To increase the power to 20% of the rated power to start the turbine generator system, the reflector is periodically lifted up at a speed of 1mm per 15 minutes in automatic mode. Periodic operation is needed to stabilize the system heat balance. At the same time, the pressure of the water steam separation tank is decreased to generate steam and to reduce the re-circulation flow. After this, the power is increased to full power by lifting up the reflectors and increasing the feed water flow. 1, record 3, English, - steam%20separation%20tank

Aseptic juice processing with pulp.... Raw product from the balance tank is transported by a booster pump through the raw regenerator section where it is pre-heated by sterile product form the sterile regenerator. The product then flows to the timing pump, which controls the product flow rate of the system. Pre-heated raw product enters the heater section from the timing pump and is heated to the sterilizing temperature before entering the holding tube. Processed product from the holding tube enters the sterile regenerator section where it is pre-cooled by incoming product form the raw regenerator. Processed product is then cooled to filling temperature and flows through a set of divert valves to a customer supplied filler or back to the balance tank. 1, record 5, English, - aseptic%20juice%20processing

Another very clever way-out was pioneered by the blind physicist Plateau already in the XIX century : the isodense tank(Plateau tank) with an immiscible liquid to balance the(high) hydrostatic gradient. But on both cases(millimetric-size liquid bridges and Plateau simulation) the mechanical behaviour(statics and dynamics) of liquid bridges is difficult to investigate under ground conditions because both techniques make experimentation difficult, imprecise and can mask effects only measurable under reduced gravity conditions. That explains why so many experiments with liquid bridges have been performed under microgravity since the pioneering demonstrations in Skylab in 1974, and how different the real behaviour of liquid bridges in space has been found. 2, record 6, English, - Plateau%20tank
