Active ventilation is a system that uses powered machines like fans to push and circulate air in order to ventilate a space.... Active ventilation in a roof or attic may look similar to passive ventilation systems, with soffit and ridge vents, except that active systems have the addition of a fan to push out hot air and pull in cool outside air. 1, record 1, English, - active%20ventilation

A built-up roofing consists of plies or layers of roofing felt bonded together on site with hot bitumen. A protective surface coating of gravel or slag is sometimes embedded in a heavy top coating of hot bitumen. It is laid down to conform to the roof deck, and to protect all angles formed by the roof deck with projecting surfaces, and forms a single-unit flexible waterproofed membrane fastened to the deck by cementing and nailing. The simple principle on flat roofs is to turn the membrane up to form a skirting or base flashing on the vertical surfaces, making a large watertight tray. The only outlets from this tray are the roof drains to dispose of water. 3, record 6, English, - build%2Dup%20roofing

Le bitume est un terme générique décrivant les mélanges naturels de carbures d'hydrogène se présentant sous une forme visqueuse ou solide; dans l'industrie de la toiture le mot bitume signifie soit de l'asphalte soit du brai de goudron. À l'état solide ces matériaux se ressemblent mais leurs caractéristiques sont quelque peu différentes. La plupart de l'asphalte employé au Canada pour imprégner ou imperméabiliser les matériaux de couverture ou les toitures en terrasse provient de la distillation du pétrole suivie d'un certain raffinage lequel permet d'obtenir les propriétés que l'on désire. On trouve également des dépôts solides d'asphalte à l'état naturel dans certaines parties du monde. On obtient le brai de goudron en distillant des goudrons grossiers provenant de la carbonisation de la houille. La propriété qu'a le brai de goudron de couler à froid facilite le bouchage automatique des fissures mais elle empêche qu'on l'utilise sur des toits trop en pente. Sur les toits à faible pente on peut employer des asphaltes dont le point de fusion n'est pas élevé tandis que sur les toits à pente raide on peut employer des asphaltes dont le point de fusion est élevé. C'est pourquoi l'asphalte a davantage d'applications que le brai de goudron. 2, record 7, French, - brai%20%C3%A0%20couverture

Most vinyl roofing membranes are sealed using hot air, which can be compared to welding metal. The process joins two rolls of membranes at the overlap areas(without using another dissimilar material) to create one monolithic layer that covers the entire roof. The heat-welded, permanently fused seams on vinyl roofing membrane form a watertight seal, and their peel strength can be critical to the roof system's long-term performance against wind forces. 3, record 9, English, - monolithic%20layer

Air washers make use of water sprays or cooling coils for evaporative and sensible cooling of mine air. Their use has largely been limited to shallow coal mines in the United States where it is desirable to reduce the dry-bulb temperature of the intake air during the hot summer months to prevent slaking of the roof due to excessive expansion. An air washer is essentially a heat exchanger and is similar to the type of unit employed for heat transfer with refrigeration or evaporative cooling systems. 3, record 16, English, - air%20washer
