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

AVT restricts the acid conductivity of the BW [boiler water] to [less than] 5 [microseconds]/cm for boiler with max. heat transfer of 250 kW/m² and for heat transfer above to [less than] 3 [microseconds]/cm.

Air is blown through the sand from the bottom which causes the bed to behave like a fluid. This fluid bed has an extremely high heat transfer rate which aids in combustion. Most of the combustion occurs in the fluid bed with the balance taking place in the vapour space above. Most fluid reactors add air only through the sand bed. 1, record 10, English, - sand%20bed

The condensate that forms in the dryer cylinders is removed by a specially-designed syphon assembly.... at the high speeds of modern paper machines, the condensate layer has become so immobilized that even a very thin layer is a significant impediment to heat flow. Fortunately, the condensate layer still has some peripheral motion at high machine speed. This motion can be converted into a wave action by means of "dryer bars" attached axially to the interior surface of the dryer cylinder. This wave action(called "sloshing") greatly decreases the thermal resistance of the rimming condensate, and thus allows an increased rate of heat transfer. 1, record 13, English, - sloshing

(...) vertical chambers-usually of circular cross-section-with grate hearths through which oxygen-bearing gas, usually air, is blown. As the concentrate is fed to the chamber, air is blown through the grate at a rate sufficient to hold the solid particles in suspension, the mixture of air and solids having the flow characteristics of a fluid. Since each sulfide particle is in constant turbulent motion in the furnace atmosphere, roasting is uniform and rapid, with efficient heat transfer and high oxygen utilization. 3, record 16, English, - fluid%20bed%20roaster

Dans les fours à lit fluidisé, le minerai [le zinc] est maintenu en suspension par l'air de grillage soufflé par le bas à un débit convenable. Dans certaines conditions, le lit de minerai en suspension se comporte comme un fluide; le contact air - particules de minerai est excellent, ce qui favorise la rapidité d'oxydation des sulfures. L'alimentation peut être constituée par du minerai fin ou granulé, la granulation permettant d'éviter un entraînement de poussière important. 1, record 16, French, - four%20%C3%A0%20lit%20fluidis%C3%A9

Steam-heated kilns. Steam is commonly used as a source of heat in kilns. The temperature of saturated steam varies with its pressure, and more radiating surface is required to maintain a given heat transfer rate with low steam pressure than with high pressure steam. 2, record 17, English, - steam%2Dheated%20kiln

Séchoirs chauffés à la vapeur. La vapeur est couramment utilisée dans les séchoirs comme source de chaleur. La température de la vapeur saturée varie avec sa pression; c'est pourquoi une plus grande surface de radiation est nécessaire pour maintenir un taux de transmission de chaleur donné si le séchoir fonctionne à la vapeur à basse pression plutôt qu'à haute pression. 1, record 17, French, - s%C3%A9choir%20chauff%C3%A9%20%C3%A0%20la%20vapeur
