Where hot wheel detectors are installed, the HWD scanners will be scanning trains for excessive heat caused mainly by sticking brakes. The HBD [hot box detector] computer will provide audible and visual indications of hot wheel alarm conditions. ... Hot wheel detectors do not scan the bearing like the hot box detectors. The hot wheel detectors are aligned so that the scanning path is directly on the wheel about 6 inches above the rail. 2, record 1, English, - hot%20wheel%20detector

[It] is a dual channel detector, requiring a reference flow of pure carrier gas through the reference channel. 6, record 3, English, - thermal%20conductivity%20detector
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 OBS
The detector consists of a bridge circuit; the change in resistance in the sample channel during the passage of the sample produces an out-of-balance signal that is the basis of the detection. The detector responds to all components except the carrier gas and it is non-destructive. 6, record 3, English, - thermal%20conductivity%20detector

Le détecteur se compose d’un circuit en pont. La variation de résistance dans le canal d’échantillonnage pendant le passage de l’échantillon produit un déséquilibre du signal qui constitue le point de départ de la détection. Le détecteur, qui est non-destructif, répond à tous les constituants excepté le gaz vecteur. 3, record 3, French, - d%C3%A9tecteur%20%C3%A0%20conductivit%C3%A9%20thermique
