Characteristics of {sup 35}Cl+{sup 12}C collisions at 43 MeV/nucleon have been studied for events with total charge detected ({ital Z}=23). It is shown that while single-source events are present in the data, the binary nature of the collision is dominant. For binary events, the emitting sources (projectile-like and target-like) were reconstructed independently allowing a direct measurement of the total dissipated energy. It is found that up to 75{percent} of the available energy is dissipated and the significant momentum transfer of the selected events leads to the {open_quote}{open_quote}equal temperature limit.{close_quote}{close_quote} {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
