Due to extremely difficult conditions of operation of jumping(night, rarefied air, low temperatures, high weight and big size of the equipment, high drop speed due to the requirement of a short time of the aircraft presence in the drop zone), the AD-2000 parachute uses two reliable opening systems, one with a stabiliser and opening the main canopy with a ripcord or automatic device, and the other with automatic opening on the line. 4, record 1, English, - automatic%20opening

Dynamic adsorption. The most common mode of adsorptive separation process employs a fixed bed, cyclic operation. As the wet process stream enters the fresh molecular-sieve bed, the water vapor is adsorbed in a finite length of bed called a mass-transfer zone(MTZ), the bed length through which the concentration of the adsorbate is reduced from essentially inlet to outlet conditions. As wet gas continues to flow, the bed may be divided into three distinct zones; the dynamic equilibrium zone with inlet gas, the MTZ, and the remaining active zone. In most molecular-adsorption systems, the MTZ becomes stabilized because of its favorable isotherm and moves at a constant speed. The bed is exhausted when the leading edge of the MTZ reaches the outlet end of the bed. High effective capacity results from high dynamic equilibrium capacity and a short MTZ. 1, record 11, English, - dynamic%20adsorption

Pour renforcer les absorbeurs destinés au contrôle zonal, quatre absorbeurs de contrôle mécaniques sont utilisés. Ils ressemblent aux barres d'arrêt mais ils sont contrôlés par le système de réglage du réacteur. On peut les faire descendre ou monter à des vitesses variables.
