Mothballing is the process of stabilizing a facility so that no damage occurs to the facility should it make sense at a later time to incur the capital expenditures associated with continuing to operate, extending the life, or repowering the facility. Typically, a decision to mothball a facility might be made as a hedge against, or in anticipation of, changes in market conditions; i. e., increases in relative fuel prices, or an increase in the value of installed capacity.... Typical activities involved in mothballing a facility might include the following types of activities intended to preserve existing equipment :-’Racking Out’ or removal and storage of motor control center circuit breakers or 'switchgear’(this would also be done for a facility that has been retired and is scheduled for dismantling)-Placing a heat source or desiccants in the furnace to maintain a temperature above the dew point(at which condensation collects and corrodes the boiler structures.)-The application of grease or other coatings to reduce corrosion of components such as pumps and motors.-The installation of an air desiccant system to blow dry air through the steam turbine, condenser, boiler tubes and pipes.

CONT

decommissioning: Shutting down and placing a plant permanently out of service ... The three stages of decommissioning are mothballing, encasement and dismantling.

Domaine(s)
  • Sécurité
  • Centrales nucléaires
OBS

D'après un spécialiste en gestion des déchets nucléaires qui travaille chez Whiteshell Laboratories au Manitoba, «mise sous surveillance» est préférable.

OBS

Lorsqu'on veut signifier qu'un lieu, après avoir perdu sa destination première, ne comporte plus les équipements correspondants à sa fonction première, on utilise le terme «désaffectation».

OBS

«Mise sous cocon» nous apparaît un peu trop spécifique, la «coconisation» signifiant l'enrobage de matériel sous pellicule plastique pulvérisée. On pourrait peut-être songer à des expressions plus neutres, du type «mise sous protection», «entreposage de sécurité».

OBS

mise sous cocon : terme extrait du «Glossaire de l’énergie nucléaire» et reproduit avec l’autorisation de l’Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques.

  • Food Industries
  • Freezing and Refrigerating
CONT

The air blast chiller provides critical temperature control during conventional food preparation. The blast chiller is more efficient in cooling foods than the standard storage refrigerator.... Initially, the blast chiller was designed to support cook/chill programs where foods were prepared or cooked, rapidly cooled through the 140°F-45°F "danger zone, "and held in refrigerated inventories to be reheated and served later. Rapid cooling prolonged the safe storage life of these foods... Hence the blast chiller was developed, offering greater heat removal capacity and utilizing high-velocity, convected air directed through the product zone to promote fast, even cooling of foods.

CONT

Préparation commerciale d'aliments cuisson-refroidissement lorsque ces aliments peuvent se manger froids ou après réchauffement. Ce procédé est différent du refroidissement d'aliments comme on le fait habituellement, à la fois dans le volume d'aliments refroidis et dans la conception du procédé de refroidissement (c.-à-d., refroidissement rapide au moyen d'un refroidisseur à courant d'air ou d'un procédé documenté).

Record 5 1985-06-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Refrigerating Machines and Appliances
  • Air Conditioning and Heating
DEF

Rate of heat removal by a refrigerant in a refrigerating system. This equals the product of the mass rate of refrigerant flow in the system and the difference in specific enthalpies of the refrigerant at two designated points in the system or two designated thermodynamic states of the refrigerant. The term refrigerating effect is used to denote heat transfer to or from the refrigerant itself in a refrigeration system, whereas refrigerating capacity denotes the rate of heat removal from a medium or space to be cooled.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Machines frigorifiques
  • Conditionnement de l'air et chauffage
CONT

Production frigorifique (...) Une machine frigorifique soustrait de la chaleur à une température inférieure à celle du milieu environnant (...) pour rejeter ensuite cette chaleur vers l'extérieur (...) à une température plus élevée. Pour effectuer ce "transport" de chaleur d'un niveau inférieur (...) à un niveau supérieur (...), il faut mettre en jeu un travail sous forme d'énergie ou de chaleur (...)
