Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 DEF
An injector which is camshaft-driven and incorporates a plunger. The plunger works in conjunction with orifices in the injection body to determine the beginning and end of injection. The plunger has a helix and is rotated by a rack so the beginning and end of injection can occur closer together or farther apart, thus shortening or lengthening the injection period and changing metering. A special pump which supplies fuel through an orifice to the injector operates at a pressure which is precisely controlled depending on the changes in engine speed. 3, record 3, English, - unit%20injector

A device by means of which a liquid or gaseous sample is introduced directly into the chromatographic column or is swept into the column by the mobile phase. 3, record 4, English, - injection%20port
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
An injection port is necessary in all g. c. [gas chromatography] and h. p. l. c. [high-performance liquid chromatography] systems in which syringe injection is employed. The injection port joins the top of the column to the mobile phase supply line, and has a third outlet through a small orifice covered by a self-sealing septum. Injection of samples is done by inserting the hypodermic syringe containing the sample through this septum so that the point of the needle is immediately above the head of the column. Design of the injection port must be such that it can be maintained at a uniform temperature and will possess a very small dead volume. 4, record 4, English, - injection%20port

Chambre d'injection pour liquides ou solutions. C'est le système le plus utilisé [...] le gaz porteur, de préférence préchauffé, entre dans une chambre chauffée, obturée par une pastille d'élastomère, le septum, qui assure l'étanchéité. À l'aide d'une seringue hypodermique de petite capacité, on pique au travers de la membrane, de telle manière que l'extrémité de l'aiguille arrive au-dessous du niveau de l'arrivée du gaz porteur, puis on pousse le piston pour réaliser l'injection. La condition demandée à la chambre d'injection est d'avoir un volume interne aussi petit que possible, pour limiter les volumes morts de l'appareil. Pour assurer la vaporisation instantanée de l'échantillon, l'injecteur est habituellement maintenu à une température au moins 30 °C plus élevée que celle du four contenant la colonne. 4, record 4, French, - chambre%20d%27injection

Oil furnaces. Indoor oil furnaces... are available in upflow, downflow, horizontal and low-boy configurations for ducted systems. They are also available as floor furnaces, wall furnaces, and free standing space heaters. Oil-fired outdoor furnaces and combination units are rare.... The ducted system, oil-fired, forced air furnaces are usually equipped with pressure-atomizing burners. The pump pressure and the orifice size of the injection nozzle regulate the firing rate of the furnace. Electric ignition is used to ignite the burners.... The combustion chamber and heat exchanger of oil-fired furnaces are normally formed as a common single chamber. It is formed from heavy gage steel into a welded assembly. The hot flue products flow through the inside of the heat exchanger into the chimney. The conditioned air flows over the outside of the heat exchanger and into the air supply plenum. 1, record 5, English, - oil%20furnace

Fournaise : Ce terme est considéré comme impropre par les puristes. Selon Dagenais, dans son "Dictionnaire des difficultés de la langue française au Canada", "fournaise" serait un calque de l'anglais "furnace" et nous devrions plutôt dire "chaudière" lorsque le fluide caloporteur est l'eau ou la vapeur et "générateur d'air chaud", lorsque le fluide, est l'air. Cependant, ce terme reste d'usage fréquent au Québec, autant en langue parlée qu'en langue écrite. 5, record 5, French, - g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rateur%20%C3%A0%20mazout
