Record 3 2016-12-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Soil Pollution
CONT

Previous exposures to contaminated soil gas have been documented in the residential areas to the west of the landfill. These exposures were from inhalation of volatile organic compounds in indoor air.... Installation and operation of the active soil gas venting system has reduced or eliminated this exposure. However, at times the system has been interrupted, resulting in some subsurface landfill gas migrating off-site.

CONT

[In a chapter dealing with groundwaters and soils. ] Enhanced biodegradation during soil gas venting : soil bioventing and vapour-phase biotreatment.

CONT

Efforts to characterize and monitor VOCs [volatile organic compounds] and methane often include analyzing the distribution and concentration of VOCs and methane in soil gas in deep vadose(unsaturated) zones beneath a contaminated site. These factors are integral to determining transport to the underlying aquifer and to evaluate potential remediation alternatives such as soil-gas venting.

DEF

A device that removes gas from the mud coming out of a well when a kick is being circulated out.

CONT

The Kem-Tron Mud Gas Separator is a skid mounted self-contained unit designed to separate and vent trip gas and heavily gas cut mud. Designed specifically for high-pressure wells the unit controls gas circulated to the surface by separating free gas from the mud and venting or flaring away from the well site.

Record 10 2003-04-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ovens, Furnaces and Boilers (Heating)
CONT

In an electric furnace, the resistance-type heating element either heats the circulating air directly or through a metal sheath enclosing the resisting element.

CONT

Even though electric heating is not new, forced air electric furnaces have been available in large quantities for only a few years. Electric furnaces, although similar in appearance to gas furnaces, are quite different. They do not require gas piping or venting. They do, however, require that high capacity electric circuits be installed to the furnace. Electric furnaces are more flexible than gas furnaces because there is no specific position in which to install them. The only requirement is that all components be accessible for installation and service.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fours et chaudières (Chauffage)
CONT

Chauffage central électrique. Les fournaises électriques à air chaud fonctionnent de la même façon que les fournaises au gaz sauf que le brûleur est remplacé par un jeu de deux à cinq éléments de chauffe à résistance électrique. Un courant passe à travers les éléments de chauffe, ce qui provoque le dégagement d'un flux concentré de chaleur. Un ventilateur, situé dans le carter de la fournaise, fait circuler cette chaleur à travers la maison.

OBS

fournaise : Ce terme est considéré comme impropre par les puristes. Selon Dagenais, dans son «Dictionnaire des difficultés de la langue française au Canada», «fournaise» serait un calque de l'anglais «furnace» et nous devrions plutôt dire «chaudière» lorsque le fluide caloporteur est l'eau ou la vapeur et «générateur d'air chaud», lorsque le fluide, est l'air. Cependant, ce terme reste d'usage fréquent au Québec, autant en langue parlée qu'en langue écrite.

Record 11 1999-08-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

The Get Away Special(GAS) Program was initiated by NASA in the mid-seventies to provide a diverse user community with extremely low cost access to space. Since 1982, 157 GAS payloads have flown aboard the STS. In 1998 alone, 16 GAS payloads flew on 5 different STS missions. The GAS carrier consists of a canister(5 ft3) which can accommodate customer equipment in a volume 19. 75 inches in diameter and 28. 25 inches high. The customer equipment can weigh up to 200 lbs. and attaches to the canister top plate. A smaller(2. 5 ft3) canister is also available for 60 and 100 lb. payloads. Electrical connection is via customer supplied cables to the GAS electrical interface on the canister bottom plate. Bumpers on the customer equipment provide lateral support. Provisions are made for insertion of purge gas into the canister and for venting a customer battery box.

OBS

get away special payload; GAS payload : terms officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group.

Subject field(s)
  • Metrology and Units of Measure
CONT

The gas indicator may be fitted with a bleed screw or with any other venting device when it forms a high point of the pipework. No pipe must be connected to the venting device. Flow indicators(e. g. spinners) may be incorporated in gas indicators provided that such devices do not prevent observation of any gaseous formations which could be present in the liquid.
