There is an alternative between closed-and open-loop systems called standing column wells(SCWs). In a SCW, groundwater is pumped from the base of a deep well and directed to a heat exchanger.... A SCW consists of a long borehole mostly drilled in the bedrock and filled with groundwater... Typical installations use a PVC [polyvinyl chloride] pipe almost as long as the well within which a submersible pump is installed. In a conventional SCW, groundwater is pumped at the bottom of the well through a PVC pipe and returned below the dynamic level in the annular space of the borehole via a rejection pipe.... Before reinjecting the groundwater into the SCW, part of the flow rate can be diverted into a separate injection well. This process is called "bleed" and improves the system performance by attracting water from the undisturbed neighbouring ground through aquifer fractures. The bleed induces heat transfer by advection..., which improves significantly the thermal efficiency of the SCW. 2, record 1, English, - standing%20column%20well

Le fonctionnement des PCP repose sur l'utilisation de l'eau souterraine comme fluide caloporteur. L'eau est généralement prélevée à proximité de la surface à l'aide d'une pompe submersible et réinjectée à la base du puits. [...] Afin d'améliorer l'efficacité thermique des PCP en période de pointe, un procédé communément appelé «saignée» peut être employé. Cette méthode consiste à purger le PCP d'un faible pourcentage du débit de circulation, afin de stimuler un écoulement souterrain convergent vers le puits. Ce faisant, le renouvellement de l'eau contenue dans le PCP permet de stabiliser rapidement la température du fluide caloporteur à l'approche de la thermopompe. 3, record 1, French, - puits%20%C3%A0%20colonne%20permanente

Flashing should be installed as roofing progresses to prevent water damage to insulation or deck under the roofing. If this is not possible, water stops must be installed and completely removed prior to continuation. Metal counterflashing must be installed as flashing progresses. The basic Koppers flashings require the use of metal counterflashing. When using throughwall counterflashing, it is recommended that the designer specify two piece counterflashing to facilitate ease of flashing installation, maintenance and repair. Metal counterflashing is to have not less than a four(4) inch(102 mm) exposed apron extending down over the base flashing. 3, record 4, English, - metal%20counterflashing

Flashings are used to make watertight any roof area where the roof membrane terminates, is interrupted, or intersects an area or projection having a marked change in slope or direction... Flashings are generally divided into two categories :base flashings and counterflashings. Base flashings are, in a sense, a continuation of the membrane, turned up onto a surface that is in a different plane from the field of the roof, and installed as a separate operation. They are usually fabricated using a nonmetallic material, such as an asphalt-coated felt. Counterflashings, or cap flashings, can be of metal, coated felt, or other materials. They shield and seal the exposed edges of the base flashing. The combined use of non-metallic materials for base flashings and metal for counterflashings brings out the best in each material. Bituminous base flashing materials have the same coefficient of expansion and contraction as the roof membrane, and they work together as a unit. They are the only type of material acceptable for use in constructing base flashings. 2, record 7, English, - bituminous%20base%20flashing

Le solin de base peut être un prolongement de la membrane de couverture ou être constitué d'un autre matériau qui est liaisonné à la membrane pour former un joint étanche à l'eau. Il monte le long des surfaces verticales pour acheminer l'eau à la membrane. Si le toit se termine à un parapet ou à une chanlatte, le solin de base devrait passer par-dessus cette construction et être fixé à l'extérieur, par exemple à une bande de clouage. On réduit ainsi au minimum les risques que de l'eau s'infiltre derrière le solin de base et dans le toit. 3, record 7, French, - solin%20de%20base%20bitumineux

Après avoir quitté la Station par le compartiment d'amarrage russe Pirs, Iouri Onoufrienko et Carl Walz ont installé la seconde partie d'une grue russe, la première ayant déjà été installée sur Pirs. Ils ont utilisé la grue opérationnelle, baptisée Strela 1 (mot russe qui signifie «flèche»), pour en relocaliser une autre semblable qui avait été rangée sur la paroi extérieure du tunnel qui relie les modules Unity et Zarya. Cette deuxième grue appelée Strela 2 a été déplacée le long de Pirs et installée de l'autre côté du compartiment d'amarrage et du sas à 18 h 31 (HNC). 1, record 13, French, - Strela%202
