peer agreement (net): +1| vide", "ligne", "atelier", and "poste" vacuum/purge, line, central unit/valveset, unit Explanation: "Vide" in many contexts is "vacuum". Here though, I imagine it means the pipe and accompanying system is "purged" of the gas it has contained, by flushing out that gas with some other gas, possibly only air. "Ligne" = "line", i.e. the pipe conveying the gas. While "atelier" can mean "workshop", it can also refer to a set of equipment which, combined, serves a common purpose. In your context it might be some sort of central unit comprising control valves, pressure meters, pressure relief valves, mixer valves, etc. "Anaesthtic machine", "anaesthetic breathing apparatus", "anaesthetic system" are words you'll find on the Web. This of course refers to the apparatus used in hospitals, but there is bound to be some sort of valveset at the filling station. Hard to differentiate "poste" from "atelier". I'd venture something like "filling station" as a more general term than "valveset". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs 40 mins (2004-08-04 09:37:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- <<It is necessary to vent any residual Nitrous Oxide left in the Medical Nitrous Oxide cylinders before they can be refilled (or to carry out a full analysis on the gas to ensure that the residual gas has not been contaminated). As the product returned from the customer after use is generally of high quality (with extremely low Nitrogen content) consideration should be made to recycle this product for non-medical customers. If a recycle system is used, hose vent gas from the filling system can be collected and not vented to atmosphere. Where a recycle system is not used, a scavenging system is necessary to ensure that any Nitrous Oxide vented into the area where Operators are working to ensure that the levels are maintained below the recommended levels.>> |
