BALANCE CHAMBER [6 records]

Record 1 2025-07-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fueling Systems (Motor Vehicles)
CONT

Mass air flow(MAF) sensors are crucial for your vehicle's engine to perform well. They measure the air volume entering the engine, ensuring the air-fuel mixture is optimal for combustion. This balance is vital for efficient engine operation and power. MAF sensors are located between the air filter and the intake manifold. They help maintain the right air-fuel ratio in the engine's combustion chamber.

OBS

The most common type of mass air flow sensor is the hot-wire mass air flow sensor.

Key term(s)
  • air-flow sensor
  • airflow meter
  • air-flow meter

French

Domaine(s)
  • Alimentation (Véhicules automobiles)
CONT

Le débitmètre d'air est une pièce mécanique ayant pour objectif de mesurer la masse d'air (ainsi que sa température) pénétrant dans le moteur (admission d'air) afin de transmettre cette information au calculateur moteur. Il est donc placé sur la durite d'admission entre le filtre à air et le boîtier papillon afin d'effectuer des relevés précis.

OBS

Le type de débitmètre d'air massique le plus commun dans les voitures modernes est le débitmètre à fil chaud.

Subject field(s)
  • Anti-pollution Measures
  • Waste Management
CONT

Landfill gas collection field. The purpose is to collect the landfill gas from within the waste disposal area via horizontal collection trenches and then transport the gas to the landfill gas control facility.... At the end of each run of horizontal gas collection trenches, there is a valve chamber which houses control valves to balance the collection field, and sample ports for monitoring gas quality and gas velocity.

  • Mesures antipollution
  • Gestion des déchets
CONT

Le système de captage et d'utilisation du gaz d'enfouissement comprend les [...] éléments suivants : [un] champ de captage de gaz d'enfouissement, [des] torchères de réserve, [un] système de pré-traitement du gaz d'enfouissement [et une] centrale électrique.

  • Gestión de los desechos
CONT

Red de captación de biogás. Formada por los pozos de captación y las líneas de conducción. [...] Las conducciones de biogás deben enviar el biogás generado en cada pozo hasta la estación de control.

OBS

red de captación de biogás: Se observa la utilización del término genérico "biogás" en vez del específico "gas de vertedero" en la literatura especializada.
