Fruit Cooling. Requirement : Cool on the same day as picked from the orchard, hundreds of crates of fruit from the field temperature(core at perhaps 95 degrees) to as close as 33 degrees storage temperature as possible prior to passage to the storage rooms. This requires a hydro-cooling system that will deliver large quantities of recirculated water at 33 degrees that can be flooded over the warm fruit on a conveyor belt that accepts fruit from the field and delivers it to the storage rooms. During this flooding process, the water collects fruit residue(leaves, stems, dust) that must be settled from the return water before it is again cooled and delivered to the fruit flooding process. 3, record 1, English, - flood%2Dtype%20hydrocooling

The extraneous water which enters a sanitary sewer system utilizes the design capacity and increases the cost of wastewater collection and treatment facilities. The flows are generally attributed to infiltration and inflow. Infiltration is the groundwater which leaks into the sewer system generally through deteriorated and/or defective pipes, joints, connections, and manholes.... Inflow is the stormwater which directly enters the sewer system after rainfall from such sources as flooded manhole covers, yard and roof drain connections and cross-connections with a storm sewer. Generally, inflow causes sudden increases in wastewater flow rate. 1, record 2, English, - excess%20flow

Underground railway systems shall achieve a high degree of importance in the cities, so the architect’s role in planning and construction must be considered in a wider context in the future. A high degree of architectural quality in the appearance of an underground railway leads to its general acceptance as a means of transport. ... The book ... deals with the functional and spatial relation to other public areas which are connected to underground stations. It compares historical and recent examples of the subterranean architecture of metro stations in different countries by examining technical aspects and aspects of space-shaping brought in by the architects and engineers who designed the interior of the stations. 3, record 3, English, - subterranean%20architecture

L'architecture souterraine n'est pas un fait nouveau; de tout temps les hommes ont utilisé le sous-sol à des fins religieuses (tombeaux, catacombes), industrielles (mines), ou militaires. En revanche l'urbanisme souterrain reste encore une idée prospective [...] Aujourd'hui pourtant, du fait de la concentration urbaine, l'usage du sous-sol s'intensifie [...] Ce développement des espaces souterrains pose de nombreuses questions : quelles sont les fonctions urbaines susceptibles d'être enterrées? Quels surcoûts (ou économies) ces espaces engendrent-ils? Comment l'homme (usager occasionnel, ou travailleur quotidien) s'y adapte-t-il? 3, record 3, French, - architecture%20souterraine
