Abstract:
The device for generating electricity (1) comprises: a first heat pump (3) provided with a first closed circuit (15) in which a first heat-transfer fluid circulates, and with a first heat exchanger (17) between the first heat-transfer fluid and a flow of atmospheric air in which the flow of atmospheric air transfers a quantity of heat to the first heat-transfer fluid, at least a second heat pump (5), provided with a second closed circuit (23) in which a second heat-transfer fluid circulates, and with a second heat exchanger (25) between the second heat-transfer fluid and a third heat-transfer fluid in which the second heat-transfer fluid transfers a quantity of heat to the third heat-transfer fluid; means for transferring a quantity of heat from the first heat-transfer fluid to the second heat-transfer fluid; a third closed circuit (9), in which the third heat-transfer fluid circulates; a turbine (11) inserted on the third closed circuit (9) and driven by the third heat-transfer fluid; an electric generator (13), mechanically driven by the turbine (11).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for fungicidal and/or bactericidal treatment of plants or foodstuffs using one or more essential oil(s) that enable the treatment of strains resistant to synthetic fungicides and/or bactericides.
Abstract:
Device for the thermal fogging of a liquid, said device comprising: an unit (3) for producing a stream of pressurised hot gas; an ejection pipe (5); a first source (7) of liquid; means (9) for injecting a measured flow of liquid into the ejection pipe (5) from the first source (7) of liquid; characterised in that it comprises a sensor (11) for detecting a total or partial interruption of the measured flow of liquid injected into the ejection pipe (5) from the first source (7) of liquid; a second source (13) of liquid; means (15) for injecting an emergency flow of liquid into the ejection pipe (5) from the second source (13) of liquid when the sensor (11) detects a total or partial interruption of the measured flow of liquid injected into the ejection pipe (5) from the first source (7) of liquid.
Abstract:
A process for the treatment of fruits or vegetables after harvesting by heating to a temperature of 40.degree. to 60.degree. C. a treatment composition including, in an aqueous vehicle, a terpenic compound, and then bringing the fruits or vegetables into contact with the composition at such temperature for a period of less than or equal to 10 minutes.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a composition for the treatment of fruits and vegetables by thermal fogging. The composition comprises from 2% to 25% by weight of at least one active protective and/or preserving substance, in solution or in dispersion in an aqueous medium containing a mixture of at least two emulsifiers having each an HLB value of 3 to 20, this mixture having an average HLB value of 8 to 15, and the active substance, when it is solid and does not give a true solution in said medium, being in the form of particles smaller than 1 micron.
Abstract:
A device for the thermal fogging of a liquid, includes a unit for producing a stream of pressurized hot gas an ejection pipe; a first source of liquid; and a first circuit for injecting a measured flow of liquid into the ejection pipe (5) from the first source of liquid. In addition, the device includes a sensor for detecting a total or partial interruption of the measured flow of liquid injected into the ejection pipe from the first source of liquid; a second source of liquid; and a second circuit for injecting an emergency flow of liquid into the ejection pipe from the second source of liquid when the sensor detects a total or partial interruption of the measured flow of liquid injected into the ejection pipe from the first source of liquid.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the fungicidal, bactericidal and/or antioxidative treatment of foodstuffs, by means of formulations of essential oil in a dialkylene glycol.
Abstract:
A device for coating food products, of the type having a coating area includes: a coating conveyor provided to drive said food products in a longitudinal direction; and a device for applying a coating compound on the food products driven on the conveyor. The coating conveyor includes a chassis, a plurality of rotary brushes fastened in the longitudinal direction relative to the chassis, and a motorized assembly for driving the brushes in rotation around respective transverse axes relative to the chassis, the brushes being arranged so as to define, together, a support and driving surface for the food products and being provided to make the food products roll during the application of the coating compound.
