Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
There are two sub-types : pure suspension and cyclonic. Pure suspension units are true "burners" in that a stable open flame(similar to a gas or oil burner flame) is created by air jets that are usually mounted in the wall of the combustor or boiler. Cyclonic suspension units have a refractory cylindrical combustion chamber into which the fuel particles and air are introduced tangentially. The long cyclonic gas circulation keeps the fuel circulating in the chamber, resulting in complete combustion of the fuel, but all ash normally exits with the hot exhaust gases. Fuel is fed to both types of these burners by pneumatic feeders with the fuel air stream forming the primary air supply. 2, record 3, English, - suspension%20burner

Il en existe deux types : les chaudières à suspension intégrale et les chaudières cyclones. Les premières sont de vrais brûleurs du fait qu'elles créent une flamme nue stable (semblable à celle d'un brûleur à gaz ou au mazout) avivée par des jets d'air habituellement montés sur la paroi de la chaudière. Les chaudières à cyclone sont pourvues d'une chambre de combustion cylindrique en matière réfractaire, dans laquelle les particules combustibles et l'air sont introduits tangentiellement. La longue période de circulation cyclonique des gaz dans la chambre assure la combustion complète mais, normalement, toutes les cendres sont évacuées avec les gaz de combustion chauds. Le combustible est acheminé dans ces deux types de brûleurs à l'aide de dispositifs d'alimentation pneumatiques, et le flux d'air transportant le combustible assure l'alimentation en air primaire. 1, record 3, French, - chaudi%C3%A8re%20%C3%A0%20lit%20en%20suspension

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Early warm-air systems delivered air to and from rooms by gravity circulation in large ducts connected to the furnace in the basement. Since the only force producing circulation was that due to the small difference in density between the hot supply air and the cold return air, a satisfactory volume of air could be moved only by providing very large air ducts and registers and heating the air to a high temperature. The result was a very bulky system that produced hot air at the ceiling and cold air on the floor. 3, record 4, English, - gravity%20warm%2Dair%20heating%20system

Exhaust heat recovery. Exhaust heat may be used to make steam, or used directly for drying or other processes. The steam thus produced will provide space heating, hot water, and absorption refrigeration, which may supply air conditioning and process refrigeration. Heat recovery systems generally involve equipment specifically tailored for the job, although conventional firetube boilers are sometimes used....
