External forces on the ISS [International Space Station] during flight in low-Earth orbit require attitude adjustments using the control functions(effectors)... These forces act on the Station to produce torques that are dependent on the seasons, diurnal(daily) phase, and the solar cycle. To counter these forces the Control Moment Gyros and Gyrodynes are used to rotate the ISS in the opposite directions, until the momentum stored in these gyros reaches a maximum, or saturation. At this point, the gyros must be desaturated, or spun down, by firing the thrusters in the opposite direction. Desaturation takes valuable propulsion fuel and is programmed for a minimum of use. 1, record 7, English, - desaturation

Certains fonctionnement en tirage naturel (...) Dans d'autres types, le mélange est entraîné vers le foyer par une arrivée continue d'air provenant d'un ventilateur basse pression. Le principe de fonctionnement est le suivant: le fuel domestique est dirigé vers une coupelle métallique préalablement mise en température où il se vaporise avant de brûler. L'air primaire pénètre par les ouvertures périphériques et se mélange aux vapeurs de fuel. La combustion doit être amorcée par un moyen additif (résistance électrique, combustible gazeux, etc). 5, record 11, French, - br%C3%BBleur%20%C3%A0%20pot%20de%20gaz%C3%A9ification

Oil furnaces. Indoor oil furnaces... are available in upflow, downflow, horizontal and low-boy configurations for ducted systems. They are also available as floor furnaces, wall furnaces, and free standing space heaters. Oil-fired outdoor furnaces and combination units are rare.... The ducted system, oil-fired, forced air furnaces are usually equipped with pressure-atomizing burners. The pump pressure and the orifice size of the injection nozzle regulate the firing rate of the furnace. Electric ignition is used to ignite the burners.... The combustion chamber and heat exchanger of oil-fired furnaces are normally formed as a common single chamber. It is formed from heavy gage steel into a welded assembly. The hot flue products flow through the inside of the heat exchanger into the chimney. The conditioned air flows over the outside of the heat exchanger and into the air supply plenum. 1, record 12, English, - oil%20furnace

Fournaise : Ce terme est considéré comme impropre par les puristes. Selon Dagenais, dans son "Dictionnaire des difficultés de la langue française au Canada", "fournaise" serait un calque de l'anglais "furnace" et nous devrions plutôt dire "chaudière" lorsque le fluide caloporteur est l'eau ou la vapeur et "générateur d'air chaud", lorsque le fluide, est l'air. Cependant, ce terme reste d'usage fréquent au Québec, autant en langue parlée qu'en langue écrite. 5, record 12, French, - g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rateur%20%C3%A0%20mazout
