Subject field(s)
  • Exhaust Systems (Motor Vehicles)
  • Anti-pollution Measures
CONT

The oxygen sensor(also known as an O2 sensor, lambda sensor, or EGO sensor) is one of the most critical sensors on a fuel-injected engine. It resembles a spark plug and is located in the exhaust manifold between the turbo and catalytic converter. When at operating temperature it becomes a miniature battery which generates a voltage based on the differential between the oxygen content of the exhaust gas and the oxygen content of the ambient air. By this method it measures the amount of oxygen in the exhaust stream, allowing the ECM to compensate to some degree for various fuel grades, engine wear, altitude changes, usage of oxygenated fuel, and more. Another big benefit is the ability to keep emissions of carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and unburned hydrocarbons as low as possible.

OBS

oxygen sensor: term officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Échappement (Véhicules automobiles)
  • Mesures antipollution
CONT

La consommation de carburant et l'émission de gaz polluants peut être drastiquement réduite en ajustant aussi précisément que possible le mélange air/essence qui alimente le moteur. Le dosage optimum (14.7 kg d'air pour 1 kg de carburant) correspond à l'indice 1 d'un coefficient arbitrairement choisi, appelé Lambda; ce mélange est aussi appelé stœchiométrique. Afin de mesurer précisément ce dosage, un capteur d'oxygène est placé en sortie de moteur, avant le catalyseur. Ce capteur est relié au calculateur (ECU), et renseigne en permanence ce dernier sur la proportion de dioxygène (O2) à l'issue de la combustion du mélange air/essence. Si le mélange est pauvre, le dioxygène est en excès et vis versa.

OBS

capteur d'oxygène : terme uniformisé par le Comité du projet de lexiques (Nouveau-Brunswick).

Subject field(s)
  • Petroleum Technology - Maintenance
  • Oil and Gas Distribution Facilities
OBS

Pigging has been used for many years to clean larger diameter pipelines in the oil industry.... Pigging is the cleaning out of pipelines, between processes, with a special contoured plug or Pig. The pig is driven down the pipeline by compressed gas, fluid or even product to give a clean line ready for reuse. A pig can be used either as a separator between two products, or as a method of cleaning out the pipeline at the end of a batch transfer.

US Senators... have secured as much as $5. 5 million... for a military program which will enable the Plug Power Company in Latham to develop clean and efficient electricity though an electro-chemical process called Proton Exchange Membrane(PEM) fuel cell technology. PEM fuel cell systems produce electricity by operating on hydrocarbon fuels such as natural gas, propane, and other types of hydrogen-rich fuel while producing nearly zero emissions of pollutants such as nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide.

Les piles à combustible convertissent l'énergie en électricité selon un procédé électrochimique. Le système auquel travaille Hydrogenics, que l'on a appelé « captage de l'énergie des piles à combustible », produit de l'électricité en recourant à la technologie de la pile à combustible à membrane d'échange de protons (MEP) alimentée au gaz naturel. [...] La technologie de la pile à combustible est l'une des options énergétiques les plus prometteuses au plan de la réduction des émissions de dioxyde de carbone, un des principaux gaz à effet de serre. Les piles à combustible utilisent une énergie propre, fonctionnent à basse température et sont extrêmement efficaces et fiables

Subject field(s)
  • Pulp Preparation (papermaking)
OBS

High-Consistency System. Figure 11-18 shows a representative system where pulp is handled in the 25% to 28% consistency range. Typically, a press is used to raise the feed consistency to about 30%. Fresh caustic or oxidized white liquor along with the magnesium protector is added to the pulp at the discharge of the press. A thick stock pump then transfers the pulp to a fluffer via a feed pipe in which a gas-tight plug is formed. The fluffed pulp flows down the pressurized reactor as a loose bed, while gaseous oxygen is continuously dissolved into the liquid phase and reacted with the pulp.... Oxygen gas is added to either top or bottom to maintain a partial pressure within the 90 to 130 psi range. Relief is taken from the head space at the top of the tower to remove combustibles and other noncondensible gases, and control overall reactor pressure. At the bottom of the tower, the reacted pulp is diluted with post-oxygen filtrate and pumped at about 6% consistency to a blow tank.
