English

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
OBS

Two main types of sample splitter are in common use, known as calibrated lead devices, and dividing valves. Most of these are based upon the principle that the head of the capillary column constitutes only a small proportion of the total outlet from the sample injection block. As the carrier gas enters the block it carries a small amount of the sample into the capillary column while the remainder is vented away through a larger opening. This can be done by having the capillary column held at the axis of a circular hole in the injection block, or by having it forming a narrow arm of a T- or Y-piece at the column head. In either case the amount going into the capillary column can often be further regulated by means of a tapered needle control.

Record 2 2000-02-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cooling and Ventilating Systems
DEF

Blade or blades fitted across an air duct to divide it into a number of flows in parallel, used mainly at bends.

CONT

The least desirable flow condition is one that causes spin or swirl to develop in the airstream at the fan inlet. Spin in the rotational direction of the impeller reduces the fan output and efficiency. Figure 13 illustrates the use of turning vanes to correct inlet prerotating swirl at a centrifugal fan.

CONT

Inlet swirl, or vorticity, is a frequent cause of reduction in fan performance. If the spin is imparted in the direction of wheel rotation, a situation corresponding to the use of inlet vanes arises : the fan volume, pressure, and horsepower are lower than expected. If the air spin is counter to wheel rotation, the volume and static pressure will be greater than expected and the brake horsepower will also be greater. In either case, spin always reduces efficiency. These conditions are readily overcome by installing vanes and a splitter at the fan inlet...

OBS

The term "inlet vane" was found in OSBORNE, W.C. "Woods Practical Guide to fan Engineering, 1956, p.154.

French

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

Lames disposées en travers d'une gaine d'air afin d'établir plusieurs écoulements parallèles, employées surtout dans les coudes.

CONT

Lorsque les conditions à l'entrée du ventilateur sont très mauvaises, il se crée à cet endroit une turbulence. Une turbulence dans le sens de rotation de la roue réduit la puissance de sortie et le rendement du ventilateur. Dans la figure 13, des pales directionnelles sont installées pour corriger la turbulence prérotative à l'entrée d'un ventilateur centrifuge.

Record 3 1999-09-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
DEF

A T-fitting attached to the column to divert a portion of the flow. An inlet splitter allows introduction of very small samples to a capillary column. An effluent splitter may be used to permit parallel operation of two detectors.

OBS

The stream splitter serves to divide the effluent in order that part can pass to the detector and part to the fraction collector or to a second detector.

Record 4 1991-01-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cooling and Ventilating Systems
CONT

Figure 15 shows a centrifugal fan installed with the inlet close to a wall without and with a splitter. Without the splitter, the airflows from opposite directions collide and cause turbulence at the fan inlet. With the splitter, the airflows cannot collide and the inlet resistance to the fan is reduced, thus improving fan performance.

CONT

Vanes and splitter prevent swirl in inlet box.... A splitter overcomes the imbalance that is due to unequal inlets.

French

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

Les ventilateurs centrifuges se prêtent bien à un réglage du débit par création d'une rotation préalable de la veine d'air entrant dans la roue au moyen d'un aubage orientable dit "inclineur"; [...] Il faut remarquer qu'un tel dispositif de réglage, qui n'est qu'une application de la théorie générale des turbomachines s'applique également aux ventilateurs hélicoïdes.

CONT

Inclineurs à l'aspiration. Il s'agit d'un jeu de pales directrices orientables placées devant l'ouïe d'aspiration et communiquant à l'air une prérotation de même sens (diminution de pression) ou de sens contraire (augmentation de pression) au sens de rotation de la roue du ventilateur. Applicable aux hélicoïdes aussi bien qu'aux centrifuges ce dispositif présente sur le registre l'avantage de mieux proportionner la puissance absorbée au débit, mais est évidemment plus compliqué.
