Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Radiators, convectors, and baseboard and finned tube units are types of heat-distributing devices commonly used in steam and low temperature water heating systems. They supply heat through a combination of radiation and convection, and their function is to maintain the desired air temperature in the space. In general, these types of heat-distributing units should be placed at the points of greatest heat loss of the space to offset or counteract these losses. For example, such units are commonly located under windows, along exposed walls, and at door openings. 6, record 5, English, - heating%20unit

Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Une bonne efficacité de ce processus exige une densité d'environ 200 chaufferettes à l'hectare. Ces dispositifs, qui, par nuit de forte gelée, nécessitent la combustion de 200 à 400 litres de fuel par heure et par hectare, sont évidemment coûteux. Ils ont été largement utilisés tant que les prix du pétrole étaient bas. On peut apporter les calories nécessaires à la lutte contre le gel par des procédés plus coûteux à l'installation; mais beaucoup plus économiques sous l'angle énergétique, notamment grâce aux techniques d'aspersion antigel. 3, record 7, French, - chaufferette
