The blow case is used to move liquids in instances where a conventional pump would be unsuitable (e.g., to transfer crude oil and water mixtures where the agitation of a pump would create undesirable emulsions). Blow cases are widely used to handle acids in laboratories and chemical plants. 1, record 1, English, - blow%20case

Séparateurs d'huile (...) Trois principes généraux sont utilisés pour assurer la séparation de l'huile des fluides frigorigènes, à savoir: ralentissement de la vapeur jusqu'à une vitesse telle que les gouttelettes ne soient plus maintenues en suspension dans le courant gazeux; ralentissement moins prononcé accompagné de changements de direction et de chocs sur un chicanage convenablement combiné (...); séparation centrifuge des gouttelettes d'huile accompagnée ou non d'un dispositif à chocs (...) D'une façon générale on admet que, dans le cas d'une séparation d'huile assurée uniquement par un ralentissement de vapeur, il faut réduire la vitesse à 0,5 ou à 0,6 m/s. Dans une séparateur garni d'un dispositif à tôle de chocs ou d'anneaux Raschig, on peut généralement calculer la section sur une vitesse de circulation comprise entre 0,7 et 1 m/s (...) 2, record 2, French, - dispositif%20%C3%A0%20chocs%20du%20s%C3%A9parateur
