Défibrage sous pression. Un procédé modifié de défibrage du bois sous pression a été mis au point en Finlande et plusieurs usines, un peu partout dans le monde, utilisent actuellement cette technique (4). On se sert d'air comprimé pour mettre toute l'installation de défibrage sous pression, ce qui permet d'empêcher la détente de la vapeur et d'obtenir des températures considérablement plus élevées dans la zone de travail. Un système de vannes d'étanchéité est prévu pour réduire la perte de pression au moment du chargement au bas du défibreur. L'évacuation de la pâte s'effectue au moyen d'une vanne de décharge. 1, record 3, French, - d%C3%A9fibrage%20sous%20pression

Forced Air Wood Furnaces. Central wood-burning furnaces are controlled by a wall mounted thermostat in the living area. Temperature and fan controls are the same as those found on oil and gas furnaces. Unlike room heaters, which produce a steady heat output by periodic manual adjustments of the draft control, most wood furnaces operate in cycles. A cycle starts with the thermostat sensing that heat is needed in the room where it is located. It signals the furnace control system which opens the combustion air damper and a hot fire develops. When the air inside the furnace's sheet metal casing gets hot, a preset fan control starts the circulating blower and the warm air is moved through the ducts to all areas of the house. 1, record 4, English, - forced%20air%20wood%20furnace
