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. 2, record 3, English, - mothballing

Les membres du Groupe ont découvert et développé des occasions de recourir au chauffage et à la climatisation de quartier, au chauffage et à la production d'électricité combinés (cogénération), à la récupération de la chaleur résiduelle, au stockage thermique et aux sources locales d'énergies renouvelables, particulièrement la biomasse. Parmi les intérêts du Groupe, on compte la planification et la mise en œuvre de projets dans les centres urbains et les collectivités éloignées, l'élaboration de logiciels pour la conception de systèmes, l'amélioration du rendement propre aux systèmes de climatisation de quartier, et l'encouragement à adopter des systèmes énergétiques combinés. 1, record 4, French, - Groupe%20des%20syst%C3%A8mes%20%C3%A9nerg%C3%A9tiques%20dans%20les%20collectivit%C3%A9s

Parmi les modifications les plus importantes qui aient été décidées, on peut signaler celle concernant l’échangeur du système d’aspersion dans l’enceinte de confinement. C’est cet échangeur qui serait chargé d’évacuer la puissance résiduelle issue du combustible en cas d’accident de rupture d’une tuyauterie du circuit primaire. Pour préserver du risque de contamination l’eau de la rivière ou de la mer assurant l’évacuation finale de cette énergie, cet échangeur est, habituellement, refroidi par un système de refroidissement intermédiaire dans des conditions de pression relatives qui évitent tout transfert de radioactivité vers l’environnement par cette voie (pratique de barrières successives). 2, record 6, French, - %C3%A9changeur%20du%20syst%C3%A8me%20d%26rsquo%3Baspersion%20de%20l%26rsquo%3Benceinte%20de%20confinement

A separate storage tank is required with an indirect water heater. Like the tankless coil, the indirect water heater circulates water through a heat exchanger in the boiler. But this heated water then flows to an insulated storage tank. Because the boiler does not need to operate frequently, this system is more efficient than the tank-less coil. In fact, when an indirect water heater is used with a highly efficient boiler, the combination may provide one of the least expensive methods of water heating. 1, record 15, English, - indirect%20water%20heater

Lors de l'établissement du bilan thermique d'une installation de conditionnement d'air, il est souvent nécessaire de tenir compte de l'inertie thermique que présentent certains assemblages de maçonnerie quant à la transmission de la chaleur au travers des murs de forte épaisseur. Il se produit alors un décalage («heat lag») dans la transmission thermique, qu'on évalue par le temps s'écoulant entre l'instant où le phénomène thermique a eu lieu (radiations solaires, par exemple) et le moment de l'apparition de son effet. Ce temps varie de 3 heures (murs en briques de 15 cm, par exemple) à 10 heures dans le cas de murs en briques pleines ou en béton de plus de 40 cm. 2, record 18, French, - amortissement%20thermique
