by a small current between the cathode and discharge anode, is sufficiently energetic to ionize components in the carrier gas effluent entering through the tube, the collecting electrode(anode) for the ions liberated within the chamber enclosed by the second cathode. 5, record 16, English, - photoionization%20detector

Une version commerciale de ce détecteur est apparue récemment sur le marché, il est composé d'une lampe UV [détecteur à photoionisation] scellée qui émet un rayonnement à 121,6nm (10,2 eV) à travers une fenêtre en fluorure de magnésium. Si le soluté passant dans ce détecteur a un potentiel d'ionisation inférieur à 10,2eV, il s'ionise en absorbant un photon. Les ions issus de cette photoionisation sont collectés en appliquant un potentiel positif sur une des électrodes. Le courant qui en résulte est amplifié par un électromètre identique à celui utilisé avec un détecteur à ionisation de flamme. 1, record 16, French, - d%C3%A9tecteur%20%C3%A0%20photoionisation
