Hydrocyclones are used for sewage sludge degritting in applications requiring high efficiency and a high degree of grit removal. ... [In] the hydrocyclone ... the feed is introduced tangentially to a cylindrical feed section, and the liquid slurry develops a rotational movement and passes into a conical section. The centrifugal force created by the cyclonic movement of the liquid forces the heavier solid particles to the outer wall. 3, record 2, English, - hydrocyclone

The terms "cyclone separator", "cyclone collector" and "cyclone" are often used as synonyms of "hydrocyclone". They are however generic with respect to "hydrocyclone" because whereas in hydrocyclones the solids are separated from a liquid, in the others the solids are separated from either a liquid or air mixture. 4, record 2, English, - hydrocyclone

L'eau est pompée dans un tuyau (ou tubulure) horizontal qui est placé le long de la crête des capteurs. [...] Par rapport aux capteurs à eau à conduits fermés [le] système Thomason et d'autres types de capteurs ouverts ont un rendement thermique plus faible, à cause de l'évaporation de l'eau contenue dans les rigoles de l'absorbeur et de sa condensation au contact du vitrage. 2, record 4, French, - capteur%20%C3%A0%20ruissellement

The AGI-30 sampler is a high-velocity liquid impinger widely used for air sample collection. [It] operates by drawing aerosols at a flow rate of 12.3-12.6 L/min through an inlet tube curved to simulate the nasal passage. In contrast to impaction of bioaerosols onto agar, impingers may give higher bacterial counts in environments where bacteria are carried as aggregates, mainly because bacterial clusters are broken up. 4, record 8, English, - liquid%20impinger
