HOT HALF [3 records]

Record 1 2022-03-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ovens, Furnaces and Boilers (Heating)
DEF

A boiler in which the water to be vaporized is housed in a drum through which horizontal tubes (fire tubes) are run.

CONT

Fire-tube boilers may be designed for vertical, inclined, or horizontal positions. One of the most generally used types is the horizontal-return-tube (HRT) boiler. In the HRT boiler, part of the heat from the combustion gases is transferred directly to the lower portion of the shell. The gases then make a return pass through the horizontal tubes or flues before being passed into the stack.

CONT

The... horizontal return tube boiler... gets it's name from the horizontal fire tubes which run back-to-front through the lower half of the boiler drum. The gas burner is located under the front half of the boiler drum. The hot gases then pass to the rear of the fire box where they turn round and return to the front via the fire tubes and into the smoke box.(see this picture for a clearer description).

OBS

Gases from an external furnace are passed through the tubes for heat transfer to the drum water.

Les chaudières en fonte sectionnées sont réservées aux moyennes puissances (jusqu'à 1300 kW). Les chaudières de grande puissance (jusqu'à 5800 kW) sont généralement des chaudières sectionnées en acier, ou des chaudières à tubes de fumée verticaux ou horizontaux. Dans ce type de chaudières, les fumées effectuent un parcours dans des tubes qui servent de récupérateur et où elles perdent leur chaleur résiduelle.

Subject field(s)
  • Cooking Appliances
  • Hotel Equipment
CONT

New technology is set to invade the most important room in the house : the kitchen. Soon you’ll be able to throw out that ancient microwave and cook with a "flashbake" oven using photons, or units of electromagnetic radiation. This oven cooks food just like a conventional oven-cooking from the outside and browning food but in half the time. Appliances are also getting safer. A breakthrough called an induction stove focuses a magnetic field above the burner that boils water in 20 seconds, but will not burn anything else. Only the content of the pot become hot.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Appareils de cuisson des aliments
  • Équipement hôtelier
CONT

La cuisinière à induction, c'est un peu l'arlésienne de l'électroménager : tout le monde en a entendu parler avec enthousiasme, mais personne - ou presque - n'en a vu. LA PRESSE lève un coin du voile. La table de cuisson à induction appartient à la famille des surfaces en vitrocéramique [...].
