There is an alternative between closed-and open-loop systems called standing column wells(SCWs). In a SCW, groundwater is pumped from the base of a deep well and directed to a heat exchanger.... A SCW consists of a long borehole mostly drilled in the bedrock and filled with groundwater... Typical installations use a PVC [polyvinyl chloride] pipe almost as long as the well within which a submersible pump is installed. In a conventional SCW, groundwater is pumped at the bottom of the well through a PVC pipe and returned below the dynamic level in the annular space of the borehole via a rejection pipe.... Before reinjecting the groundwater into the SCW, part of the flow rate can be diverted into a separate injection well. This process is called "bleed" and improves the system performance by attracting water from the undisturbed neighbouring ground through aquifer fractures. The bleed induces heat transfer by advection..., which improves significantly the thermal efficiency of the SCW. 2, record 1, English, - standing%20column%20well

Le fonctionnement des PCP repose sur l'utilisation de l'eau souterraine comme fluide caloporteur. L'eau est généralement prélevée à proximité de la surface à l'aide d'une pompe submersible et réinjectée à la base du puits. [...] Afin d'améliorer l'efficacité thermique des PCP en période de pointe, un procédé communément appelé «saignée» peut être employé. Cette méthode consiste à purger le PCP d'un faible pourcentage du débit de circulation, afin de stimuler un écoulement souterrain convergent vers le puits. Ce faisant, le renouvellement de l'eau contenue dans le PCP permet de stabiliser rapidement la température du fluide caloporteur à l'approche de la thermopompe. 3, record 1, French, - puits%20%C3%A0%20colonne%20permanente

Heat applied to grain during drying causes moisture inside the kernel to move to the surface where it is evaporated into the surrounding air, thus reducing moisture content in the kernel. Two basic types of grain driers have traditionally been used in terminals : the rack drier and the column drier. As well, new types such as concurrent, counterflow, and the microwave, have recently been introduced to the industry. 3, record 4, English, - grain%20dryer

Los granos oleaginosos, tienen que ser almacenados a humedades aún menores, 10 a 11%, y todavía más bajas, como en el caso de la calza. Así para conseguir la humedad adecuada del grano se utilizan las secadoras de granos. Al empezar la temporada la secadora debe estar lista para trabajar. Esto significa en primer lugar la limpieza total de la torre de secado.

Amine Sweetening Process... Rich amine is heated by hot regenerated lean amine in the heat exchanger. Rich amine is then further heated in the regeneration still column, by heat supplied from the reboiler. The steam rising through the still liberates H2S and CO2 and therefore regenerates the amine. Steam and acid gases separated from the rich amine are condensed and cooled, respectively, in the reflux condenser. Condensed steam is separated in the reflux accumulator and returned to the still. Acid gases may be flared or directed to an acid gas recovery system. 2, record 5, English, - reflux%20accumulator

In the MEA [mono-ethanol amine] process... the gases go to the absorption column where the carbon dioxide binds to the solvent chemically. Most of the CO2 is thus removed from the exhaust gas that is released to the atmosphere and the reach solution(i. e. the solution containing the absorbed CO2) flows to a lean/rich heat exchanger : here the hot lean solution, coming from the stripper column(regenerator), cools itself giving out its heat to the rich solution, which then goes to the regenerator. 5, record 6, English, - lean%2Frich%20heat%20exchanger

In most metallic [solar collector] systems, especially those using a number of metals or a reactive metal such as aluminum, the heat transfer fluid can have a significant impact on corrosion. In aqueous solutions, the concentration of dissolved chemicals, heavy metal ions, and pH of the fluid must be controlled. Deionized or demineralized water has been used successfully but additional steps are usually taken. These include the use of a gettering column to trap heavy metal ions before they enter critical parts of the system and inhibitors which stabilize the metal ions and reduce their reaction with less noble metals. 1, record 11, English, - gettering%20column
