Record 8 2003-04-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Motors (Machinery)
CONT

The oil in the motor is pressurized by a spring loaded diaphragm assembly which keeps the oil around the bearings, rotor and rotary seal. Since the balance system puts the same pressure inside the motor as the outside well pressure, the rotary seal, "O" rings and stator winding work under a very low differential pressure.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Moteurs mécaniques
CONT

L'huile du moteur est maintenue sous pression par un diaphragme à ressort qui assure la lubrification constante des roulements, du rotor et du grain mobile de la garniture mécanique. Comme la pression à l'intérieur du moteur est égale, grâce au système de compensation, à celle exercée par l'eau du puits, le grain mobile, les joints toriques et les enroulements du stator sont soumis à une différence de pression négligeable.

Record 10 1999-10-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
DEF

A device used in thermal spraying which directs the air pattern for purposes of atomization.

CONT

... a spray gun includes a fluid adjustment which controls the fluid valve, a spreader adjustment valve, an air-valve assembly, an air cap, a fluid inlet, and an air inlet. The balance among air pressure, airflow, fluid pressure, and fluid flow is controlled by adjusting the valves concerned to provide the desired spray quality and pattern. Air flowing through the center area of the air cap and through holes near the center mixes with fluid from the fluid tip and produces an atomized spray. Air flowing from the openings in the horns of the air cap impinges on each side of the fluid spray to produce an elongated spray pattern. This pattern may be adjusted for a wide or narrow area by changing the setting of the spreader adjustment valve. The pattern can be made vertical or horizontal by turning the air cap.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Aérotechnique et maintenance
CONT

Une soupape à ressort, actionnée par appui sur la détente du pistolet [pulvérisateur], commande le débit. A partir de la source d'air comprimé, l'air entre dans le pistolet par l'orifice d'admission d'air situé au bas de la poignée du pistolet. Il traverse le corps du pistolet et est projeté dans les petits trous d'une bague déflectrice placée à l'arrière de la tête qui entoure la buse de pulvérisation. L'alimentation en air se règle par une autre soupape à ressort, située également au-dessous de la détente. ... [Une soupape, montée à l'arrière du corps du pistolet,] modifie le réglage d'une ouverture à l'intérieur du pistolet, qui règle le débit d'air traversant une seconde série de trous de l'anneau déflecteur et se dirigeant vers des orifices situés dans les deux "bossages" de la tête. Ces bossages envoient des jets d'air convergents dans le courant pulvérisé.

  • Production Management
DEF

Method of scheduling and displaying the progress of manufacturing or project work, comparing planned and actual progress at particular points in time.

CONT

The line of balance(LOB) technique is a charting technique for monitoring assembly line progress. The four inputs which are required for an LOB chart are(1) the production plan, showing the key-milestone events of the production process;(2) the cumulative schedule of time to reach each milestone;(3) the production progress, recorded on a vertical Gantt bar chart; and(4) the line of balance, which is a stairstep line obtained by calculating the cumulative number of units which must be completed to meet the schedule for each milestone.

... collapsible, inflatable rubber-coated bladders... [are] capable of transporting 140, 000 gallons of oil from a distressed tanker. In a collapsed state, the bladders... can be transported by air to the scene of a potential oil spill.... The balance of the system components includes a submersible hydraulic pump, a prime nover, flexible transfer piping, fittings and assembly tools.

OBS

Il semble que pour rendre la notion de "piping", il faut utiliser le pluriel en français, c'est-à-dire "manches". Nos recherches ne nous ont pas permis de savoir si l'on peut utiliser ce terme au singulier pour désigner une partie du "piping".
