Idling degradation

EGR can seriously degrade engine performance, especially at idle, under load at low speed, and during cold start. Control of the amount of EGR during these phases can be accompHshed by the same electronic computer controller used in the closed loop oxygen sensor TWC system. Thus the desired NO reduction is achieved while at the same time retaining good driveabiUty.

Material should not be processed at too high a temperature, eg, above 310°C for nylon-6,6 or 290°C for nylon-6, in order to avoid degradation. Residence times at the higher temperatures should be kept to a minimum. Molten nylon should not be left in an idle machine for more than 30 min maximum. Exposure of molten and hot nylon to air should also be minimized to avoid discoloration. 

As the lipoproteins are depleted of triacylglycerol, the particles become smaller. Some of the surface molecules (apoproteins, phospholipids) are transferred to HDL. In the rat, remnants that result from chylomicron catabolism are removed by the liver. The uptake of remnant VLDL also occurs, but much of the triacylglycerol is further degraded by lipoprotein lipase to give the intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL). This particle is converted into LDL via the action of lipoprotein lipase and enriched in cholesteryl ester via transfer from HDL by the cholesteryl ester transfer protein. The half-life for clearance of chylomicrons from plasma of humans is 4-5 min. Patients with the inherited disease, lipoprotein lipase deficiency, clear chylomicrons from the plasma very slowly. When on a normal diet, the blood from these patients looks like tomato soup. A very-low-fat diet greatly relieves this problem. 

Both IDL and LDL can be removed from the circulation by the liver, which contains receptors for ApoE (IDL) and ApoB-100 (IDL and LDL). After IDL or LDL interacts with these receptors, they are internalized by the process of receptor-mediated endocytosis. Receptors for ApoB-100 are also present in peripheral tissues, so that clearance of LDL occurs one-half by the liver and one-half by other tissues. In the liver or other cells, LDL is degraded to cholesterol esters and its other component parts. Cholesterol esters are hydrolyzed by an acid lipase and may be used for cellular needs, such as the building of plasma membranes or bile salt synthesis, or they may be stored as such. Esterification of intracellular cholesterol by fatty acids is carried out by acyl-CoA-cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT). Free cholesterol derived from LDL inhibits the biosynthesis of endogenous cholesterol. B-100 receptors are regulated by endogenous cholesterol levels. The higher the latter, the fewer ApoB-100 receptors are on the cell surface, and the less LDL uptake by cells takes place. 

LDL complexes are the primary plasma carriers of cholesterol for delivery to all tissues. LDLs are taken up by cells via LDL receptor-mediated endocytosis. The uptake of LDLs occurs predominantly in liver (75%), adrenals and adipose tissue. As with IDLs, the interaction of LDLs with LDL receptors requires the presence of apo-B-100. The endocytosed membrane vesicles (endosomes) fuse with lysosomes, in which the apoproteins are degraded and the cholesterol esters are hydrolysed to yield free cholesterol. 

The restaurants and food services consume the fried products soon after their preparation. Therefore, the shelf life of the product is not a significant factor for these products. The industrial products are sold in various types of packages that protect the products from becoming rancid during storage and distribution. The oil in the restaurant fryer degrades rapidly because of the constant exposure to high temperature and the extended hours of idle time. The continuous fryer... 

VLDL is converted to IDL, which is degraded by the liver or converted in blood capillaries to LDL by further digestion of triacylglycerols. 

IDL returns to the liver, is taken up by endocytosis, and is degraded by lysosomal enzymes. 

IDL may also be further degraded by lipoprotein lipase, forming LDL. 

B. The liver and intestine are the main sonrces of circnlating lipids. Chylomicrons carry triacylglycerides and cholesterol esters from the intestine to other target tissues. VLDLs carry lipids from the liver into circulation. Lipoproteins are a mix of lipids and specific proteins and these complexes are classified based on their lipid/protein ratio. Lipoprotein lipases degrade the triacylglycerides in the chylomicrons and VLDLs with a concurrent release of apoproteins. This is a gradual process which converts the VLDLs into IDLs and then LDLs. 

Also note that the temperature range refers to battery temperature as cold batteries are worked, the temperature increases substantially. This is particularly true at low temperature since polarization is highest and the efficiency is therefore lowest. Note that, the voltage limits in Table 11.18 are modified for the set of fuel economy actions so that boost, start, and idle do not result in any noticeable degradation of accessory performance such as light dimming or electronics fade. 

LPL converts chylomicrons to chylomicron remnants and VLDL to intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL). These products, which have a relatively low triacylglyc-erol content, are taken up by the liver by the process of endocytosis and degraded by lysosomal action. IDL may also be converted to low density lipoprotein (LDL) by further digestion of triacylglycerol. Endocytosis of LDL occurs in peripheral tissues as well as the liver (Table VI. 1), and is the major means of cholesterol transport and delivery to peripheral tissues.
