French term

glissement/sur la courbe

French to English Tech/Engineering Engineering: Industrial fume treatment centre/ventilation
This is from a document concerning a fume treatment centre connected to an anode baking furnace. I am unsure as to the meaning/concept of the phrase in square brackets below (see end of passage).

Les débits théoriques aux collecteurs sont assurés (voir mesures cheminées F1
et F2).
La dépression prévue au design de 220 daPa à la sortie de chacun des fours, n’est jamais atteinte.
Les températures des fumées à l’entrée de la tour de conditionnement sont le plus souvent basses (inférieur à 100°C) ou très basse (environ 60°C à 80°C).
Bien que le registre CD30 du collecteur du four CC1 suit toujours en pleine ouverture, la dépression disponible à la pipe d’aspiration est insuffisante pour assurer un bon équilibrage des dépressions sur chacune des 7 sections.
Ceci est valable aussi bien pour la marche à 2 qu’à 3 ventilateurs de tirage, le gain en pression avec 3 ventilateurs en parallèle [avec le glissement du point de fonctionnement sur la courbe du ventilateur] est insuffisant.

All you need to know about fans
Mike Turner, Comair Rotron


The governing principle in fan selection is that any given fan can only deliver one flow at one pressure in a particular system. This "operating point" is determined by the intersection of the fan static pressure curve and the system pressure curve. Figure 3 illustrates the operating points of both high and low resistance systems. It is best to select a fan that will give an operating point being toward the high flow, low pressure end of the performance curve to maintain propeller efficiency and to avoid propeller stall. Each particular electronic packaging system should be analyzed for possible reduction in the overall resistance to airflow. Other considerations, such as available space and power, noise, reliability, and operating environment should also be brought to bear on fan choice

glissement=slip or slip-stream

In the figure, the dotted line marks out a cylindrical region containing the air influenced by the propeller, the slip stream. At the left, velocities relative to the aircraft are shown, while at the right are the absolute velocities. V is the speed of the aircraft, and the relative velocity of approach of the air. V\' is the speed of the air behind the propeller. Since V\' > V for positive thrust, the area of the slip stream is smaller in the wake of the propeller than in front of it. The absolute velocity in the slip stream is ÄV = V\' - V.

3. Eddy current couplings and other slip devices modify the fan
curve but do so via \"slip\" between the fan motor and the fan -
so the motor continues to operate at close to rated speed and
to require close to full rated horsepower.

The permanent split capacitor (PSC) motors used in the baseline furnaces do not operate at
constant speed. The difference between actual operating speed and the synchronous speed of an
induction motor is referred to as slip. For six-pole induction motors, the synchronous speed is 1200
rpm. At the rated speed of these motors of 1075 rpm, so the slip is 125 rpm.
S N N sync = -
where:
= motor slip (rpm), SN
sync = synchronous blower speed (rpm), and
= motor speed (rpm). N
For a broad operating range, the slip on induction motors is proportional to the load. For
blower motors the load is the shaft power of the blower.3

Peer comment(s):

agree Bourth (X) : Though not at all sure that slipstream has anything to do with it

See above: "slip" is likely "motor slip".
