A gas burner in which the gas and air are mixed before they are introduced into the combustion chamber. Usually, the gas and air are both fed into a fan or blower, and the mixture is then blown into the combustion chamber. A premix burner burns with a short, hot flame with high heat release. Examples are Mechanical-premix, Fanmix, and Zero-Governor Burners. 4, record 3, English, - premix%20burner

There are a number of thermal [seaming] methods that can be used on thermoplastic geomembrane materials. Hot air uses a machine consisting of a resistance heater, a blower, and temperature controls to blow between two sheets to actually melt the surfaces. Usually, temperatures greater than 500 °F are required. Immediately following the melting of the surfaces, pressure by rollers is applied. 1, record 5, English, - hot%20air%20seam

Soudure thermique: Mode d'assemblage avec pression dans lequel les surfaces sont amollies par la chaleur. Celle-ci génère sur les deux surfaces à souder une température élevée provoquant une fusion partielle des matériaux à souder.

The Büttner Jet Dryer... consists of a stationary drying chamber, a blower arranged behind the drying to throw the particles into a cyclone, inlet and outlet rotary air locks, the furnace, and the connecting ductwork. This dryer has a fluidized bed with the material being fed into the drying chamber(drums) at one end. Hot air is blown into the drum from the bottom and subsequently flows through the bed of material. The furnish is moved forward by rotating raker arms with the material constantly spinning and rotating. 2, record 6, English, - chamber%20dryer

Forced Air Wood Furnaces. Central wood-burning furnaces are controlled by a wall mounted thermostat in the living area. Temperature and fan controls are the same as those found on oil and gas furnaces. Unlike room heaters, which produce a steady heat output by periodic manual adjustments of the draft control, most wood furnaces operate in cycles. A cycle starts with the thermostat sensing that heat is needed in the room where it is located. It signals the furnace control system which opens the combustion air damper and a hot fire develops. When the air inside the furnace's sheet metal casing gets hot, a preset fan control starts the circulating blower and the warm air is moved through the ducts to all areas of the house. 1, record 7, English, - forced%20air%20wood%20furnace
