FLOODED SYSTEM [10 records]

Record 1 2011-06-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Freezing and Refrigerating
  • Food Industries
DEF

A cooling process whereby the product to be cooled is immersed in chilled water.

OBS

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.

Key term(s)
  • flood hydrocooling
  • flood hydro-cooling

French

Domaine(s)
  • Congélation, surgélation et réfrigération
  • Industrie de l'alimentation
DEF

Procédé de réfrigération par lequel les denrées sont plongées dans de l'eau à une température d'environ 0 °C.

Record 2 2011-06-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Sewers and Drainage
CONT

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.

Key term(s)
  • sewage seepage
  • wastewater leakage

French

Domaine(s)
  • Égouts et drainage
DEF

Ensemble des eaux affectant le fonctionnement des réseaux et des installations en provoquant un mauvais rendement épuratoire de la station d'épuration et comprenant : les eaux claires parasites, les effluents industriels, les rejets d'eaux polluées dans le milieu naturel.

CONT

D'une manière plus générale, la maîtrise des eaux parasitaires et le traitement des eaux usées constituent deux axes prioritaires du projet de revalorisation des rivières du bassin franco-genevois.

OBS

Record 3 2002-11-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Architectural Design
  • Urban Studies
CONT

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.

CONT

During the tour you can see how the famous Roman Catacombs, the subterranean burialplaces of the first christians in Rome, have been reproduced in the marlstone of Valkenburg. Besides the innumerable amount of tombs you can also admire the beautiful paintings, sculptures, and the perfect examples of subterranean architecture in the chapels and tombs.

CONT

The metro system was not the only Soviet-era piece of underground architecture in the capital to be affected. A huge underground nuclear bunker for government officials including the president and prime minister was also flooded, according to Czech sources.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Conception architecturale
  • Urbanisme
CONT

En 1900 il n'y avait au monde que cinq villes qui possédaient un métro, aujourd'hui on en compte plus de 150. L'étude de Marianne Stön porte essentiellement sur l'art et l'architecture souterraine des stations de métro, choisies dans une vingtaine de pays et représentant plus d'une quarantaine de métropoles.

CONT

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?
