Un pressostat est un dispositif détectant le dépassement d'une valeur prédéterminée, de la pression d'un fluide. L'information rendue peut être électrique, pneumatique, hydraulique, ou mécanique. Ces appareils sont également appelés manostats ou encore manocontacts en transformant une ou plusieurs valeurs de pression déterminées qu'ils subissent en informations électriques ou mécaniques. Ils sont utilisés dans de nombreuses applications de systèmes de contrôle ou de régulation par exemple en provoquant l'arrêt d'un compresseur si la pression d'évaporation descend au-dessous d'une limite déterminée. 5, record 1, French, - manostat

An idle-stop system, also commonly known as a start-stop system, is essentially what makes up today's increasingly popular so-called mild hybrids.... The battery in a mild hybrid is still very important, but its main purpose is as a part of the idle-stop system that shuts off the gasoline engine when a mild hybrid is at rest, coasting or slowing down. For instance, a stop at a red light at an intersection will cause the engine to cut off. When the car is idle, no gas will burn inside the engine. Once the light turns green and the driver applies pressure to the gas pedal, the engine should switch back on seamlessly, as though it hadn’t been turned off at all. 1, record 2, English, - idle%2Dstop%20system

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
An inspirator mixer, does not require a blower but does require high pressure gas,(can be dangerous) and is not very economical or efficient. The tip or nozzle is usually always a flame retention type tip. The reason this burner requires high pressure gas is that the gas needs to be moving at a high rate of speed in order to induce enough air for proper combustion. It is usually used for propane and in a situation where no electricity is available. If you have high pressure gas it is recommended that you use a regulator and switch to an aspirator mixer type system. 3, record 3, English, - inspirator%20mixer
