pompe à émulsion d'air : Une telle pompe se compose essentiellement d'une conduite dont l'extrémité inférieure est immergée dans un réservoir, et d'une autre conduite introduisant de l'air comprimé à proximité de l'extrémité immergée de la première conduite. L'air comprimé qui se mélange au liquide dans la conduite immergée forme un ensemble plus léger que le liquide, il se crée donc une poussée ascendante sur le fluide ainsi allégé. 4, record 1, French, - pompe%20%C3%A0%20%C3%A9mulsion%20d%27air

La bomba mamut consiste en una cañería cuyo extremo inferior, sumergido en el fondo del líquido, tiene una cámara en la cual se inyecta aire comprimido: la mezcla de agua y burbujas tiene menor peso específico que el agua del pozo y, por consiguiente, asciende por el tubo a pesar de que el extremo de éste se halla abierto. 1, record 1, Spanish, - bomba%20mamut

An airlift pump is a pump that has low suction and moderate discharge of liquid and entrained solids. The pump injects compressed air at the bottom of the discharge pipe which is immersed in the liquid. The compressed air mixes with the liquid causing the air-water mixture to be less dense than the rest of the liquid around it and therefore is displaced upwards through the discharge pipe by the surrounding liquid of higher density. 3, record 2, English, - airlift%20pump
