The continuous-mix method of bread production involves automatic and uninterrupted development of the dough in an enclosed chamber. All steps are continuous, from the weighing and metering of ingredients to the depositing of dough in pans for final proof and baking. There is no need for conventional make-up equipment such as mixers, dividers, and intermediate proofers and molders. Only very limited manpower is needed to operate the equipment. 1, record 2, English, - continuous%2Dmix%20method

Fuel in the D4D is pressurised to an extremely high 135mpa within the "common rail" that feeds all four cylinders (older diesel engines have a separate pipe leading from the pump to each cylinder). The high pressure injection creates better fuel atomisation for complete burning and increased power output. And because there is less fuel wasted through inefficient combustion, the D4D delivers better fuel economy too. 3, record 7, English, - high%20pressure%20common%20rail
Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 OBS
A common rail engine is designed to supply constant fuel pressure to electronically controlled injectors through a shared fuel reservoir. This means that the fuel supply is not dependent on the engine revs. A common rail system is built around four basic components : a high pressure pump with pressure regulator and inlet metering valve, a rail which contains a pressurised reserve of fuel, injectors which inject precise amounts of fuel into the combustion chamber as required and a Diesel Control Unit-the ’brain’ of the system, which precisely controls injector flow and timing as well as rail pressure while continuously monitoring the operating conditions of the engine. 4, record 7, English, - high%20pressure%20common%20rail

Le secret de la «rampe commune», c'est son tube interposé entre la pompe d'injection et les injecteurs. Alors que dans un système d'injection directe classique, la pression dépend du régime-moteur, cette rampe commune, d'un volume de quelques centimètres cubes, va jouer le rôle de réserve de pression. Ainsi, quel que soit le régime-moteur, le moteur dispose d'une pression pouvant atteindre 1500 bars. 3, record 7, French, - rampe%20commune%20%C3%A0%20haute%20pression

A pneumatic rate-of-rise spot detector consists of a small dome-shaped air chamber with a flexible metal diaphragm in the base. A small metering hole allows air to enter and exit the chamber during normal rise and fall of atmospheric temperature and barometric pressure. In the heat of a fire, however, the air within the chamber expands faster than it can escape through the metering hole. This expansion causes the pressure within the chamber to increase, forcing the metal diaphragm against contact points in the alarm circuit. An alarm signal to the system control unit results. This type of detector is most often combined in one unit that also has fixed-temperature capability. 1, record 8, English, - pneumatic%20rate%2Dof%2Drise%20spot%20detector

Le détecteur ponctuel thermovélocimétrique pneumatique est constitué d'une petite chambre aérothermique en forme de dôme et d'un diaphragme en métal flexible situé dans la base. Un petit trou permet à l'air d'entrer et de sortir de la chambre aérothermique lors des fluctuations normales de la température et de la pression barométrique. Toutefois, sous l'effet de la chaleur dégagée par un incendie, l'air qui se trouve dans la chambre aérothermique se dilate plus rapidement et ne peut pas s'échapper par le trou. Cette dilatation entraîne une augmentation de la pression à l'intérieur de la chambre aérothermique et force le diaphragme de métal à toucher les points de contact du circuit d'alarme. Un signal d'alarme est alors déclenché à l'unité de contrôle du système. Ce type de déclencheur est souvent combiné à un dispositif qui est également thermostatique. 1, record 8, French, - d%C3%A9tecteur%20ponctuel%20thermov%C3%A9locim%C3%A9trique%20pneumatique

Air release chambers are installed ahead of any metering equipment to ensure accurate measurement of fuel flow. They may be installed in either the pumphouse or on the dispensing platform. They operate on the reduced flow velocity principle which separates and eliminates air from the fuel. As the fuel enters the air release chamber(the diameter of which is much greater than the diameter of the inlet to the air release body), the velocity of the flow is greatly reduced allowing an interval of time for the air to separate from the fuel. The air, being lighter than the liquid, rises to the top of the chamber, where it remains until a sufficient quantity has accumulated to lower the liquid level, causing the float to drop, which in turn opens the vent valve and allows the accumulated air to escape. In most cases the line from the air vent is returned to the storage or scavenger tank to prevent spraying fuel into the surrounding area in case of a malfunction of the air release chamber. 1, record 10, English, - air%20release%20chamber

Des chambres de désaération sont placées immédiatement en amont de tout dispositif de mesure, ceci afin d'assurer la précision des mesures de débit. Ces appareils peuvent être installés dans la station de pompage ou sur la plate-forme de distribution. Ils agissent par réduction de la vitesse d'écoulement, ce qui permet à l'air de se dissocier du produit pétrolier. Lorsque le produit entre dans la chambre (dont le diamètre du corps est de beaucoup supérieur à celui de l'orifice d'admission), sa vitesse d'écoulement diminue sensiblement. L'air, plus léger que le liquide, remonte à la surface, et y demeure jusqu'à ce qu'une quantité suffisante se soit accumulée; le flotteur, qui s'est abaissé en raison de la baisse proportionnelle du niveau du liquide, commande alors l'ouverture du purgeur qui permet à l'air de s'échapper. Dans la plupart des cas, une canalisation relie le purgeur au réservoir de stockage ou de reprise d'évacuation afin d'éviter toute dispersion de produit à l'extérieur en cas de mauvais fonctionnement de la chambre ou du purgeur. 1, record 10, French, - chambre%20de%20d%C3%A9sa%C3%A9ration
