The Hartford loop is a special arrangement of return piping at the boiler. Its purpose is to reduce the likelihood of an insignificant quantity of water creating a low water condition that can cause damage to a steam heating boiler. It came into general use in 1919 and was primarily designed for use with heating systems having gravity wet return. In effect, it consists of two loops of pipe forming two U-tubes. The first loop is around the boiler and the second loop is composed of the drip connection, the wet return, and a short riser called the loop riser.... The use of a Hartford loop is not recommended where the condensate is returned to the boiler by a condensate pump. 2, record 1, English, - Hartford%20loop

The effect of fabric compressibility on fabric permeability is still another concern of researchers. Schober and Teindl show that a compressive force of 100 kPa(146 psi) can reduce the k-value of highly compressible needle-felt fabrics by factors ranging between 2 and 8. This compressive force is roughly equal to fabric buried beneath 150 ft of dense soil. Most drains are installed to relatively shallow depths where compressive force on the fabric filter is relatively low and the potential for reduced permeability is insignificant. 1, record 3, English, - effect%20of%20fabric%20compressibility

... contrary to expectations, the current account balance does not receive much support as a useful indicator of crises. This may be because exchange rate changes may already reflect the behavior of the current account balance; in most of the studies where the effect of the current account balance was found to be insignificant, the real exchange rate did have a significant effect. 2, record 4, English, - current%20account%20balance

Contrariamente a lo que cabría suponer, el saldo en cuenta corriente no se considera un indicador válido de una posible crisis. Ello puede deberse a que la evolución de dicho saldo puede estar ya reflejada en las variaciones del tipo de cambio; en la mayoría de los estudios en los que se determinó que el efecto de ese indicador era insignificante, el tipo de cambio real sí tenía un efecto significativo. 4, record 4, Spanish, - balanza%20en%20cuenta%20corriente
