HEAD ANNULUS [5 records]

Record 1 2017-04-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
CONT

A reactor pressure vessel(RPV) of a boiling water reactor(BWR) typically has a generally cylindrical shape and is closed at both ends, e. g., by a bottom head and a removable top head. A core assembly is contained within the RPV and includes the core support plate, fuel assemblies, control rod blades and a top guide. A core shroud typically surrounds the core assembly and is supported by a shroud support structure. Particularly, the shroud has a generally cylindrical shape and surrounds both the core plate and the top guide. There is a space or annulus located between the cylindrical reactor pressure vessel and the cylindrically shaped shroud.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
CONT

Dans l’ABWR [réacteur à eau bouillante de type avancé], l’eau descend entre la jupe et la cuve, pénètre au centre par des ouvertures et remonte à l'intérieur de la jupe entre les tubes guides. Le haut de la jupe porte un anneau cylindrique massif de 5 m de diamètre et de 4 m de haut : l'enveloppe du cœur (core shroud).

Record 2 2017-04-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
CONT

The accumulator head method has replaced the ram accumulator in its applicability for heavy parts.... A tubular plunger quickly extrudes the melt from the head annulus with a low uniform pressure, which helps to reduce the stresses found in other systems.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Plasturgie
CONT

Pour les grosses capacités, on utilise souvent des têtes accumulatrices. La matière fondue entre par deux courbes en forme de cœur se recouvrant à 180°; elle arrive dans une chambre d'accumulation pour donner une préforme homogène annulaire.

Record 3 2004-09-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Equipment (Oil and Natural Gas Extraction)
  • Petroleum Distillation
DEF

A sealing device used to close the annular space around the kelly when drilling with pressure at the surface, usually installed above the main blowout preventers.

CONT

A rotating head makes it possible to drill ahead even when there is pressure in the annulus that the weight of the drilling fluid is not overcoming. The head prevents the well from blowing out.

Key term(s)
  • rotating BOP
  • rotating blow out preventer

French

Domaine(s)
  • Outillage (Extraction du pétrole et du gaz)
  • Distillation du pétrole
DEF

[Dispositif utilisé] généralement sur l'annulaire pour permettre de réaliser certaines opérations en pression, forage à l'air, forage à la mousse.

Record 4 1997-11-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
CONT

The accumulator head method has replaced the ram accumulator in its applicability for heavy parts.... A tubular plunger quickly extrudes the melt from the head annulus with a low uniform pressure, which helps to reduce the stresses found in other systems.

Key term(s)
  • tubular piston

French

Domaine(s)
  • Plasturgie
CONT

Principes des transferts. Pour de «faibles» quantités de matière, par rapport à la capacité de l'extrudeuse : systèmes avec un piston annulaire dans la tête d'équerre.

OBS

piston annulaire : Se retrouve sous l'entrée «tubular plunger accumulator head : tête accumulatrice à piston annulaire» dans la source DE-246E.

Record 5 1997-11-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
CONT

The [intermittent extrusion] process has three subcategories : the reciprocating screw method, the ram accumulator method, and the accumulator head method.... The accumulator head method has replaced the ram accumulator in its applicability for heavy parts. The reservoir, tubular in shape, is a part of the extrusion head itself. Plastic melt that enters the head first is also first to leave. A tubular plunger quickly extrudes the melt from the head annulus with a low uniform pressure, which helps to reduce the stresses found in other systems.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Plasturgie
OBS

Extrusion discontinue. Dans ce type d'extrusion, la matière est plastifiée puis stockée soit dans un pot d'accumulation, soit dans une tête d'accumulation adaptée à cet effet.

Key term(s)
  • extrusion avec tête accumulatrice
  • extrusion avec tête à accumulation
