Alphabetical list of terms

Record 1 2016-02-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Refrigerating Machines and Appliances
CONT

[In a] compression refrigerating system [, low-pressure] vapor(refrigerant)... enters the compressor... and is compressed to a high pressure.... the high-pressure vapor enters the condenser... The high-pressure liquid... then expands through a throttling valve... to a lower pressure in the evaporator...

OBS

The compression system most commonly used is the positive-displacement reciprocating compressor.

Key term(s)
  • vapor-compression system

French

Domaine(s)
  • Machines frigorifiques
CONT

Quelles que soient la puissance et la nature du fluide frigorigène, le principe d'une installation frigorifique à compression est toujours le même. Toute proportion gardée, on y retrouve toujours les quatre appareils essentiels; l'évaporateur [...], le compresseur [...], le condenseur [...] et le régleur détendeur [...]

OBS

Dans les installations à compression, le compresseur est l'organe principal.

Record 2 2011-07-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Closing Devices and Nozzles (Mechanical Components)
  • Refrigerating Machines and Appliances
  • Air Conditioning and Heating
DEF

A valve that is used to restrict the flow of a fluid and to produce a pressure drop.

OBS

throttle valve; throttling valve : terms officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee(New Brunswick).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Obturateurs et buses (Composants mécaniques)
  • Machines frigorifiques
  • Conditionnement de l'air et chauffage
CONT

Robinet d'étranglement. Comme son nom l'indique, l'action d'étranglement intervient chaque fois qu'il s'agit de réduire ou de «freiner» dans une certaine mesure l'écoulement d'un fluide (gaz, vapeur, liquide) dans un conduit sans toutefois courir le danger d'une obturation totale.

OBS

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

English

Subject field(s)
  • Closing Devices and Nozzles (Mechanical Components)
  • Air Conditioning and Heating
  • Refrigerating Machines and Appliances
OBS

suction pressure throttling valve; suction throttling valve : terms officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee(New Brunswick).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Obturateurs et buses (Composants mécaniques)
  • Conditionnement de l'air et chauffage
  • Machines frigorifiques
OBS

robinet d'étranglement de la pression d'aspiration; robinet d'étranglement d'aspiration : termes uniformisés par le Comité du projet de lexiques (Nouveau-Brunswick).

Record 4 2011-02-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Conditioning and Heating
  • Refrigeration Engineering
DEF

A valve automatically controlling by throttling the flow of liquid refrigerant to an evaporator according to change in temperature of refrigerant leaving the evaporator.

OBS

It is basically responsive to superheat ...

OBS

constant superheat valve; thermal expansion valve; thermostatic expansion valve; TEV: terms and abbreviation officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Conditionnement de l'air et chauffage
  • Techniques du froid
CONT

[...] un détendeur thermostatique ne règle pas directement la pression d'évaporation, mais contrôle le remplissage en liquide de l'évaporateur en fonction de la surchauffe [...] des vapeurs quittant l'évaporateur.

OBS

détecteur thermostatique; détendeur à surchauffe constante : termes uniformisés par le Comité du projet de lexiques (Nouveau-Brunswick).

Record 5 2007-08-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Production
DEF

A continuous string of flexible steel tubing, often hundreds or thousands of feet long, that is wound onto a reel, often dozens of feet in diameter.

CONT

(Polyacrylamide) polymers are susceptible to shear degradation when they pass through a throttling valve. The method... used for rate control is the insertion of a long coil of tubing of relatively small diameter.... The diameter of the tube coil is calculated based on the shear rate for the desired flow rate.

OBS

The reel is an integral part of the coiled tubing unit, which consists of several devices that ensure the tubing can be safely and efficiently inserted into the well from the surface.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Production pétrolière
DEF

Tube souple enroulé sur touret utilisé pour intervenir sur les puits sous pression.

Record 6 2000-06-02

English

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

The section of a furnace in which temperature is controlled by the throttling action of a single valve.

French

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

Réguler : assurer la régulation, le fonctionnement correct [...] [d'un] mécanisme [...]

Record 7 1981-01-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Closing Devices and Nozzles (Mechanical Components)
CONT

Pulsation frequency is connected with the setting of the suction flow into the chamber; the latter is adjusted by partial opening of an air leak valve in the suction circuit where a blower is used or by simply throttling the suction line in the case of a fan.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Obturateurs et buses (Composants mécaniques)
CONT

La fréquence des pulsations est liée au réglage du débit aspiré dans la cloche; il s'effectue par ouverture partielle d'une vanne de fuite d'air sur le circuit d'aspiration dans le cas d'utilisation d'un surpresseur, ou par simple vannage sur la tuyauterie d'aspiration dans le cas d'un ventilateur.
