INJECTION FAN [5 records]

Record 1 2002-03-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Drainage and Irrigation (Agric.)
CONT

Microsprayers, also called mini-sprinklers or spitters, are similar in principle to drip systems in that water is applied only to a fraction of the ground surface. However, instead of dripping water from narrow-orifice emitters, microsprayer systems eject fine jets that fan out from a series of nozzles. Each nozzle can water an area of several square metres, which tends to be much larger than the individual areas wetted by single drip emitters.... microsprayer irrigation retains the potential benefits of drip irrigation : it permits high-frequency, low-volume irrigation as well as the injection of fertilizers into the water supply.

Key term(s)
  • micro-sprayer irrigation

Microsprayers, also called mini-sprinklers or spitters, are similar in principle to drip systems in that water is applied only to a fraction of the ground surface. However, instead of dripping water from narrow-orifice emitters, microsprayer systems eject fine jets that fan out from a series of nozzles. Each nozzle can water an area of several square metres, which tends to be much larger than the individual areas wetted by single drip emitters.... thanks to the larger nozzle orifices and the greater rate of discharge, the hazard of clogging is reduced and the filtration requirements are not as stringent as in the case of drip irrigation.... The pressure requirements, however, remain in the order of one to two atmospheres-lower than those for regular sprinklers but still requiring pumpage or a commanding reservoir elevation of 10 metres or more. In other respects, microsprayer irrigation permits high-frequency, low-volume irrigation as well as the injection of fertilizers into the water supply.... Microsprayer systems are served by the same tubing network as drip systems.

[...] système, utilisé en verger, [...] caractérisé par la distribution de l'eau au moyen de petits diffuseurs fixes, appelés mini-diffuseurs, de débits de l'ordre de 20 à 150 litres par heure [...]

CONT

Irrigation localisée par mini-diffuseurs. [Les mini-diffuseurs] réalisent de petites aspersions localisées au voisinage des arbres. La rampe peut être soit posée sur le sol, soit enterrée, soit fixée à un fil de palissage. Deux procédés existent actuellement : les «microjets» originaires d'Afrique du Sud et les «spitters», originaires de Californie.

OBS

Irrigation par mini-diffuseurs. [...] Ce procédé est plus rustique que le goutte à goutte.

Subject field(s)
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
  • Gas Welding
  • Burners and Steamfitting
  • Combustion and Fuels (Fireplaces)
DEF

A device for mixing gas and air, such as a fan, aspirator, or inspirator. In an injection type burner, it is the combination of mixer head, mixer throat, and mixer tube.

CONT

in the medium-pressure torch, the gases are mixed in a gas mixer.

  • Combustion et combustibles (Foyers)
CONT

Le brûleur dont il est question est conçu pour l'évaporation par rotation suivi de combustion du mélange combustible-air sur un porte-flamme cylindrique. Le combustible est acheminé vers la cuve du diffuseur par une pompe de dosage à oscillation modulable, forme un film d'huile sur le bord de cuve et s'évapore finalement sur une surface d'évaporation chauffée.

CONT

[dans les chalumeaux à haute pression] les deux courants de gaz se rejoignent au moyen d'un dispositif à passage très étroit [...] appelé diffuseur.

Subject field(s)
  • Cooling and Ventilating Systems
  • Recording and Control Instrumentation
CONT

Dedicated outside air injection fan can be utilized to assure building outside air supply. Tracking these fans--i. e., air flow monitoring and measurement--is more easily accomplished than other methods, which use return air fan tracking with the supply fan or return air/outside air mixing chamber pressure controls.

CONT

Fan Tracking Systems. Some engineers believe the way to control minimum ventilation volume is to reduce return fans and a fan tracking system. The most accurate fan tracking system is volumetric tracking. This control method attempts to maintain a fixed differential between the supply fan and return fan volumes.

CONT

Figure 2 shows a simplified drawing of a control system using a separate injection fan, which ensures that the minimum outdoor air is supplied. The injection fan runs whenever the system requires outdoor air. Its ductwork is sized so that velocity pressures are easily readable. An airflow-measuring station... adjusts the injection fan volume to correct for wind effects or back pressures.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Systèmes de refroidissement et de ventilation
CONT

Suivant la position du ventilateur sur [le] réseau, le ventilateur est dit introducteur, extracteur ou recycleur; un introducteur d'air souffle dans un local de l'air pris à l'extérieur et mélangé éventuellement avec de l'air repris dans le local lui-même; cette disposition met le local en surpression et tend à combattre les infiltrations d'air venant de l'extérieur du local; [...]

OBS

insufflateur. Aérateur équipé d'un ventilateur électrique, ouvrant en partie basse d'une paroi de chaufferie ou d'un local en sous-sol dont la ventilation nécessite une entrée d'air frais en surpression. Appareil fonctionnant à l'inverse de l'extracteur d'air.
