Active soil depressurization has been found to be the most effective and reliableradon reduction technique in existing homes ... This method involves installing a vent pipe through the basement floor slab ... or connecting it to the foundation drain tiles through the sump. A fan that runs continuously is connected to the vent pipe. This reverses the air pressure difference between the house and soil, reducing concentrations of soil gas, including radon, next to the foundation. 3, record 1, English, - active%20soil%20depressurization

Dans les maisons déjà construites, la dépressurisation active du sol s’est révélée être la meilleure technique de réduction du radon par son efficacité et sa fiabilité. [...] Il faut installer un tuyau d’évacuation qui traverse la dalle de plancher [...] ou le relier au tuyau de drainage périmétrique en passant par le puisard. On adjoint au tuyau d’évacuation un ventilateur qui fonctionne en permanence. En inversant la différence entre la pression à l'intérieur de la maison et celle du sol, cette technique permet de réduire les concentrations de gaz souterrains, dont le radon, autour des fondations. 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9pressurisation%20active%20du%20sol

The condensing gas furnace ... operates at levels of efficiency of up to 95 per cent by condensing and recuperating the flue gases that would otherwise dissipate through the chimney. The condensing gas furnace also uses electrical ignition rather than a pilot flame, to minimize energy losses between combustion periods. 4, record 2, English, - condensing%2Dgas%20furnace

Condensing Gas Furnace. Gas furnaces shall be of natural gas fired warm air condensing type complete with casing, combustion chambers, fan and motor, space thermostats, controls, supply air filters, in-line intake and exhaust mufflers, hangers, brackets and structural supporting frames, etc., to provide tempered make-up air. 5, record 2, English, - condensing%2Dgas%20furnace

Les générateurs d’air chaud à condensation alimentés au gaz sont les appareils les plus efficaces offerts sur le marché, avec un rendement saisonnier de l'ordre de 90 à 97 p. 100. [...] Dans la plupart des modèles à condensation, le brûleur est semblable à celui d’un appareil ordinaire, le tirage étant assuré par un ventilateur à tirage aspiré. Toutefois, des surfaces d’échange thermique supplémentaires, faites de matériaux anticorrosion(généralement de l'acier inoxydable), extraient la chaleur des sous-produits de combustion avant leur évacuation. Là où se fait la condensation et l'échange thermique, les gaz de combustion sont refroidis au point où leur vapeur d’eau se condense, libérant ainsi plus de chaleur dans la maison. Le condensat est acheminé à un avaloir. [...] Les gaz de combustion sont alors suffisamment refroidis pour être évacués par un tuyau en plastique PVC ou ABS traversant un mur extérieur de la maison plutôt que par une cheminée. 1, record 2, French, - g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rateur%20d%27air%20chaud%20%C3%A0%20condensation%20aliment%C3%A9%20au%20gaz
