The double-flash steam plant is an improvement on the single-flash design that can produce 15-20% more power output for the same geothermal fluid conditions. The plant is more complex, more costly, and requires more maintenance, but the extra power output often justifies the installation of such plants.... Triple-flash plants add another stage of flashing, thereby further raising the efficiency of exergy utilization but at the expense of increased complexity, more equipment, and higher capital costs.... many aspects of double-and triple-flash plants are similar to a single-flash plant... The fundamental new feature is one or two additional flash processes imposed on the separated liquid leaving the primary separator in order to generate additional steam, albeit at lower pressures than the primary steam. 3, record 2, English, - triple%2Dflash%20steam%20power%20plant

The concept of productivity recognizes the interplay between various factors in the workplace. The output or results achieved may be related to different inputs or resources in the form of various productivity ratios, for example, output per labour hour, output per unit of material(as in kilometres driven per litre of gas) or output per unit of capital. Each of these productivity ratios may be influenced by a combination of factors, such as quality and availability of materials, scale of operations, rate of capacity utilization, availability and throughput capacity of capital equipment, attitude and skill level of the work force, motivation and effectiveness of the management. The manner in which these factors interrelate will have a bearing on the resulting productivity ratio. 1, record 6, English, - productivity%20ratio

PWGSC [Public Works and Government Services Canada] Real Property Services Branch Document. PWGSC offered significant savings in office accommodation as part of the department's Program Review targets, in response to the anticipated downsizing of the federal public service. In addition, the targets include the Treasury Board directed 10% efficiency gains stemming from the Shared Accommodation Leadership(SAL) initiative. These two government wide initiatives necessitated the creation of a space recapture framework. The Client Space Envelope/Notional Budget Allocation is a concept which has been developed to allow clients to be more keenly aware of their space utilization so that they can take an active part in the space recapture framework.... The Budget Allocations are considered "notional" because no resources are actually transferred, and because budgets are based on 1994/95 average costs(excluding capital, lease acquisition fees, etc.). The process will involve PWGSC and clients agreeing on the base occupancy data and multi-year space reduction targets. 1, record 7, English, - Client%20Space%20Envelopes%2FNotional%20Budget%20Allocations%20Guiding%20and%20Operating%20Principles

Document des Services immobiliers de TPSGC [Travaux publics et Services gouvernementaux Canada]. TPSGC a proposé d'importantes économies dans l'aménagement des locaux à bureaux, dans le cadre des objectifs de l'Examen des programmes du Ministère, pour faire face à la compression prévue de la fonction publique fédérale. En outre, ces objectifs comprennent également les gains d'efficience de 10 % ordonnés par le Conseil du Trésor et découlant également du projet de Leadership partagé en matière de locaux (LPL). En raison de ces deux mesures qui s'appliquent à l'ensemble du gouvernement, il a fallu créer un cadre pour la récupération des locaux. La notion d'enveloppe de superficie des clients et d'affectation budgétaire fictive a été élaborée afin de permettre aux clients de mieux prendre conscience de la superficie qu'ils utilisent, de façon qu'ils puissent prendre une part active à la récupération des locaux. [...] Les affectations budgétaires sont dites «fictives», puisqu'il n'y a pas de transfert réel de ressources et parce que les budgets se fondent sur les coûts moyens établis pour 1994-1995 (ce qui exclut les immobilisations et les frais nécessaires pour conclure un bail, etc.). Dans le cadre processus, TPSGC et les clients s'entendent sur les données de base sur le plan de l'occupation et les objectifs pluriannuels de réduction de la superficie. 2, record 7, French, - Enveloppes%20de%20locaux%20des%20clients%20%2D%20Affectations%20budg%C3%A9taires%20fictives%20Principes%20directeurs%20et%20principes%20de%20fonctionnement
