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

La boîte à gants permettra aux astronautes à bord de la Station spatiale internationale de procéder à de nombreuses expériences dans le domaine des matériaux, de la combustion, des fluides et de la technologie et de conduire des études sur l'environnement en microgravité. Elle devrait être lancée dans le mini-module logistique pressurisé en mai 2002. Cette installation scientifique offre un volume de travail clos et étanche ; elle est équipée de branchements pour l'éclairage, les dispositifs mécaniques, l'électricité, les données, le gaz et le vide et d'une régulation thermique pour mener à bien les expériences. On accède au volume de travail par des gants intégrés qui isolent l'expérience de l'environnement et de l'opérateur. La MSG [Microgravity Science Glovebox] est montée dans un bâti de charge utile international normalisé (ISPR) ; elle peut être utilisée en mode ouvert, l'air circulant alors du volume de travail vers la cabine de la Station spatiale, ou en mode fermé, l'air ne circulant qu'à l'intérieur de la MSG.

Radiative heat rejection(i. e., heat dissipation) is necessary for some Cassini spacecraft components, and this is accomplished by thermal louvers. The thermal louver assemblies provide thermostatically positioned, low-emissivity blades located over a high-emissivity radiative mounting surface. The blades are mounted in such a way as to minimize their thermal coupling to the mounting surface. When the blades are opened, the mounting surface is exposed to space, thereby providing heat rejection from that surface. 2, record 8, English, - thermal%20louver

Thermal Management. A moderate-temperature water loop is provided via a 1. 3 cm(0. 5 in) line with a quick-disconnect to each ISPR [International Standard Payload Rack] at an inlet temperature range of 16-24°C(61-75°F). The water is circulated through heat exchangers and stainless steel cold plates to allow thermal conditioning of the internal payload hardware. The water flow is controlled within the U. S. Lab and the JEM [Japanese Experiment Module] to optimize the heat rejection efficiencies of the system. The maximum return water temperature is 49°C(120°F). Inside a payload rack, an avionics air/heat exchanger assembly can be connected to the loop to remove up to 1200 W by circulating air. 2, record 12, English, - moderate%2Dtemperature%20water%20loop
