Le thermostat à soupape simple contrôle seulement la circulation du liquide de refroidissement vers le radiateur, et le circuit de dérivation demeure ouvert constamment. La circulation vers le radiateur passe par le sommet de la soupape du thermostat. 1, record 1, French, - thermostat%20%C3%A0%20soupape%20simple

The side bypass thermostat functions similarly to the poppet type. It has a circular sleeve below the valve that moves with the valve as it opens. This partially blocks the bypass circuit and, in doing so, directs most of the coolant flow to the radiator. 1, record 2, English, - side%20bypass%20thermostat

Le thermostat à dérivation latérale fonctionne de façon similaire à celui de type à soupape simple. Il possède un manchon circulaire en dessous de la soupape qui se déplace avec la soupape durant lʼouverture de celle-ci : ce mouvement bloque partiellement le circuit de dérivation et dirige la circulation en grande partie vers le radiateur. 1, record 2, French, - thermostat%20%C3%A0%20d%C3%A9rivation%20lat%C3%A9rale

The SRMS [Shuttle Remote Manipulator System] is covered over its entire length with a multi-layer insulation thermal blanket system which provides passive thermal control. This material consists of alternate layers of godized Kapton, Dacron scrim cloth and a Beta cloth outer covering. In extreme cold conditions, thermostatically controlled electric heaters (resistance elements) attached to critical mechanical and electronic hardware can be powered on to maintain a stable operating temperature. 2, record 3, English, - thermostatically%20controlled%20electric%20heater

Le SRMS [Shuttle Remote Manipulator System] est entièrement recouvert d’un système de protection thermique constitué de couches multiples servant de contrôle thermique passif. Ce matériau consiste en une alternance de couches de Kapton formé (godized Kapton), de canevas de Dacron et de revêtement extérieur Bêta. Dans des conditions de froid extrême, des radiateurs électriques thermostatés (éléments de résistance) fixés aux éléments mécaniques et électroniques vitaux peuvent être activés afin de maintenir une température de fonctionnement stable. 2, record 3, French, - radiateur%20%C3%A9lectrique%20%C3%A0%20thermostat

Tout comme le soleil, un radiateur à infrarouges chauffe les gens et les objets de façon directe et immédiate sans chauffer au préalable l'air environnant. On peut utiliser ce type de radiateur si l'on assure une ventilation, soit comme source primaire de chauffage, soit comme source supplémentaire.(...) De nombreux radiateurs au gaz naturel ou au propane à infrarouges utilisent la combustion catalytique sans flamme, une commande de thermostat intégrée et un allumage électrique. 1, record 4, French, - radiateur%20%C3%A0%20infrarouges
