CONT

A float tube, also known as a belly boat or kick boat, is a small, lightweight inflatable fishing craft which anglers use to fish from. They were originally doughnut-shaped boats with an underwater seat in the "hole, "but modern designs include a V-shape with pontoons on either side and the seat raised above the water allowing the legs of the angler to be the only part of his body to be submerged. Float tubes are used for many aspects of fishing, such as flyfishing for trout or lure fishing for largemouth bass, and enable the angler to fish areas otherwise not fishable from the bank.

Record 4 2000-05-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ovens, Furnaces and Boilers (Heating)
  • Outfitting of Ships
DEF

A horizontal, fire tube boiler consisting of a cylindrical steel shell with 1 or more cylindrical, internal combustion chambers located(generally) in the lower portion, and with a bank or banks(passes) of tubes attached to both end closures. The combustion chamber(s) and tubes are completely surrounded by water. A Scotch boiler is described by the number of passes, and whether it is a dryback boiler(for stationary service) or a wetback boiler(for marine or stationary service).

CONT

The Scotch marine boiler is a fire-tube boiler return tubular unit. It consists of a cylindrical shell containing the firebox and tubes. The tubes surround the upper portion of the firebox and are rolled into tube sheets on each end of the boiler. Combustion gases pass to the rear of the furnace, returning through the tubes to the front, where they are discharged to the stack.

CONT

Some Scotch boilers are fired from both ends; consequently they are called "double-ended Scotch boilers".

[In the] straight-tube boiler [, ] the main bank of tubes is straight and on a slope of 5 to 15 degrees from the horizontal. This type has further classification :[the sectional-header boiler, the box-header boiler, the cross-drum boiler and the longitudinal-drum boiler. In the] sectional-header boiler [, ] the tube bank is comprised of multiple parallel sections, each section having a front and rear header connected by vertical rows of tubes, all within a common drum.

Record 6 1996-05-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ovens, Furnaces and Boilers (Heating)
  • Paper Manufacturing Processes
CONT

In a typical pulp and/or paper mill, about one-half of the process steam is used "indirectly" in tube banks, drying cylinders, and heating jackets. In these applications, the condensate is available for return to the boiler house. A condensate return system involves capital costs for pumps, tanks, traps and piping, but is easily justified because of heat credits and savings in raw water treatment. Where contamination of the condensate is possible (as, for example, with evaporators or black liquor heaters), some method of monitoring the condensate must be employed to prevent return of a fouled stream.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fours et chaudières (Chauffage)
  • Fabrication du papier
CONT

Dans les papeteries classiques, on consomme la moitié de la vapeur indirectement dans les faisceaux de tubes, les cylindres ou les chemises pour chauffer ou vaporiser la matière de l'autre côté de la paroi. Dans ces applications, on peut renvoyer les condensats dans le générateur. Les circuits de retour des condensats entraînent des frais d'investissement au titre de l'acquisition des pompes, des réservoirs, des séparateurs et des canalisations, mais ces frais sont amplement contrebalancés par les économies réalisées au titre du traitement des eaux. Quand les condensats peuvent être contaminés (par exemple dans le cas des évaporateurs ou des réchauffeurs de liqueur noire), il faut contrôler leur état pour éviter de recirculer un liquide pollué.
