Normal fuelling is accomplished through dual fuel nozzle adapters located on the right wing leading edge spar at the fuelling stations. All fuelling operations, except fuel pump control, are accomplished at the fuelling station. Opening the station access door applies DC power to the fuelling system and removes the N3 inhibit to the centre tank fuel pumps. Fuel flows through the dual nozzles to pressurise a fuelling manifold. Fuelling valves control the flow of fuel from the fuelling manifold into each of the three switches on the fuelling panel. A fuel quantity may be preselected for each tank. The fuelling valves close automatically when the preselected quantity is reached or when the tank is full, whichever occurs first. A tank overfill system is provided to prevent fuel spillage. If any fuel is sensed in the surge tanks during fuelling, a signal is sent to close all fuelling valves. The aircraft is filled automatically by hydrant or tank truck pressure. All tanks may be fuelled at the same time. The main tanks may also be fuelled manually through over wing fill ports. There are no over wing fill ports for the centre tank. 4, record 2, English, - fuelling%20station

Drainage of pleural or ascitic fluid should be carried out slowly, at a rate of not more than about 1500 ml per hour, and the total quantity of fluid removed on any single occasion should not exceed about 1500 ml because of the risk of fluid shifts from the vascular to the extravascular compartment, with consequently inadequate ventricular filling pressures. 3, record 4, English, - drainage

A major improvement ... was the development of the Geodrain by O. Wager in about 1970. This consists of a corrugated polyethylene core enclosed within a sheath of treated paper about 95 mm by 4 mm. However, even this specially-treated paper has a short life ... This limitation is now avoided by the use of geotextiles for the outer sheath. These have the advantages of greater permeability and durability compared with the treated paper. 2, record 7, English, - geodrain

Les géotextiles sont des matériaux qui possèdent généralement une forte perméabilité comparativement aux sols environnants. Lorsqu'en plus ils sont dotés d’une forte épaisseur, des circulations de fluides sont possibles dans leur structure à condition d’appliquer judicieusement des charges pour créer un gradient d’écoulement. On peut donc assimiler un géotextile à un drain capable de dissiper les pressions interstitielles, de collecter et de conduire le fluide vers un exutoire. La fonction drain est particulièrement intéressante, car les géotextiles se présentent sous forme de nappes; leur surface de contact est importante, et par conséquent leur possibilité de captage d’eau est grande. 2, record 7, French, - drain%20g%C3%A9otextile
