Tapco's Tite Seal Cold Process Lap Cement is a high quality, fibered asphalt, solvent blend, of medium brushing consistency that provides a tough, permanent seal for laps of rolled roofing. It provides an even tighter longer lasting bond than hot asphalt without the disagreeable odor or smoke. This cold process product may also be used as an extra heavy bodied roof coating to seal cracks or resaturate old roofing layers. In some instances it may be used to patch roofs because of the extreme bonding quality of the product. 3, record 2, English, - lap%20cement

Blow heat evaporators typically take the form of a two-effect system in which flash steam(or hot condensate from the accumulator) is used as the heating medium for the first effect and vapors from the first effect are used as the heating medium in the second effect. Mechanical vapor recompression(MVR) raises vapor temperature through mechanical compression so that it can be re-used as the heating medium for evaporation.... Thermal recompression methods utilize high-pressure steam to entrain low-pressure vapor so that the resultant mixture(at intermediate pressure) can be used as the heat source for evaporation. 1, record 12, English, - mechanical%20vapor%20recompression

Le choix d'un équipement pour une usine moderne commande une étude minutieuse des avantages relatifs et du coût global des autres systèmes, principalement en termes d'épargnes d'énergie. Les méthodes de recompression thermique font appel à de la vapeur haute pression pour entraîner la vapeur basse pression de sorte que le mélange résultant (à pression intermédiaire) puisse être utilisé comme source de chaleur pour l'évaporation.

A variation of flash drying is embodied in the so-called "steam dryer", where fluffed pulp is dried in a medium of slightly superheated low-pressure steam rather than in hot air. Heat is transferred to the pulp and transport steam by indirectly condensing higher-pressure steam. The water evaporated from the pulp is removed from the steam as low-pressure steam suitable for process use in the pulp or paper mill. It is claimed that net heat consumption can be as low as one-fourth of that used in a conventional drying system. 1, record 13, English, - steam%20dryer
